Why Hire a Private Chef?

Hiring a private chef to cook dinner in your home or vacation rental offers a level of luxury that is surprisingly great value for the money. Dining out with a large group can easily cost the same—if not more—once you factor in drinks, gratuities, and transportation. By choosing a private chef, you avoid the hassle of coordinating travel to and from a restaurant, and instead, you get to enjoy a beautifully prepared meal in the comfort of your own space. The experience is entirely personalized, with every detail tailored to your preferences, including dietary restrictions and pacing. There’s no need to rush through courses or compete with a noisy dining room for service. Best of all, when dinner is over, you don’t have to lift a finger—no cleanup, no stress, just a relaxed, memorable evening with your guests. Having a chef cook just for you adds a special touch that turns any occasion into something truly unforgettable.

The above prices include all the food, preparation and service costs. In all cases, food prep (as much as possible) will be done off site in our commercial kitchen.  We will arrive an hour or so before your desired dinner time, and we would prepare the final stages in your kitchen. All clean up, during the dinner and afterwards (including all the dishes) is taken care of, and we leave everything as we found it before we arrived. If you do not have dinnerware, we can provide that at an additional cost.  

For the menu itself, we can offer suggestions (see below for some suggestions and a couple of our seasonal menu examples), and take into account any allergies or restrictions. We can also suggest beer and/or wine pairings for each course at no additional cost.  We require a 50% deposit (to cover food/prep costs) and the remaining balance is due the day of the dinner day.
