bespoke private chef & catering

Private dining, your way

A menu written for you, cooked and served in your chalet

This is my most personal offering. Every menu starts from scratch, shaped around your group, the season and what you love to eat, then cooked in your holiday home and served course by course at your table.

I'm a plant-forward chef, menu developer and Nutritional Therapist, with almost ten years cooking privately on yachts, in chalets, and for cycling camps, hiking tours and yoga retreats across Europe. I cook for groups of up to 15 in Interlaken, Grindelwald and further afield.

Preferred chef

I'm a collaborative and preferred chef with GRIWA RENT in Grindelwald and Interlaken, and Wengen Apartments in Wengen.

I write your menu

A seasonal, Swiss-inspired menu designed around you, which we refine together until it feels just right.

Good to know

What's included in the price?

All groceries, menu planning, cooking and fully plated service, plus set-up and clean-down. Wine, canapés, a Swiss cheese platter or a celebration cake can be added.

Where do you cook?

In chalets and holiday homes in Interlaken, Grindelwald, Mürren and Wengen. Mürren and Wengen have a CHF 50 travel supplement.

How far ahead should I book?

As early as you can. Winter availability is limited, and private dinners can't be arranged at the last minute. I don't take bookings over Christmas and New Year.

How do payment and cancellation work?

A 50% deposit secures your date, and the remainder is due two weeks before your dinner. You can cancel for a full refund up to three weeks before.

What do you need from our kitchen?

Just a clean kitchen and an empty dishwasher. I bring everything else, arrive about an hour before we eat, and leave the kitchen as I found it.

Can you cook for dietary needs?

Yes. Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly menus are always welcome. Just tell me about everyone's needs when you enquire.
