HOW IT WORKS

your gathering; we hand select the perfect private chef to fit
your party specifics.
We listen to your tastes to create a menu, from a coursed
dinner to a buffet style brunch.
Your personal chef shops, preps, cooks, and serves [along
with additional staff if needed]. We use your serveware,
glasses, linen napkins and bring your home to life.
The occasion will be personal & unique to you. We clean up
and pack leftovers to enjoy the next day.
