Chef Amanda Grace (CAG) will arrive at the appointed venue with the necessary ingredients required to create this dining experience for you and you guests. For quality control purposes, CAG asks that all client/chef correspondence be in writing via email. Planning, correspondence, local travel fees and the sourcing of ingredients are included in the client’s quoted day-rate. Additional travel expenses may be incurred depending upon the timings and location of the event.

Chef Amanda Grace will create a dining experience specifically for your event. There will be plenty of food on offer and your guests will be well-fed and their senses delighted. It will be interesting and stimulating and enjoyable and fun. The final menu will be made up of one of the set menus available, unless the client chooses to opt for a bespoke menu creation option, available for an additional $444, in which case the menu will be available for approval prior to the event. Everything could be subject to changes due to produce availability. Beverages of any kind are not included and their provision or handling are not part of the experience nor the responsibility of CAG. Clients are asked to make sure they have a plan in place for the handling of any glassware and/or beverages. Any guests with allergies or specific dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian, GF, DF) will be factored in and provided for. All serious allergies and dietary requirements must be received in writing at time of booking, or at least two weeks in advance of the event.

CAG will promptly arrive to your home or venue on the agreed-upon dates and will require full access to the cooking area for the agreed-upon hours. Please make sure the cooking area is 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.

If the originally scheduled hour which the client has selected for the meal to be served is pushed back and CAG is informed that the client would now like to eat later than originally agreed, overtime will be automatically added, and billed hourly, at the respective hourly portion of the original rate quoted. For example, a $3000 dinner would be $375 per hour overtime. 3000 divided by 8 = 375.

CAG is only generally available during business hours, Tuesday to Friday 9am -5pm PDT, and will aim to get back to you as promptly as possible during those hours, 24-48 hours wherever possible. CAG thanks you for your patience and asks that you do not call or text outside of these hours where possible and please use email for any non urgent correspondence. Please give as much advanced notice as possible when planning your event. Any inquires outside of these hours and events which require an accelerated turnaround for the event may incur additional charges for increased urgency.

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. Once the deposit is made the headcount may not be reduced, but you may add additional diners up until 72 hours before the scheduled event.

If the client needs to reschedule the date of the event last minute, outside of the usual cancellation terms due to illness, CAG will do her best to work with the client to attempt to schedule a new mutually convenient date for your event once the client has made a full recovery. In the event a new date is not possible or cannot be agreed upon and is not scheduled, the 50% deposit is fully non-refundable.

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 everything being served, and that there are adequate garbage/ recycling bins and bags available for waste disposal. 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.

A non-refundable 50% deposit of the total billable amount must be made to secure the dates. An invoice will be sent via email on or just after the service date for the remaining balance and become due immediately upon completion of the job. 15 days after the service date, a late-fee of 10% of the invoice will be added to the outstanding bill along with a credit card processing fee of an additional 3% of the invoice. Cash or check paid in person on the service date is preferred. Final payment may also be made through the booking form.

This booking form will accept Paypal or any major credit card credit card.
