Menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, table service and full cleanup, with ingredients bought the same day. You pay only once you have chosen your menu.
Your Italian or European private chef experience in Miami starts in the afternoon, when your chef arrives with the ingredients bought for your menu and sets up in your kitchen. Over the next few hours the pasta is rolled by hand, the sauces simmer, the fish goes on at the last minute and dessert is plated while you are still at the table. Cooking, plating, serving and cleanup are all handled by your chef, so you never have to leave your guests. If you live in a condo building, let the front desk know your chef is coming: a few minutes of notice is usually all it takes.
An example of an Italian menu for a dinner in Miami — Aperitivo: burrata with roasted peppers and basil on crostini. Primo: handmade spaghetti alla chitarra with Key West pink shrimp, garlic, chili and lemon. Secondo: whole roasted yellowtail snapper with capers, Taggiasca olives and a lemon butter sauce. Dolce: classic tiramisù with mascarpone and Italian espresso. In season, Florida stone crab can open the evening.
Menus are fully customizable: this is one example of the Italian dishes your chef might prepare, and every course can change around your guests.
Book your Italian or European private chef at least 5-7 days in advance, so your chef can plan your menu and shop for the best seasonal produce. Miami's busiest weeks run from December to April, when seasonal residents are back and Art Basel fills the calendar: for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve, book two to three weeks ahead.
