Why choose Dineindulge?
What makes Dineindulge completely unique is that we’re not a marketplace offering the services of others instead, whether you’re booking in London, Paris or Rome, you are booking a Dineindulge menu cooked & created by a Dineindulge private chef.
And it’s our private chefs that make Dineindulge special. Whilst the menus are designed by us and our dedicated events team take care of all the event details for you, it’s the creativity and brilliance of our private chefs that make the Dineindulge experience what it is.
We believe that the purest form of cheffing is being able to cook a dish from its raw ingredients and personally present that dish to the individual you want to share it with. As such, we therefore believe that the ultimate food experience is to be able to observe a chef create a dish and serve that dish, unfiltered, to you for your enjoyment.
Only a private chef experience presents this challenge for a chef and this occasion for a client.
Dineindulge provides the setting that brings together the best chefs with those individuals looking for the ultimate food experience.
We’ve achieved this by building a platform which takes care of the admin, designing menus to a structure that is proven to work and that our clients love, so our chefs can focus solely on the artistry of bringing those menus to life using their creativity, experience and individual personality in an intimate format like no other.
So whether you are an individual, or party, searching for a special food experience or a chef seeking to fulfil that creative desire to showcase your profession in the purest of formats, please get in contact with us.
Who are our private chefs?
One of the most common questions we get asked is “Who are our private chefs?” and this is a question we love to talk about. Private chefs are some of the most talented and admired chefs in the industry because of the vast array of skills they must display and the high level to which they must achieve in each of these skill areas.
The status of being a private chef is also greatly desired, so with no shortage of applications, our recruitment team’s job is able to select the strongest candidates based on skill set, attitude and ability and create an environment for these chefs to flourish.
Our dedicated chef relations team then carefully pick through all flagged candidates and begin the detailed process of taking a chef from a name on an application to a chef capable of delivering a 10 Course Beyond Tasting menu for a Dineindulge party in their own home.
With this strict recruitment process for all our chefs, we demand the highest of standards and as such our team of private chefs are the most qualified and professional chefs to be found anywhere. They take great pride in what they do allowing us to create the same level of service for every client.
