Bringing a professional chef into your home allows you to enjoy an exclusive dinner with your partner or your friends\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking for a gourmet dinner prepared by a chef directly in the luxury of your own home? Now you can!
This is the latest trend in the catering industry: a professional chef<\/strong> in your very own home. The trend began in the U.S. about 20 years ago, and it has started to gain traction in Italy too, especially over the last few months.
The measures imposed due to COVID-19 have deeply affected our habits, making us rediscover the beauty of staying at home. One\u2019s home has always been perceived as a protective nest, but it is also a place to allow ourselves a few luxuries in the company of our friends. Because staying at home doesn\u2019t mean not being able to treat yourself. And what bigger treat that having a Michelin-star chef all for ourselves?<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\n\t

From gourmet food delivery to home restaurant delivery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We all know that gourmet food delivery<\/strong> has blown up during lockdown. Many Michelin-star restaurants have responded to the health emergency by taking their dishes to their clients\u2019 houses. This high-quality delivery service has been well-received. It has been so successful that it may continue even when the pandemic is a distant memory. Or at least, that\u2019s what many field experts foresee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal chefs<\/strong>, however, add an extra special touch. This represents the evolution of signature delivery food<\/strong>. A sort of restaurant home delivery<\/strong>, where it\u2019s not just food that is brought home, but the entire restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does a personal chef do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Personal chef services<\/strong> are not to be confused with catering services. A personal chef<\/strong> does not bring ready made dishes. He or she prepares dishes in the client\u2019s kitchen and takes care of every aspect of the meal: from buying the ingredients to delivering the food, setting the table to waiting the table and cleaning. It\u2019s a truly gourmet experience in which you can feel pampered and as if you were in a real Michelin-star restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\n\t

What\u2019s more, people who recruit a personal chef<\/strong> do so to surprise their partner or guests with something special and eat high-quality dishes in an intimate and relaxed environment. A space to exclusively share with your friends and a way to benefit from a more tailor-made kind of service. And not only for one evening. Because personal chefs<\/strong> can\u2019t only be seen at big events. Everyone can create a \u201cprivate restaurant\u201d in their own kitchen. Or, if the space allows, a second kitchen dedicated solely to dinners with friends, prepared by a chef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A personal chef for an outdoor dinner.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many people choose to install a second kitchen outdoors. We\u2019re not talking about those good-old brick-walled kitchens with chimneys and barbecues. Today, the more modern outdoor kitchens<\/strong><\/a> are every bit as good as traditional kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\n\t

What\u2019s more, they can be kept outdoor all year round as they are resistant to adverse weather conditions, UV rays and the cold. If the outdoor kitchens are to be installed near the sea or a poolside, they can be made with special 316 AISI stainless steel. This is a special metal alloy which is highly resistant to chlorine and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A chef-approved kitchen for domestic use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People who decide to enlist the services of a personal chef<\/strong> need to give chefs the freedom they need to express their creativity. How? By providing them with a state-of-the-art kitchen. The best case scenario would be a professional-type kitchen<\/strong><\/a>, which guarantees the chef the same performance levels offered by a professional kitchen, but which is purposely designed for domestic environments both in terms of size (albeit more compact than restaurant kitchens) and in terms of design.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\t

Allowing a great chef to cook in a low-performance kitchen means limiting his or her possibilities. It\u2019s a bit like a Formula 1 driver driving an economy car\u2026
We know all too well: the art of cooking needs to be given the best possible conditions to express itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maximum attention to hygiene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If guaranteeing the best hygiene conditions in the kitchen<\/strong><\/a> is of paramount importance in a restaurant, this is also the case at home. Particularly when you have guests over for dinner. Kitchens need to be made with hygienic materials which are practical to clean, such as stainless steel. Stainless steel is an antibacterial metal alloy which is biologically neutral; it comes as no surprise that it\u2019s used in professional catering.<\/p>\n\n\n
