I had the most incredible chef ever!!! Chef Nicolas Devenelle was AMAZING. Not only was his food the most mouth watering, tastiest food ever but his personality was outstanding!! He was so sweet and informative. Wish I could’ve packed him in my suit case, lol I could eat his food everyday.

Before I even got to my destination Chef Dania was very involved and inviting.. It was a pleasure to have her be our guest.. not only we had some friends that had allergies issues she made sure to explain each dish..
Each dish was amazing and was presented beautifully.. Dania if you ever get to read this, just know you've made new friends from NYC and everyone can't wait to hire you again.. It was a pleasure to meet you and your assistant... thank you for making my 40th amazing and going beyond to help with decor and the cake was amazing...

Does the Private Chef cook at my house?
A Private Chef always prepares the menu at the client's home, as it is an inherent part of the experience.

Are the ingredients for a Private Chef service fresh?
Every Private Chef gives the utmost importance to the freshness of the ingredients used in their menus. The main difference between a restaurant and a private chef is in the personalized treatment of each diner. The chef personalizes the menu, and based on that menu, makes the necessary purchases to develop the menu chosen by the customers. Therefore, the freshness of the ingredients is one of the key elements of a Private Chef service.
Are drinks included in a Private Chef service?
Drinks are not included by default. However, you can reach an agreement with the chef in order to add drinks as an "extra" to the menu proposal.
