Hire a private chef to cook at your home

Find freelance chefs for a dinner in your own kitchen. Agree on the menu, ingredients, service and cleanup before paying for your booking.

What hiring a home chef includes

Each published chef sets a price per guest. The client pays the base booking price plus a 10% service fee. Before booking, agree on the menu, ingredient costs, kitchen equipment, serving and cleanup. Availability and any dietary requirements need confirmation from your chef.

Dinner parties at home

A multi-course menu cooked in your kitchen for 4–12 guests, served course by course.

Birthdays and anniversaries

Celebration menus with a dessert course, timed around speeches and cake.

Holiday rentals and villas

Chefs travel to your rental or villa, shop locally and cook with what's in season.

Dietary-specific cooking

Discuss dietary requirements and cross-contact risks with your chef. Training does not guarantee an allergen-free meal.
