Allow me to set the table for you using your dishes. This is not charged per person, but does require one extra hour of preparation time.
Additional Menu Items
I typically ask that each guest order the same item; however, for an additional fee, and additional preparation time, I am happy to accommodate almost any request. Prices vary by item and number of different items ordered.
Day-of Shopping
Do you need a few extra things picked up before your event but don't have the time? No problem! I'll do it for you. Examples may include picking up flowers, wine, ice, candles, a few bags of chips, etc. For this service, I charge a flat rate of $40 plus 50% of total purchases plus the cost of the purchases. If your purchases totalled $200, your invoice for this service would be $340.

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.
