Private Chef - Vibrant Italian Specialties

Explore four vegetarian dishes inspired by signature Italian ingredients with Chef Ekta.

This elegant private chef experience features a handful of decadent recipes well-loved in Italy. Begin with crusty bread topped with pears, walnuts and brown butter ricotta, and a crisp Caesar salad. For the main course, choose from risotto starring seasonal produce, like asparagus or wild mushrooms, or homemade pasta dressed in a silky cream and butter sauce. Chef Ekta will serve a classic dessert of panna cotta or olive oil cake for dessert.

Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to accompany the menu, and may request pairing recommendations from the chef upon booking.

Chef Etka was a lovely host and educator! My partner and I throughly enjoyed the entire experience from beginning to end! The food tasted great— and she also had us gauge the flavor of the food— tasting at various intervals of the cooking process to ensure it was to our liking. She explained that it’s more intuitive to taste the food and adjust your salt/spice versus following a recipe in a strict fashion. Chef Etka has a calm presence and creates a safe and fun learning environment. Highly recommend! We left with a recipe booklet of the dishes we cooked that evening as well.
