Private Dinner Experience
A multi-course tasting menu, prepared in your kitchen and plated to order — for two, for twelve, for the moments worth slowing down.
A private dinner is the most intimate way I work. We design the menu around your occasion — an anniversary, a proposal, a birthday, a quiet Tuesday that deserves something more — and I cook every course in your home, plating each one as it is ready to leave the kitchen.
Most evenings run three to seven courses, paced so the conversation never stops for the food. I shop the morning of (or the day before for special occasions), arrive 2–3 hours ahead of service, and stay through coffee and full kitchen cleanup. You get the meal. You do not get the dishes.
What I love about cooking in your home is that nothing is shared. The menu is built for your table alone — never pulled from a fixed card — and I cook to the ingredients I find that morning, not to a food-cost spreadsheet. Each course is plated the moment it is ready, the way a restaurant pass works, so it reaches you at its peak. No noise, no waiting, no taxi home — just dinner, in your own space, at your own pace.
