This September, Chef Amy welcomes Chef Shamim of Lapis for an unforgettable evening in Centrolina’s Private Chef’s Salon. From humble beginnings as an Afghan refugee in 1987—learning to cook rice over long-distance calls to her mother—Chef Shamim has become one of DC’s most beloved chefs. At Lapis, her cooking is rooted in memory and family, blending tradition, flavor, and heart in every dish. Together, she and Chef Amy will craft a dinner that honors heritage, resilience, and the joy of gathering around the table.
