Intimate dinner party – a turnkey option

Do you love to host, have a space, but don't want to cook?

Imagine hosting a dinner party where your only responsibility is enjoying a fantastic meal in the company of your guests. With shopping, cooking, serving, and cleanup meticulously planned and executed by an experienced personal chef.

We have several private chefs who are partnering with Friends with Forks to make your vision come to life!

Chef Katie Cellucci (Mangia Kitchen) has over15 years professional experience in the culinary arts and has worked with us already.

A Note From Chef Katie Cellucci
My whole world has always centered around food.

It's something we need, but every meal should be something we want. There are few feelings that compare to seeing someone take their first bite; the joy, surprise, comfort, delight, satisfaction - it gives me satisfaction every time.

Chef Katie Cellucci graduated from South Shore Vocational Technical High School in 2009 after completing a four year culinary program. She continued her education at Johnson and Wales, receiving her Associates in Culinary Arts & Science.

Chef Eva. ย Eva is the chef and owner of Spoondrift Kitchen, a personal chef service based in Portland, Maine. She uses food as a vessel to create community and ritual in our lives. Her cooking highlights ingredients that are locally sourced and shine in their simplicity.

Eva cooks as a way to tell stories -- inspired by her many travels, ancestors, the farmers who grow the ingredients. Join Eva at the table for a collective experience that nourishes, inspires, and connects.

How it works:

  • You pick the date and theme
