1. Can I customize the menu?
Absolutely! All our menus are fully a la carte. Once you’ve decided on a chef, you’ll see a list of all the dishes they offer and you can choose the ones you’d like for your event.
2. How is your service priced?
You pay a fixed price per guest based on your menu, plus a small, all-inclusive booking fee to our platform. You’ll be able to see exactly what you’re paying when you make a booking. No hidden costs, ever.
3. How many guests can I invite?
As many as you like! Although for events with over 30 people, we ask that you reach out to us to make an event inquiry.
4. My group has multiple dietary restrictions
That’s absolutely fine! When finalizing your menu, please mention these under ‘Special Instructions.’ For instance, you can specify that you’d like to accommodate one vegan guest and one gluten-free guest for your at-home catering and your private chef will prepare suitable dish variants for those guests.
5. Can I make changes to the menu or guest list?
Yes! You can make any changes to your booking. You can even cancel it up to a week before your event, and you’ll receive a refund.
6. Is my event insured?
Yes, it is. Our service includes full insurance for your private chef in case of any mishaps.
7. How are the Chefs chosen?
Each chef is fully vetted. We require at minimum one year of sous chef experience. Your chef has gone through an FCRA compliant background check and multiple interviews before joining our platform.
8. What is FFKs cancellation and refund policy?
We take pre-payment to secure your chef and simplify our service. No fumbling with payments after your event or dealing with multiple payments in different stages of the process. Much like our service, our return policy is simple and meant to protect you, our hosts and our amazing Chefs.
*Please note all refunds are less processing and booking fees

“The quality of the food was amazing, very fresh, locally sourced, on par with any 1-2 star Michelin venue. Plus, the chefs were SO nice and engaging, eager to teach our family about cooking and the area. Also note that their prices are significantly better than other competitor personal chefs. I HIGHLY recommend!!!”
