Chef for the Day

• Wellness Retreats: High-vibration, nourishing meals designed to complement healing, movement, and mindfulness.
• Luxury Vacations: Transform your travel destination whether it is a beach house or a mountain villa into a private dining destination. 
• Intimate Home Immersions: Perfect for holidays, special celebrations, or simply a day of total pampering in your own kitchen.

Morning Your Way: Start the day with a flow that fits your pace. You can choose anything from a light and vibrant spread of fresh juices and fruit to a soulful and hearty Southern inspired breakfast.

Mid Day Refresh: This is a flexible lunch experience tailored to your schedule. You might prefer a light bistro style meal to keep the energy high or perhaps a beautifully styled grazing display for guests to enjoy at their leisure.

The Evening Celebration: You set the tone for the finale because the evening is designed around your personal preference. You may choose the intimacy of a multi-course plated dinner or the warmth of a family style feast or even the social atmosphere of an abundant display.

• Bespoke Menu Design: Every meal is built from scratch based on your specific cravings and dietary needs.
• Full Service Management: We handle the grocery shopping along with premium ingredient sourcing and table setting.
• Effortless Cleanup: Your kitchen is returned to its original state after every service so you are left only with the memories.

The Chef for the Day residency is a premium engagement offered with pricing starting at $1050 per day for a dedicated service window of up to fourteen hours. This investment secures your exclusive access to Chef Shan and covers the full spectrum of your culinary experience from bespoke menu curation and professional kitchen management to the high level preparation and service of every meal. Because we prioritize the finest and freshest selections the grocery costs are handled as a separate reimbursement to allow for total flexibility in your ingredient choices and menu complexity.
