Private Chef Services
Your Private Chef Experience
My private chef service is about food, culture and a relaxed experience around the table.
From menu planning and grocery shopping to preparation, cooking, serving and cleaning, I take care of the food so you can simply enjoy your time together.
Four Shores · One Table
More Than a Meal
When I present the dishes, I like to share small stories about the ingredients, the cultures behind them and myFour Shores · One Table concept.
Just enough to give you a little understanding of what you are tasting, with a touch of interaction and hopefully a laugh or two.
I keep it light and natural, giving you plenty of space to enjoy your evening.
Before I Arrive
A Few Simple Preparations
A few simple preparations before I arrive help me put all my attention into the cooking.
Kitchen & Fridge
A clean, organised kitchen with clear counter space makes everything easier. A considerable amount of fridge space is important so I can keep fresh ingredients properly chilled and organised.
Please also check that the oven is working properly before the dinner.
Kitchen & Tableware
Before checking in, I recommend asking the rental property to double-check that everything is clean, complete and ready to use, with enough plates, large serving dishes, cutlery, glasses and cooking equipment for everyone.
A clear counter, empty bins and an empty dishwasher make my work much smoother.
The kitchen is my office for the day. Give me a good space to create, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Table Service
Relaxed & Informal
If you would like dedicated waiter service, this can be arranged directly by the guests as a separate service.
Many guests on holiday simply enjoy looking after the table themselves, clearing plates and sharing the evening together. My focus stays on the cooking, the preparation and bringing each dish to the table at its best.
Drinks
Wine Pairings & More
Drinks are not included in the chef service. I’m happy to recommend wine pairings for the menu, as well as non-alcoholic options.
Drinks can then be purchased separately.
Optional Extras
Little Details That Make a Difference
Flowers for the Table
A beautiful floral arrangement can add the final touch. I can arrange something simple and elegant according to the size of your table.
Usually €25–€65 depending on the arrangement.
As we say in my homeland, Jordan, “the eye eats before the mouth.” I like the table to look as good as the food tastes.
Birthday Cake
Happy to arrange one if you are celebrating. This is an additional cost and will be confirmed separately.
Flowers and birthday cakes are not included in the chef service price and are paid separately.
The ByHenrique Experience
Food, Culture & A Memorable Table
Being a chef is not simply a job for me. It is my ultimate passion, and somehow that passion led me to become a private chef and host.
Let me bring joy and create a memorable experience for you.
