Do you love the idea of entertaining, but hate the prospect of doing all the work? Does it seem like you never get to enjoy your own party? Let your own personal chef for the evening do all the work while you sit back with a cocktail and enjoy a truly memorable evening with friends or family.
Chef Mark Tafoya will come to your home with groceries in hand and prepare a special 4-course dinner for you and your guests. He'll even recommend wines to accompany your menu (if requested), and after preparing your meal he'll load the dishwasher.
Whether you're looking to relax with the family for a special occasion or entertaining guests, this is the ultimate way to enjoy a worry-free night of great food and great service.
You might think that your kitchen is too small for such a service. No need to worry! Chef Mark is an NYC personal chef and can work around any sized kitchen as long as it has a functioning stove and oven.
Choose menu selections from a variety of culinary styles from around the world including French, Italian, Spanish, Southwestern, Thai, Vietnamese, Persian, Japanese, Greek, Moroccan and many more. Chef Mark will consult with you to customize the menu to your liking, and can accommodate virtually any tastes you have.
So get ready for a night you and your guests won't soon forget filled with delicious foods, wine, and friends.
