A plated fine-dining course

Private chef at home

A restaurant evening, at your own table.

Hire a private chef for birthdays, anniversaries and evenings that deserve something exceptional — at home, at your cabin or at your venue in Vestfold, Oslo and across Norway.

Personal, from the first message.

Private dining is the most personal thing I do. I cook in your home, cabin or chosen venue, and every menu is written for the people around the table.

I bring the ingredients, prepare and serve each course, and leave your kitchen in order. You stay at the table with your guests.

Occasions I cook for

  • Fine dining at home

    A restaurant-level tasting menu at your own table, with nothing for you to do but enjoy it.

  • Birthdays

    A milestone marked with a menu built around the person you're celebrating.

  • Anniversaries

    An intimate dinner for two, or a gathering of the people who've been there along the way.

  • Family celebrations

    Confirmations, reunions and holidays, cooked so the hosts can sit down too.

  • Exclusive private dinners

    A discreet evening for guests who expect the very best.

  • Cabins, retreats and destinations

    Private dining at your cabin, a retreat venue or a special place in Norway or elsewhere in Europe, where possible.

Designed around you

We begin with your occasion, your guests and the flavours you love. I suggest a menu, refine it with you, and plan every detail — from dietary needs to the timing of each course.

The style is contemporary: seasonal Nordic produce, European technique and international influences, presented with care.
