Occasions
A private chef for Christmas and New Year’s Eve
The holidays at home, with the family at the table and nobody shut away in the kitchen. The chef cooks the festive menu, serves and leaves everything tidy.
The holidays without a day at the stove
Whoever hosts Christmas lunch or New Year’s Eve often misses half of it among pots and plates. With a private chef, shopping, cooking, table service and cleaning the kitchen are all included: you stay with your guests.

You can book for every occasion of the season, and say in your request whether you want traditional Italian dishes or something different.
- Christmas Eve dinner, traditionally fish in Italy
- Christmas lunch with the family
- Lunch on Santo Stefano, 26 December
- New Year’s Eve dinner with a toast at midnight
- Lunch on Epiphany, 6 January
