How does it work?
1. What do we need to provide?
I will bring everything required to prepare and serve your menu. All I ask is that your kitchen has a working oven and stove, basic cookware, some space in your refrigerator, and access to clean running water. If necessary, I may use some of your utensils. Please note that I do not provide glassware or table setup; however, I can assist if required. My primary focus is to cook and serve the food, and I will provide all plates and cutlery needed for your event.
2. How many chefs are coming?
Depending on the type of event selected, additional chefs may be required to ensure the highest quality of service. • Plated events: 1 additional chef is required for every 8 guests • Apéro, raclette, and breakfast events: 1 additional chef is required for every 15 guests • Grazing table events: 1 additional chef is required for every 30 guests This structure ensures exceptional quality, smooth service, and allows time for me to present each dish and share its story with you and your guests. Additional chefs are billed at $53 per hour, for 5 hours per chef, regardless of the event duration, and will be included on your event invoice.
3. Do you provide service staff, and how does service work?
My services are chef-led and food-focused. I handle the preparation, plating, and presentation of all dishes, ensuring quality and timing throughout the event. For intimate events, service is often managed directly by me and the kitchen team, with dishes served by the chef to the table or passed to guests. For larger events or those requiring formal table service, dedicated service staff can be arranged upon request to manage guest service, clearing, and beverage service. If service staff are required, this will be discussed during planning and included in your event proposal and invoice to ensure smooth, seamless service aligned with the style of your event.
4. Do you offer alcohol?
We are strictly BYO at this time. I am working on it! However, I’m more than happy to recommend wine pairings upon request.
5. How long is your service?
This depends on the number of courses selected. On average, I spend around 5 hours in your kitchen, usually arriving 2 hours before the event to set up and prepare. If you prefer a shorter or longer service, just let me know. At the end of the evening, I leave your kitchen spotless before wishing you a wonderful night.
6. Do you offer your service outside of Brisbane Metropolitan area?
Yes, I do. Travel fees are as follows: Brisbane: Free of charge Gold Coast, Sunshine coast and surroundings: $100
7. Is the menu price all-inclusive?
Yes. Menu prices include: All ingredients Preparation Service Crockery & cutlery Complete kitchen clean-up Additional costs may apply for upgrades, special requests, extra chefs, travel fees, or parking in no-parking zones.
8. Do you provide dietaries requierments?
Yes. All dietary requirements receive an alternative course of equal quality. Dietaries must be communicated at least 72 hours before the event to ensure proper planning.
