Why hire a private chef
A private chef at home sounds like an incredible luxury and is a fantastic alternative to dining out. It's an accessible way to do something truly special in your own (temporary) living room, from fine dining to, for example, a barbecue chef.
Hiring a private chef will be tailored to your wishes - and yours alone. You can have your favourite ingredients included, and leave out anything you don't like.
For example, if you have a severe allergy, you don’t have to worry about cross-contamination or accidentally getting the wrong dish in your own kitchen. There are no other guests, so no plates with nuts, fish, citrus, or any other ingredients you absolutely need to avoid.
It doesn’t have to be a luxury dinner either, you could even hire a barbecue chef, or how about a cooking workshop with a chef right in your own home?
