The art of hosting

Composing a Private Chef Menu Season by Season

A great private chef menu is not decided well in advance alone: it is composed season by season, in close touch with what is at hand right now.

The calendar

Following the calendar of produce

Asparagus and peas in spring, tomatoes and rock fish in summer, game and mushrooms in autumn, citrus and root vegetables in winter: every season sets its own palette. An attentive private chef builds the menu around what is at its peak, rather than forcing it out of season.

The rhythm

Balancing the flow of the meal

A successful menu owes as much to its rhythm as to its produce. A light starter, a more generous main, a dessert as counterpoint: the sequence should flow without saturating the palate. The chef adjusts portions and richness based on the number of guests and the time of day.

Listening

Thinking pairings and desires

The menu is built with you: preferences, dietary requirements, food and wine pairings. This listening is what turns a good meal into a bespoke moment. For inspiration, browse our Sélection of chefs and their respective culinary worlds.
