A complete restaurant experience at home
From shopping on the island that morning to a spotless kitchen at the end of the night: all you do is sit down at the table. Petra plans the menu with you, buys the ingredients, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course at your pace and cleans up afterwards. Drinks are not included, but she is happy to advise on a wine pairing. A deposit confirms the date; prices are in US dollars.
Villa dinners, celebrations and yacht charters
Book Petra for a single villa dinner, a birthday, anniversary or family celebration, as chef for your whole stay, or on board your yacht or day charter. She brings her own knives and pans and only needs a working stove, a fridge and a sink.
Bespoke menus, allergies and dietary needs
Tell Petra who is coming, what you love and what you would rather avoid, and she sends you a menu proposal within a day or two. Bespoke is the way to go for tasting menus of five courses or more, themed evenings and larger groups. Gluten-free, dairy-free, nut allergies, vegetarian, pescatarian, medical diets and children's plates are all normal requests: mention them when you book and the menu is written around them.
