From the first message to the last clean plate
Five steps, with the same chef planning, cooking and serving your dinner.
Send the enquiry
Share the date, the number of guests, the occasion and every allergy or dietary need at the table.
Read the draft menu
Within two working days the chef sends a menu written for your guests, with a price per guest.
Settle the details
A short call agrees the courses, the serving time and what your kitchen has, then the deposit holds the date.
The chef shops and arrives
On the day the chef buys the produce and arrives about three hours before you sit down.
Cook, serve and clear
Courses go out at your pace, and the kitchen is cleaned and the bins taken out before the chef leaves.
Weekly meals, cooked in your kitchen
One afternoon a week, the chef cooks a batch of dinners in your home, labels them and stores them in your fridge. Groceries are bought for you and charged at the price on the receipt.
| Plan | What you get | Visit | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two dinners | Two dinners for up to four people, with sides | One visit, about 3 hours | $180 a week |
| Family week | Five dinners for up to four people, plus lunch boxes for two | One visit, about 5 hours | $340 a week |
| New parents | Five dinners and a batch of breakfasts that reheat gently | One visit, about 5 hours | $360 a week |
| Stock the freezer | Twelve portions of soups, stews and sauces, frozen and labelled | One visit, about 4 hours | $260 a visit |
Weekly plans run month to month and pause with a week of notice. Groceries are added to each invoice at cost.
Allergies and diets, declared before we plan
The enquiry form asks for every allergy and intolerance at the table, because the menu is written around them from the first draft. Tell us about every guest, children included.
Allergies on the enquiry
List each guest's allergies and intolerances when you enquire. The chef confirms them in writing with the draft menu and keeps those dishes apart on the night.
Vegetarian and vegan tables
Whole menus can be vegetarian or vegan, or a single guest can be given a matching plate for every course so nobody eats something lesser.
Faith and cultural diets
Halal meat comes from a certified butcher on request, and pork or alcohol can be left out of every dish. We cook in your kitchen, so we cannot offer a certified kosher service.
When we have to say no
A home kitchen is not an allergen controlled kitchen. If a trace of an allergen could harm a guest, we say so plainly and may decline that dinner rather than take the risk.
If anyone feels unwell during a meal, the chef stops service and calls your local emergency number.
Your kitchen, treated the way we treat our own
The chef arrives with knives, a few trusted pans, aprons and any serving pieces the menu calls for. Your kitchen needs a working oven, a hob, a sink and some clear fridge space, and we check all of that on the planning call so nothing surprises anyone on the night.
Every chef on our team holds a food hygiene certificate, and the rules for cooking in a client's home vary by country and region. We follow the local rules wherever we cook, keep chilled produce cold on the way to you and leave the kitchen cleaner than we found it.
- Knives, pans and serving pieces brought along
- Produce carried in cool boxes from the market
- Plates, pans and worktops washed before we leave
- Leftovers packed and labelled for the next day

Dinner parties, birthdays and Sunday lunches in apartments, townhouses and garden terraces.
From hosts who finally sat down (example reviews)
For once we sat with our guests instead of hiding in the kitchen. Three people with different allergies each had a plate that looked just like everyone else's.
The tasting menu for my mother's eightieth was paced so gently that nobody felt rushed, and her cake came out with candles and her name on the plate. The kitchen was spotless by midnight.
Five dinners waiting in the fridge every Monday has changed our weeks. Each label says what the dish is and how long to warm it, and the children eat the vegetables.
Before you hand over the kitchen
How far ahead should we enquire?
Two to three weeks is usual for a dinner party, and six weeks for December and other busy dates. Short notice dinners are sometimes possible, so ask anyway.
Do we buy the ingredients?
No. The chef shops on the day or the day before, and ingredients are included in the price per guest. Weekly meal plans are the exception, where groceries are charged at the receipt price.
What do we need in our kitchen?
A working oven and hob, a sink, some space in the fridge and enough plates and glasses for your guests. If you are short of anything, tell us and we bring it or arrange to hire it.
Can you bring the wine?
We suggest wines to match the menu but do not sell alcohol, because the licence rules for that vary by country. You buy the bottles, and the chef or server pours them.
How do you handle allergies?
Every allergy and intolerance goes on the enquiry form, and the chef confirms them in writing with the menu. If an allergy is too severe to cook around safely in a home kitchen, we tell you before any deposit is paid.
What if we need to cancel?
Cancel 14 days or more before the dinner and the deposit is returned in full. Inside 14 days the deposit covers produce already ordered, and the balance is never charged.
Send an enquiry
Say when the dinner is, how many guests are coming and why you are gathering, and list every allergy at the table. The chef replies within two working days with a draft menu and a price per guest, or lets you know if the date is already taken.
- Nothing is booked until you approve a menu
- Deposits and payment are arranged directly with us
- Allergies confirmed in writing before the dinner
