Private Dinners
The concept of fine dining in home comes from my belief that good food should be shared with friends. People want an elevated, fine-dining experience in their home but often lack the confidence to prepare it on their own. With my help, fine dining in your home is attainable.
My approach is to use my family recipes, with simple ingredients, to present a plate that reflects a fine-dining restaurant. The sweet spot of my recipes are founded in Italian Cuisine and Mediterranean Fusion. All my Private Dinner menus are bespoke - they are custom designed just for you!
What to expect: I design a menu for 2 to 8 guests, at a price comparable to an upscale restaurant, with care taken for personal preferences and allergies.
How this works….
A private dinner generally for 2 to 8 guests and is a multi-course menu designed specifically for you. Some dinners may require an assistant for an extra charge to ensure food and service remain exceptional.
When you contact me (use the button above) I will send you a form where you will tell me about your event, such as likes, dislikes, food allergies, preferences, and theme.
Price is dependent on the menu, number of courses, cost of ingredients, and complexity of dishes. Expect between $100 to $140 per guest.
Family Style and Buffet Events
In some cases, an elegant plated dinner does not meet your needs, either due to the number of guests or the type of event. What better way to bring people together than sharing a meal with each other. Enjoy appetizers, entrees and desserts, all served family style for everyone to enjoy!
As with all my Dinner menus, these are bespoke as well - they are custom designed just for you!
What to expect: I design a menu for 10-20 guests. I will always work closely with you to design a menu at a price that works for you, with care taken for personal preferences and allergies.
How this works….
This is specifically designed for larger groups of 10 to 20 guests…or more. You may want a buffet or family style service.
When you contact me (use the button above) I will send you a form where you will tell me about your event, such as likes, dislikes, food allergies, preferences, and theme.
Price is dependent on the menu, number of courses, cost of ingredients, and complexity of dishes. Expect between $75 and $95 per guest.
