Family-Style Menus
Available Year Round
What is a family-style dinner?
A family-style dinner is when food is served in big dishes on the table, and everyone helps themselves. It’s all about sharing and enjoying a variety of dishes together. One serving dish of each menu item is served per 4-5 guests.

When You Book Me
As part of my Private Chef Service, I provide everything needed except glassware, plates, cutlery, and the kitchen. I like to say that you provide the kitchen and I provide the rest. You may be wondering exactly what I provide. Here is a checklist that I use to ensure that I have everything I need.
I may not bring everything on the list, but if I need it, I will have it. On top of that, it is always my goal to leave your kitchen cleaner than I found it. Yes, I even do the dishes and clean your kitchen after dinner.
