Highly recommend Chef Shane

Chef Shane came to our house to fix a special meal for our family and it was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed every course of delicious and delightful food. Shane was a delight to have in the kitchen. He cleaned up everything and made us feel like we knew him for years.

Highlight of our celebration–delicious, memorable and a joy!

I am thrilled that we had Chef Shane out during our girls’ weekend. We were looking to have a dinner that was more delicious and satisfying than ordering catered food or going out to a restaurant, and Chef Shane delivered. He was an consummate professional and super communicative every step of the way–he texted me questions about our dietary requirements, gave suggestions about the menu and even sent a very helpful breakdown of which wines to get for each of his courses. You could tell that he really put his heart and soul into the food he made…he was so prepared, so eager to share his love of food with us and a perfect addition to our dinner party. Chef Shane produced an experience that our heart (and palates!) will never forget, and I will absolutely request his culinary services next time we need a talented and savvy chef.

About

Chef Shane

It would be an honor and pleasure to cook for you! I’ve been serving up indulgent nourishment in the form of varied and delicious global cuisines to clients for years. Prior to being a private chef, I gained culinary experience in several restaurants, including solo-operating an elegant buffet and working my way up the ladder in a fine-dining restaurant. I graduated top of my class in culinary school by demonstrating my commitment to perfection. Cooking and teaching are my passions. I’m an enthusiastic culinarian, eager to share tips and tricks, and feel at home cooking for guests. With level 4 certification from the Vegan Fusion Academy, plant-forward cuisine is one of my strengths, though I’m comfortable cooking for any diet. Furthermore, I spend just about all of my free time researching and cooking food from countries I’m not familiar with, which has led me to build an extensive repertoire of knowledge and experience with global cuisines. I can’t wait to get to know you, serve up creative & delicious dishes of your choosing, and create an outstanding, care-free experience for you!

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
