Dan was amazing! He produced a wonderful three-course meal for my sister’s 50th birthday celebration which surpassed all of our expectations and made the occasion one to truly remember. He went the extra mile and was absolutely lovely to have in our home. Thank you, Dan and Chefin. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

I really enjoyed the whole process from beginning to end, I think we put together something really special and no one in Sydney can match it. Judging from the feedback I’m receiving, if we can do this again, we will more than double the patrons. I think we should and hope you guys are up for it. A very classy operation.

Chef Laurent and his assistants were so friendly and very professional in every respect of the service they provided for our party. The food presented was fantastic and enjoyed by all. At the end of the night they left the kitchen so clean, you would not have known anyone had been there. Thanks so much for making my wife’s 60th a memorable occasion.

What does a Private Chef service include in Australia?

Once a booking is confirmed, an algorithm will identify and match you with the best-suited private chef who will tailor a menu for you. On the day, your private chef will arrive 1.5 hours beforehand with all fresh ingredients, and begin preparing your dishes. Waitstaff arrives separately. The team will take care of all the food and drinks (as advised). After the event is over, the team will clean the kitchen and event area before leaving you to bask in the afterglow of a wonderful event. Drinks, tableware, and glassware can be arranged as add-on services.

Do you have a Private Chef available to cook for my event?

As a platform with more than 400 available chefs in Australia, we always have availability – or your money-back guarantee! Our team works relentlessly to ensure we have the largest selection of private chefs across the country and can fulfill every single guest’s request. On a very unlikely occasion, even if your assigned private chef has to cancel your event, we could still arrange an alternative private chef for you at the last minute. This is the power of a platform – peace of mind for your special occasions.

How can I hire a Private Chef?

Once a PACKAGE (dining style) is booked, CHEFIN’s sophisticated algorithm will take your preferences & match these with the available private chefs in your location. You will be presented with a choice of private chefs, though during busy periods/last-minute bookings, you will be assigned a private chef to work with. Once a private chef is chosen, she/he will customize a menu based on your special requests. A few rounds of menu revisions could be provided upon your feedback.

What do I need to prepare for a Private Chef service?

Not much to be honest. Your private chef will only need your assistance with a few small things. You need to prepare a space in your fridge (1-2 shelves), clear your kitchen bench, and introduce the private chef to the kitchen & dining areas. Depending on your booking you will need to prepare crockery/glassware/cutlery & set the table if no wait staff is included in your event booking. If you have reserved a waitstaff with us, the team could help you with table setting before the service.

MAXIMIZING YOUR INGREDIENT BUDGET

At CHEFIN, we’re all about great food and that starts with top-notch ingredients. We’re picky about what goes into our dishes, making sure every ingredient is the best it can be. We get our goods from trusted suppliers and local farmers who care about sustainable farming just as much as we do. Our chefs have a wide range of high-quality producers to choose from, so they can pick only the best for you. When we choose our ingredients, we focus on three things: their health benefits, their impact on the environment, and their social footprint.

Putting chefs at the center of the culinary experience

Chefs are not just cooks; they are the creative minds who bring art to the dining table. It’s time to pivot back to the heart and soul of the culinary experience – the chefs themselves. They are the ones who bring creativity, passion and expertise to the table. They not only create dishes but also tell stories through their food. Therefore, it’s essential to reintroduce chefs as the core of the culinary experience, placing them back at the center stage where they truly belong. Their skills, knowledge, and artistry should be the main focus. So let’s celebrate chefs, for they truly are the stars of the culinary world.
