Private Chef

Private chef service

A private chef for one evening or for every week. Michael writes the menu around your table, then shops, cooks, serves and leaves your kitchen clean.

01

Dinner parties

An intimate dinner for two, a birthday with friends, or a long table for the people who matter most. Menus are written for the occasion: seated and plated, family style, or a relaxed spread for a casual evening at home.

The chef arrives with everything needed, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course, and leaves the kitchen as they found it.

Stays and weekly service

A chef who cooks for your household on a regular schedule, with menus planned around your family's tastes, routines and dietary needs. Meals can be served fresh or prepared to enjoy through the week.

Weekly service also suits a summer house or a long stay: one chef, one set of menus, every meal handled.

Questions

Before you inquire

What does a private chef from Indulge Chefs do?

A private chef from Indulge Chefs plans a menu around your table, shops for it, cooks it in your kitchen, serves it, and leaves the kitchen clean. You host; we handle the food from first conversation to final plate. It works for an intimate dinner for two, a dinner party with friends, or a full weekend of meals for a house full of guests.

What is included with a private chef?

Shopping, chef labor, transportation and cleanup are included. Your chef arrives with fresh ingredients about two hours before your guests to prep and cook, serves each course, and leaves your kitchen clean. Servers, bartenders, flowers and party rentals can be added for larger events. Please email for pricing and availability.

Can we book a private chef for a whole weekend or a full week?

Yes. Private chef bookings can cover one night, a weekend, or a full week, with breakfast, lunch and dinner planned around your schedule. Tell us how many days, how many guests, and which meals you need in your inquiry, and we will build the plan and the menus around it.

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions?

Yes. Every menu is written for the people at the table, so allergies, intolerances and preferences such as vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or kosher-style are planned in from the start. List every guest's needs in your inquiry, and we will confirm the menu with you before the event.

Anything else, ask us directly.
