Holiday Private Chef and Catering
Thanksgiving, Christmas week, Hanukkah and New Year's Eve. A private chef cooking in your kitchen from $150 a person. Full-service catering for a house full of people from $115 a person. A chef-made dinner dropped at your door from $100 a person, for Christmas and New Year's Eve. Every option is all-inclusive and quoted in writing within 24 hours. Thanksgiving is still booking, Christmas week goes by November 15, Hanukkah and New Year's Eve by December 1.
Five Weeks. Every Date Matters.
The measure of a good holiday is whether the host got to be there for it. A private chef is the difference between hosting Christmas and spending Christmas in the kitchen: menus set in advance, groceries handled, every course cooked and served on-site, and a clean kitchen at the end of the night.
We run single-night dinners and multi-day holiday weeks — the Christmas-to-New-Year's stretch in a ski house is our busiest booking of the year, and multiple chefs for one large gathering is normal for us, not an exception.
When the Dates Actually Go
How the calendar moves: we are still booking Thanksgiving, so ask about your date. Christmas week in the ski towns goes by November 15. Hanukkah and New Year's Eve go by December 1. We can book closer than that, and often do, but those are the dates that still have a choice of nights.
Late to it? Ask anyway. We hold short-notice capacity, and same-day service is a normal request for us. If the season's truly full, a gift card turns a missed December into a January dinner nobody has to cook.
