Chef Amanda Grace (CAG) will create a custom-curated menu based on your specific needs to create a dining experience exclusively for your event. CAG will arrive at the appointed venue with the necessary ingredients required to create a unique dining experience for you and you guests. CAG will be drawing on her 14 years of experience as a healing, whole-foods chef, as well as inspiration from her recently released book, The Art of Cooking & Eating vol. 1; ‘Aphrodisiacs to Awaken the Sensory System’. For quality control purposes, CAG asks that the client/chef correspondence be in writing via email. Menu planning, correspondence, travel fees and the sourcing of ingredients are included in the client’s quoted day-rate.

Chef Amanda Grace will create a tasting menu and dining experience specifically for your event, inspired by the recipes in CAG new book. There will be aphrodisiac type food items which are designed to stimulate and awaken the sensory system. There will be plenty of food on offer and your guests will not be left hungry. It will be interesting and stimulating and enjoyable and fun. This will be a set menu of chef’s choosing and discernment and will not be available for viewing prior to the event, though some sample items may be available for review upon request. Beverages of any kind are not included and are not part of the experience. Any guests with allergies or specific dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian, GF, DF) will be factored in and provided for. All dietary requirements must be received in writing at time of booking, or at least two weeks in advance of the event.

Chef Amanda Grace promises to do her upmost to use primarily whole foods only, best available, organic and locally grown wherever possible, to avoid seed oils, highly processed foods, food dyes, preservatives, synthetic sweeteners, highly refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup, bleached, bromated enriched flour and grain products, anything unnaturally coloured or modified, GMOs, chemicals, or anything unpronounceable or which she suspects or is knowingly aware could have an adverse effect on the health of humans.

CAG will promptly arrive to your home or venue at the agreed-upon time on the agreed-upon date(s) and will need full access to the cooking area for the agreed-upon hours. Please make sure the cooking area accessible and clean on the scheduled cook-date. If for some reason, CAG cannot access the venue you will be charged as a last-minute cancellation and will be expected to reimburse for the cost of any ingredients purchased. Clients, children, pets and other distractions should be out of the kitchen area on the scheduled date. We respectfully request that the client allow CAG the time and space to create without interruption. 

A nonrefundable deposit of 50% of the billable amount of the total job must be made to secure the date. This amount is nonrefundable except in the unlikely event CAG must cancel your date. Please provide at least two weeks of advanced notice if you choose to reschedule a date. If you fail to give proper notice to your chef, the full rate of the total job will be invoiced to you on the cancelled date.

CAG takes great pride in her work and promises to respect you, your home or selected venue, and any equipment. CAG will leave her workspace as clean as she found it, remove any personal equipment, and put away or dispose of any leftovers. Please make sure the kitchen area is clean and ready for CAG on the scheduled date, that there are adequate cooking and food storage facilities, prep areas, lighting, tables, chairs, table linens, glassware, serving dishes, tableware, serving utensils, plates, cutlery, etc. for all of the dishes being served, and that there are adequate garbage/ recycling bins and bags available for waste disposal.

A list can be made available of all the necessary equipment. A rental company who may be able to supply all of the equipment may be able to be recommended.

The provision and set up of any and all of the above is not included in the service agreement and must be provided and maintained by the client or additional staff hired by the client. If the kitchen and equipment provided does not meet basic health code standards (i.e. no running water, no electricity, no provision of necessary equipment, etc...) CAG will prepare what she can, you will be charged the full day-rate. CAG will make sure that the kitchen and any area she used will be returned to how she found it, maintenance of the equipment listed above not included. Please make the necessary arrangements to make sure that additional staff is available for the provision, set-up, service, breakdown and cleaning of any of the equipment listed above, as that is not included in the service agreement.

Your menu will be created fresh on the premises, and any leftovers, if remaining, will be packaged for your convenience. CAG is not to be held liable if you choose to ignore common food safety practices by not storing, defrosting, reheating, or using proper sanitation with regards to any leftovers. While every effort will be made to adhere to every dietary requirement, as food will be made in a kitchen which potential allergens exist, CAG cannot absolutely guarantee allergen-free meals. Any and all food allergies, dietary restrictions, food aversions must be shared with CAG at the time of booking. Every effort will be made, and CAG will accept no liability for anything.

Offerings are bespoke and start at around $5,000.
