If you want delicious, restaurant grade food Elisa is the person to go to. I don’t think you could get what she made in a restaurant, it was so good! She arrived with everything she needed and was so organised in advance. She always replied fast and I felt I could trust her from the beginning. She is one talented professional chef. The food was mouth watering. I can’t wait to have Elisa back!

Private chef for birthday lunch 12/4

$750

Malabar NSW 2036, Australia

3rd Apr 2025

Seeking private chef (& optional waitress) for a 10-15 person, 3-course lunch on Saturday 14 April, roughly 12pm till 6pm. Happy to change menu based on your strengths. However, our original thoughts is a “simple” Italian / Mediterranean style meal: - a little snack upon arrival, some olives, bruschetta, bread and charcuterie - an entree like a light soup - 3-4x various quality pasta, 2-3x salads (like a burrata and tomato salad, garden salad, etc) - 3-4x cakes which we’ll likely pre-order somewhere. Cocktails like margaritas, espresso martini’s are optional too. We will have the alcohol and cocktail ingredients available. We should discuss a rate for your labour ($100 p/h) and discuss who does the shopping ($500-750)? We’re also open to have your help with the table decoration/set-up (cutlery, plates and linen).

Chef required to cook protein for lunch - mediterranean grilled chicken, 2 whole fish (1 salt baked the other grilled on BBQ) for 40 people. I will marinate and prepare the protein - I just need the chef to cook them on the BBQ

It was a joy having chef Stanley cook our Xmas lunch for 40 guests. The main meal was cooked perfectly and everyone commented how delicious the salmon and chicken was. Having chef Stanley help with the lunch gave me the opportunity to actually spend time with our guests. Thank you and I will certainly keep chef Stanley in mind for future events.
