A chef at your side, cooking together at your place
The chef comes to your home for a four-hands cooking session. We prepare two or three dishes, talk about what we eat, how and why, and you keep techniques to repeat.
How it works
Three steps to the apron
- You tell us what you fancy
Your kitchen, your habits, what you'd like to know how to make, dietary needs and allergies.
- You receive a proposal within 24 h
The dishes planned, the duration and the price, which the chef confirms with you. We fine-tune together.
- The chef arrives, we cook
The chef brings the essentials; we prepare, taste and talk. The kitchen is left clean.

Up to 4 people. Indicative price to be confirmed by the chef after your request.

Who this session is for →FAQ
The session, in five questions
How much does a “Chef at your side” session cost?
From €180 for 2 hours, up to 4 people. This price is indicative: the chef confirms it in their reply. For 3 or 4 hours, or for more than 4 people, the chef gives you the price in their reply.
What kind of kitchen do I need?
An ordinary kitchen is enough: a hob, an oven, a worktop. The chef tells you in advance what they bring and what they ask you to prepare.
Do I need to know how to cook, or to eat plant-based every day?
No. We start from what you like and what you already have at home. You come for the taste, and leave with simple techniques to repeat.
What about allergies, gluten-free, children?
You mention them in your request: the chef picks the dishes accordingly and confirms them with you before the date. Children are welcome at the stove.
What if I need to cancel?
More than 7 days before the date, you are refunded in full. Between 7 days and 72 h, 70%; under 72 h, half; under 24 h, the groceries are already bought and nothing is refunded. One free postponement is possible, once, more than 7 days ahead. The details are in our cancellation policy.
