In the world of fine dining, restaurants offer a dazzling
assortment of food and drinks. The only drawback may be the trip
to the restaurant. In today’s entertainment scene, people are
taking advantage of another option: ENTERTAIN IN YOUR HOME WITH
A PERSONAL CHEF PREPARING A FABULOUS MEAL.
From an intimate dinner for two or a gathering of twenty-five, a
Personal Chef can tailor each event for any specific occasion.
When there are more guests, a buffet with all of the food
prepared on site, may be another alternative.
It can be a very romantic evening with all of the dinner
decisions made ahead of time. What a way to impress the special
person in your life when you are going to propose marriage or if
you just want the ultimate dining experience.
Business meetings are also becoming more popular in one’s home.
Event planners are suggesting Personal Chefs to prepare meals in
their clients’ home rather than taking their guests to a busy
place. The atmosphere is more relaxed in a home and the host is
able to socialize and talk more freely with each guest. Business
entertaining can incorporate a sense of warmth.

A Personal Chef is a little different from other meal services
since all of the food is prepared from scratch in the clients’
home. Since the host will generally purchase the wine and other
libations, the total cost of the evening is usually less costly
than entertaining at a fine restaurant.
The menu
will be planned several days in advance of the party so all of
the ingredients can be ordered if they are not readily
available. If wine is to be paired with each course, selections
must be made ahead of time so all is ready.
On the day of the dinner party, the Chef begins early. There are
recipes to be finalized and ingredients to be purchased. Since
the Personal Chef will use all of his own equipment, all of the
procedures must be reviewed in advance to be sure everything is
ready for the cooking process.
I will do a complete review of the facilities prior to the day
of the party. The client may have limited facilities in the
kitchen so planning ahead of time will be necessary so the Chef
can bring any additional equipment.
