Allow yourself to enjoy a meal in the comfort of your own home, with none of the work

From a romantic dinner for 2, to an upbeat party for 12, you choose the vibe. I take care of the cooking, service, and clean-up, so you can focus on being present with your guests.

Pricing

Private dinner experiences start at $300 + the cost of groceries.

This base rate reflects a minimum of five hours of dedicated time, including:

  • Grocery Shopping

  • On-site preparation & service

  • Kitchen clean-up.

For larger guest counts or more elaborate menus (such as multi-course tasting experiences), additional time may be required. Any adjustments are discussed and confirmed during our consultation.

Groceries are billed separately. During our planning call, we’ll review what you already have on hand (staples like rice, oils, or produce) and I’ll design the menu to align with both your preferences and your budget.

For gatherings larger than 12 guests, or for more complex service styles, a second set of hands may be recommended to ensure the evening flows smoothly. We’ll determine that together during the planning process.

How It Works

  1. Consultation & Menu Design
    We’ll connect to confirm your date, guest count, dietary preferences, and the overall feel of the evening. I’ll design a custom menu tailored to your tastes and your space.

    A 50% deposit secures your date and allows me to begin planning.

  2. Ingredient Sourcing
    I handle the shopping based on our agreed menu, budget, and ingredient preferences — whether that means organic, local, specialty items, or a more streamlined approach. Every purchase reflects the vision we’ve discussed.

  3. Preparation & Service
    On the day of your event, I arrive with time to prep, cook, and plate each course on-site. I manage the flow of the evening so dishes arrive smoothly and you can focus on enjoying your guests.

  4. Clean Up
    After the final course, I take care of the kitchen and leave the space clean and orderly, so you’re left with nothing to do but relax!
