Services and Prices
Pierre DeRagon Personal Chef Services will assist you in planning and organizing your dinner party event and will prepare and serve an elegant menu tailored to your specifications. My dinner party services include:
A pre-event meeting with you for menu planning and getting acquainted with your kitchen, your serving pieces and dinnerware
Menu development
Shopping for all groceries
Dinner preparation in your kitchen on the day of the event using your pots, pans and large and small appliances. I will supplement my own pots, pans and small appliances (food processor, mixer, etc.), as necessary
Serving hors d’oeuvres and dinner
Clean up – your kitchen, pots, pans, serving pieces and dinnerware will be left spotless; you, the host(s) will be responsible for putting them away
On the night of your dinner party your job is to enjoy yourself, your party and your guests.
You, the host(s), will be responsible for the purchase and serving of liquor and wine.
If we determine your serving pieces and dinnerware will not accommodate the number of people you wish to entertain, renting these essentials will be necessary. I will arrange the rental, the pick-up and return. You will be asked to pay a 50% rental deposit after a quote is received and you will be invoiced for the balance the day of the event. A rental pick-up and return fee of $50 will be charged, which is due the day of the event.
Pierre DeRagon Personal Chef Services dinner parties generally consist of the following elements but can be adapted to your needs:
Two hors d’oeuvres for cocktail hour prior to dinner
Starter
Salad or Soup
Entrée and one or two appropriate side dishes
Dessert
