Make dinner the easiest part of your week.
Eating exceptionally well at home shouldn’t require planning menus, making grocery lists, shopping, cooking and cleaning up afterward.
Recurring private chef service is designed to remove all of that from your week.
Each dinner is created specifically for your household—around the way you like to eat, the ingredients at their best that season, and the dietary needs and preferences of the people sitting at your table.
When it’s your private-chef night, dinner is already handled.
One price. Full hospitality.
Recurring private chef dinners begin at $350 per evening for up to two adults.
Each evening includes a three-course dinner:
Appetizer
Entrée
Dessert
But the service begins well before I arrive at your home.
Your nightly rate includes menu planning, ingredient sourcing, grocery shopping, preparation, in-home cooking and complete kitchen cleanup. I arrive with my own cookware and primary cooking equipment, prepare and serve dinner in your kitchen, clean my workspace afterward, and rinse and load your dinnerware into the dishwasher.
There are no separate grocery bills, shopping fees, preparation charges or cleanup fees. Dinner is one price, established in advance.
Built around your household.
There is no standard menu that gets repeated from one home to another.
Your dinners are created around your tastes, dietary needs, routines and the way your household actually likes to eat. Dietary preferences and restrictions—including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar free can be accommodated. Allergies and more significant dietary requirements are discussed individually so we can determine how they can be safely accommodated in your home kitchen.
Each Sunday, you’ll receive the upcoming menu for review. If something doesn’t sound right, we change it.
LEARNED HOSPITALITY
The longer I cook for your household, the less you should have to tell me.
A truly personal service gets better with time.
I learn what your family loves, what the kids will actually eat, how you prefer your steak cooked, which flavors you return to and when you’re ready to try something new.
Eventually, dinner shouldn’t require much direction at all.
I know your table.
Dinner is built around your household.
$350 per evening includes dinner for up to two adults. Additional adults and guests are $75 per person.
Children under 16 who are part of the household are included at no additional charge. When appropriate, dishes can be adapted for younger diners while keeping everyone around the same table rather than creating an entirely separate children’s menu.
Guests age 16 and older are considered adults for pricing purposes.
Family dinner should still feel like family dinner.
Your night each week.
Private chef service is built around consistency.
Your household reserves a recurring evening—or evenings—on my weekly calendar. That means you’re not booking dinner from week to week or wondering whether I’ll be available. Your evening is already set aside for your family.
Some households choose one night each week. Others reserve two. Either way, the rhythm is simple: I plan the menu, source the ingredients, arrive ready to cook, and leave the kitchen clean when dinner is finished.
Same night. Same chef. Dinner handled.
Annual Service Calendar
Private chef service is offered approximately 42 weeks each year. My annual service calendar includes planned time away for travel, time outdoors and other commitments that are important to my life and work. Those dates are communicated well in advance and are never billed, so you’ll always know when I’ll be at your table and when service will pause.
That balance allows me to return to each household with the same energy, creativity and attention to detail that this kind of personal service deserves.
Simple, predictable billing.
Private chef service is billed monthly in advance, with invoices sent on the first of each month for that month’s scheduled dinners. Your recurring evening remains yours for as long as we continue working together.
Before your monthly schedule is finalized, simply let me know about vacations, travel or other dates when you won’t need service. Those evenings will be removed from your schedule and will not be billed.
Once the month’s schedule has been finalized and invoiced, your recurring evenings are reserved specifically for your household. If plans change and you need to cancel a scheduled dinner, 50% of that evening’s service will be applied as a credit toward the following month.
Life happens. Emergencies and unexpected circumstances will always be handled personally and reasonably.
No weekly invoices. No grocery receipts. No surprise charges.
GETTING STARTED.
Private chef service begins with a conversation.
Your application gives me a chance to learn a little about your household—who I’ll be cooking for, how often you’d like service, your preferred evenings, dietary needs and the way you like to eat.
From there, we’ll talk personally about what you’re looking for and whether the service feels like the right fit for both of us.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll establish your recurring evening or evenings, go through your household preferences in greater detail and choose your first dinner date.
