A chef for your dinner party.
Michele designs the menu and cooks it on site — in your home, your villa or on a charter. Dinner parties, birthdays, anniversaries and engagements, served course by course, with the kitchen left as he found it.
Every occasion, cooked on site.
A dinner party for six, a birthday at home, a celebration on a boat — the menu is built around the occasion, and it is cooked in front of you rather than delivered in trays.
Intimate Dinner at Home
A multi-course tasting menu for 2 to 20 guests, cooked and served in your own kitchen.
Celebrations & Milestones
Birthdays, anniversaries, engagements — an unforgettable evening built around the moment.
Corporate Hosting
Client dinners, board entertaining and brand activations with restaurant-grade service.
Yacht & Villa Dining
Destination cooking aboard charters or at holiday villas across Sydney and beyond.
Three menus. Endless variations.
