Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a chef for one night?
A one-night private chef experience typically costs $150-$500 total. The price depends on guest count (2-12 people), number of courses (3-7), ingredients, and your chef's experience level.
Do you need to hire a chef in advance?
We recommend booking 2-3 days ahead for personal dinners and 1+ week for multi-course special events. Some chefs offer same-day availability if you need something spontaneous.
What kind of food does a one-night chef cook?
Any cuisine you want. Browse chefs by specialty — Italian, French, Japanese, Caribbean, BBQ, vegan, and more. You choose the menu together before the chef arrives.
Do I need to provide ingredients or equipment?
Just your kitchen and a place to eat. Most chefs handle grocery shopping (cost added to your booking), bring their own knives and specialty equipment, cook, plate, serve, and clean up afterward.
