Private chef at home

A restaurant evening at home

You host, I take care of everything else. A restaurant-quality dinner in your own home, without the kitchen stress.

A private chef at home means I arrive a few hours before your guests, bring the ingredients and specialist equipment, and look after the evening from start to finish. Suited to parties of 2–15. For larger tables of around 10–12, a server joins when needed so the evening flows smoothly.

The labour share qualifies for the Finnish household tax deduction when the dinner is cooked in your home or holiday home. Read about the tax deduction.

How it works

01

Planning

We plan the menu together, I choose the wine pairings and we stay in touch before the evening.

02

Preparation

I arrive about three hours before your guests — with a server for larger events. We set the table and I prep all the food.

03

The dinner

I cook and serve each course and talk you through the dishes and wines — restaurant-level service in your own home.

04

To finish

Espresso-based drinks, the kitchen cleaned — and you simply relax.

Pricing

Tailored, not packaged

The price takes shape around the menu, the ingredients, your party size and the location — which is why we don't list fixed prices. You get exactly what suits your occasion.

Menus typically approx. €130–170 / guest

For intimate dinners of just a few guests, the per-guest price is higher than this.
