If you’d rather do the hosting, be that at home or another hired venue in the city, that’s also fine. All that’s required is a clean, functional kitchen and space for your group to work. As long as they’re in place, your chef will gladly come to you, bringing with them all of the ingredients plus any specialized equipment required to make your chosen menu.
