Allergies & Dietary Restrictions

Yes, many Food Fire + Knives private chefs can adjust menus for common food allergies, including peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, soy, and shellfish. Just share your specific allergies when planning your event. Your chef can review ingredients and discuss possible substitutions. Accommodations depend on the chef and the precautions your guests require.

Our private chefs can discuss steps to reduce allergen cross contact, such as checking ingredients, cleaning preparation surfaces, and using separate utensils or cookware when appropriate. If you or a guest has a serious food allergy, discuss your exact requirements with the chef before booking. No shared kitchen can automatically be assumed allergen free.

You can request a menu that excludes specific allergens, such as dairy, peanuts, wheat, or shellfish. Your chef can explain which ingredients and substitutions may work. However, avoiding an ingredient does not guarantee that a meal is completely free from traces of an allergen. Always confirm preparation conditions, especially for severe allergies.

You can message your Food Fire + Knives chef before booking to discuss ingredients, food allergies, and special dietary requests. This helps you understand whether the chef can accommodate your needs before moving forward. Once booked, you can continue communicating with your chef to finalize your menu and event details.

Absolutely! Food Fire + Knives offers customizable à la carte menus, so you can choose dishes that work for your group. Whether you need gluten free, dairy free, vegan, vegetarian, or low carb options, you can discuss changes with your chef. You can also mention multiple dietary requirements in your booking's Special Instructions.
