Seasonal & Specialty Menus
Menus crafted around the season, your story, and the ingredients that shine right now.
Each season brings new flavours, new ingredients, and new ways to bring joy to your table. These menus are crafted around what’s fresh, what you enjoy, and the kind of dining moment you want to create. Whether it’s a holiday, a special evening, or simply a desire for something a little extraordinary, this is where the chef’s creativity comes alive.

How it works
Step 1
Seasonal menu planning
We talk through your event, the flavours you love, dietary needs, and the feeling you want the meal to have. I design a seasonal menu inspired by what’s fresh and meaningful to you.
Step 2
Cooking in your home
On the day of your dinner, I arrive with the ingredients for your menu and prepare every dish fresh in your kitchen. You’re free to host, relax, or simply enjoy the process while the courses come together.
Step 3
Service and reset
Your dishes are presented beautifully, and your kitchen is left clean and calm when I head out. The evening ends softly, not with a mess to manage.
Investment
Seasonal menus begin at $350 per event.
Final pricing varies based on the occasion, number of dishes, and the style of menu we create together.
Select holiday dates may include an elevated service fee to reflect demand and the nature of the celebration. Any adjustments are always discussed transparently during your consultation.
