I offer a private dining experience in your home, designed for intimate meals and small gatherings of 2–6 guests. With menus planned in advance and prepared fresh on site, you’re free to stay present with your guests and enjoy restaurant-quality food in the ease and familiarity of your own space.
The Experience
Each menu is tailored to your preferences, the season, and the occasion. Cooking draws from Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Indian, and farm-to-table traditions, with an emphasis on flavor, balance, and thoughtful preparation. Most dishes are made from scratch using minimally processed ingredients and traditional techniques.
Private chef services can be booked for a single evening, a weekend stay, or ongoing arrangements, depending on your needs.
The Process
After an initial conversation to understand your preferences, dietary needs, and the nature of the occasion, a proposed menu is shared for review and approval. Once confirmed, ingredients are sourced in advance and all cooking is done in your kitchen on the scheduled day.
The service includes menu planning, preparation, on-site cooking, and full kitchen clean-up, allowing you to simply enjoy the experience.
Pricing
Private chef services are quoted based on the scope of the experience. Pricing is structured as a service fee plus the cost of groceries, billed separately.
Service fees start at $350 and include menu planning, ingredient sourcing, on-site cooking, and full kitchen clean-up. Final pricing varies depending on guest count, menu complexity, and location.
Grocery costs are billed separately and depend on the agreed menu and ingredient choices. An estimate is always provided in advance.
Portions & Menu Composition
Menus are customized, but a typical private chef experience includes multiple courses designed for the number of guests, with a balance of proteins, vegetables, and seasonal accompaniments.
The focus is on creating a satisfying, well-composed meal rather than volume alone.
