In-Home Private Chef in Provence

Here’s how it Works,

The Chef  will do his best to organize your private lunch or dinner according to your availability. Ideally, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to prepare the meal in your kitchen (Rentals & Homes) before serving. If you are unable to receive the chef 3 hours before service, he can make some preparations in advance in his own kitchen. Here are the details:

  • Chef arrives with the ingredients and equipment to cook. He sets up the kitchen before starting the preparation of the meal. Thank you for reserving space in the refrigerator and freezer.

  • He will cook for 2 to 3 hours depending on the recipes asked in advance ; he will preparate some preparations in advance in his own kitchen. You will be able to observe the preparation of the menu and take part in some steps if you wish. If you want to prepare with him the menu, ask for a cooking class service instead of a private chef service.

  • At the time determined in advance, Clement will begin the table service of the meal by his own. Ideally, please empty the dishwasher. If you do not have a dishwasher, please specify all those informations when booking.

  • At the end of the meal, Chef Clément will put the kitchen in order and leave the set clean. It takes about 30 minutes to 45 minutes between the end of the meal and the departure of the chef; The time to recover his equipment.
