- The Personal Chef Service
At Home
This service is a very personal one, one my clients have decided to use again and again. After an initial meeting with me, menus will be created to your taste, requirements and budget. I will asses your kitchen and determine the equipment I will need to bring with me on the day. On the day of your party, I will arrive at your house at a pre-arranged time having shopped for the best ingredients to create your gastronomic event. Your kitchen will be tidied and left sparkling. I will always recommend you to use the friendly & efficient waitress service as this allows you to completely enjoy your occasion
