Menus can be adapted according to allergies and intolerances at the time of booking.

For young children I can offer them what they like the most and according to their food preferences. Macaroni, grilled fish, breaded meat, sirloin steak, rice with tomato…
The price of the ration will be added to the cost of the budget.

The menus do not include wines, usually the family buys the wines directly from the wine store or winery they trust. If I want to include wines on the menu, I have a short list of wines produced by local wineries and people.
You can also extend the experience with a wine pairing, in charge of my collaborating sommeliers of the DO Empordà.

To formalize the reservation, half of the total amount must be paid by bank transfer. The rest is paid 5 days before the meal.

The home chef service for up to 10 people costs 105€/hour (chef and assistant service), always counting two hours before the meal.
Example: 11am arrival – 1pm menu service – 4pm pick up, tidy and clean, recycle.
If the meal is for more than 10 people, extra staff will be hired and should be included in the budget.

For orders outside the Empordà, the round-trip costs are added to the invoice (the cost of the mileage, journey and hourly rate of the trip, the same rate as the chef’s service).

The price does not include crockery and kitchen utensils. It will be served with the same tableware of the house. If this is not available, the cost of renting the tooling company will be included in the quotation.

For long stays of daily contracting, simple and healthy menus can be customized to suit the client and the family.

Any questions or comments you may have about menus, logistics, prices… You can call me and the advantage of cooking everything personally and exclusively for you is precisely the ability to tailor the product and the experience. To meet your needs.

Thank you for your interest,
Iolanda Bustos
