Three ways to put me in your kitchen

Everything I do fits one of these three shapes. Each has a scope, a duration, and a price — so you know before you write whether it fits the evening, or the venue, you have in mind.

01 · A private tasting dinner, cooked at your table

The Chef’s Table

Price
$2,400
Scope
Up to 10 guests
Duration
One evening · five courses

I bring the kitchen to you. One conversation about who’s coming and what they love, then a five-course menu written for that table alone — sourced, cooked, and served in your home or venue while you stay in the conversation.

What’s included

  • A menu written for your table after one call — never repeated
  • All sourcing, cooking, and plated service on the night
  • Wine notes for every course, poured from your own cellar
  • Your kitchen left cleaner than I found it

02 · For restaurants and cafés reworking what they serve

Menu Development

Price
From $6,500
Scope
One venue, one menu
Duration
Three weeks · on site and off

When a menu stops telling the truth about a kitchen, I help rewrite it. We start from what your room, your line, and your suppliers can actually do brilliantly — then build dishes your team can hold at full service, night after night.

What’s included

  • A working audit of the current menu, kitchen, and suppliers
  • Tasting sessions with your team until the dishes are yours
  • Costed recipes and plating guides for every new dish
  • One full service cooked alongside your line to land it

03 · Training days that make a line move like one kitchen

Kitchen Intensives

Price
$1,100 per day
Scope
Teams up to 12
Duration
One or two days · in your kitchen

A day on your stations, built around your menu — not a cooking class. We work on mise en place, station discipline, pace, and plating standards until the whole line holds them without being asked.

What’s included

  • A training day designed around your actual menu and stations
  • Prep-list and mise-en-place systems your team keeps
  • Plating standards the whole line can hold at speed
  • A follow-up call two weeks in, once it has had time to stick

Not sure which shape fits? Write anyway.

Tell me what you’re planning and I’ll tell you honestly which of the three it is — or whether it’s a dinner for someone else’s kitchen.
