Cooking together as an experience. A cookery class or workshop for friends, family or as a special gift: informative, relaxed and always with something beautiful on the plate at the end.

Price on request
Weddings
A day you cannot do over. We cook on location, from the reception to the last course: drinks with bites, a served dinner or a walking dinner, in one continuous line. We build the menu together with you.
from €125 pp
Chef's table & molecular dining
A seat at the chef's table, with a view of what happens. Dishes finished in front of you, using techniques that take flavour and texture apart and build them back up. For small parties, because otherwise it is no longer a chef's table.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know
What does a private dinner or event cost?+
Every occasion is different, so we always work with a bespoke proposal. Tell us about the occasion, the number of guests and your budget indication. Then you will receive a clear, no-obligation quote.
Do I need a fully equipped kitchen?+
No. We agree in advance what is needed and bring whatever is missing. In most home kitchens we can work perfectly well.
Which region do you operate in?+
We work throughout 't Gooi, the Randstad and surrounding areas, and across the Netherlands on request. Let us know your location with your enquiry and we'll align the options with you.
How do you handle allergies and dietary requirements?+
We take these fully into account in the menu design. Let us know with your enquiry, and we will allow for them from the very first sketch.
How far in advance should I book?+
The earlier the better, especially around the holidays and at weekends. Working to a shorter timeframe? Feel free to ask, we are happy to think along.
What happens after I send my enquiry?+
We get in touch with you personally as soon as possible, align on the details and send a bespoke proposal. Only then do you decide.
How many guests do you cook for?+
From an intimate dinner for a small group to a larger celebration. Let us know the number of guests with your enquiry and we tailor the set-up and the menu to it.
How does payment work?+
Once a quote is confirmed, you receive a payment link for a 40% deposit of the total. This secures your date. The remaining balance is paid via a payment link five days before the event; for events settled afterwards, the final statement with a payment link follows. If you cancel, what you owe depends on the timing: up to 14 days before the event you pay nothing and we refund the deposit in full. After that it increases according to the scale in article 9.2 of our terms.
Tell us about your evening, and we take care of the rest.
