The concept of Your Private Chef

 

The concept of Your Private Chef is simple: Mark Endlich creates a refined culinary experience in an intimate and comfortable setting. Guests can enjoy an exclusive fine dining experience in their own home, office, holiday residence, or any desired location, without spending hours in the kitchen themselves. This allows all attention to remain fully focused on the guests.

 

This way of dining is more personal and intimate than visiting a restaurant, with the added benefit of enjoying the evening at a relaxed pace, without any time pressure.

 

Your Private Chef offers private dining experiences for groups of 2 to 12 guests, including:

 

– Private dinner
– Private lunch
– Tasting dinner or lunch
– Sharing dinner
– Walking dinner*
– Tapas*
– Corporate drinks including finger food*

 

* Also available for groups larger than 12 guests

Introduction & preparation

 

Following an enquiry, a personal introduction meeting is arranged on location. During this meeting, all wishes and possibilities are discussed in detail, including the number of guests, any allergies or dietary requirements, as well as specific preferences or ingredients to include or avoid.

 

The available kitchen facilities are also assessed to determine whether any additional equipment may be required, such as an oven, kitchen appliances or other cooking essentials.

 

A refined culinary experience naturally includes an elegantly set table and a carefully selected wine pairing. If desired, this can be fully arranged, including advice on tableware, glassware, cutlery, table linen and matching wines. Of course, guests are also welcome to arrange this themselves.

 

Based on all preferences and the number of guests, a personalised menu proposal and tailored quotation are prepared. This is followed by a clear and detailed confirmation, including all practical arrangements.

 

Ingredients & quality

 

Mark Endlich works exclusively with fresh, seasonal ingredients, and whenever possible, organic and locally sourced products from specialised suppliers.

The day of the dinner

 

On the day itself, Mark Endlich arrives at the location in the afternoon, together with service staff, to begin the preparations (mise en place).

 

Depending on the arrangements, the table is elegantly set with carefully selected tableware, glassware and decoration. If desired, the full styling can be arranged, including tables, chairs and overall presentation.

When using the guest’s own materials, these are thoughtfully integrated into the overall setting.

 

All dishes are prepared on site in the kitchen. From four guests onwards, service staff is always present. The level of service is fully tailored to preference, whether discreetly in the background or with detailed explanations of the dishes and ingredients.

 

After the experience, the kitchen is left spotless, including all cleaning and washing up.

 

The entire concept is designed to ensure that guests can fully relax and enjoy a complete and refined culinary experience, without any concerns.
