Perfect for any special occasion

Chef Andrea was so amazing, and based on the group’s feedback the food was also super delicious. Fresh ingredients, a wonderful meal cooked to perfection, tons of full bellies. I look forward to working with Chef Andrea again and can’t wait to refer her to my friends!

Incredible!

Chef Andrea is incredible! She is so kind and professional and her food is absolutely delicious! She made my Mom’s 70th birthday dinner so special! Every course was carefully curated and cooked with love. She was organized and clean and everything you would want in a private chef! Thank you so much!

Amazing!!

I would like to give a huge Thank You to Food Fire + Knives and Chef Andrea for coming out and catering for my birthday!  First of all, the raw veggies were beautiful and I just knew that the food would be top quality.  All of the dishes were amazing! Although out of the 8 of us that dined, only two of us were Vegan, I can honestly say that EVERYONE loved the food.  There was no food left behind.  I was happy that my wife doesn’t eat much, so I did have the opportunity to take her entree home and have for dinner the following night.  I would definitely recommend them and absolutely love to have them cater for me again.

She was professional, engaging and entertaining to watch while she and her souse chef prepared our meal. And as promised my kitchen was cleaner than when they started!

Our Top FAQs

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.

  • One week or more before your event we guarantee your refund.
  • During the week of your event we offer a 50% refund.
  • We will not be able to refund within 48 hours of your event. At this point your chef has not been available for other parties and has already planned for your event. *Please note all refunds are less processing and booking fees
