It is one of Tanorria’s greatest joys to help others create delicious memories. The ultimate compliment is for her to reflect with a client, after a dinner party, and hear them realize that she took a big chunk of their stress away.

As a personal chef, Tanorria took an oath to give you a restaurant experience in your home. Together, you and Tanorria will consult on a custom menu that best fits your dinner party goals while ensuring ingredients are seasonal and fresh. When she arrives to your home she’s equipped with all of the necessary ingredients, equipment, and helping hands needed to pull off your dinner party. All you have to do is give her the keys to your clean kitchen and provide dinnerware and beverages for your guests.

Dishes can be served family style or plated. The experience is yours. Tanorria can stay behind the scenes and cook or interact with you and your guests while cooking. The menu is completely customizable. Three courses? Easy. How about six? No problem! You can have two guests 15, the choice is totally yours!

What does menu planning look like?

Together, you and Tanorria will come up with a custom menu for your event. She will ask for any dietary restrictions or absolute food dislikes for all of your guests prior to creating a menu.

Then you’ll narrow down a menu one-two weeks prior to the event. 

Headcount is due no later than one week before the event.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, Tanorria’s Table require a 25% deposit to secure the date you selected. 

Deposits are made online via Square.

Do you clean up?

Tanorria will clean up “her mess”. That means she return your kitchen back to the state it was presented to her. You're responsible for dinnerware, so that means you are responsible for cleaning it as well. If your dinnerware is dishwasher safe and you leave the dishwasher empty for her, she’s happy to load it. Tanorria proceeds with caution with dinnerware because she has quite a few guests pull out antique china and she refuses to break grandma’s plate that you have special memories from as a child.

Dinnerware can be rented for an additional cost.

Do you bring additional staff?

Tanorria brings her sous chef when she has dinner parties larger than six guests. They spend most of their time in the kitchen, which means you are usually responsible for clearing plates between courses and refilling beverages.

Full service staff including a server and bartender are available at an additional cost. 

Do you bring your own supplies or would you prefer to use ours? Or a mix?

Tanorria does all of the ingredient shopping and she brings her own equipment. She’s been a personal chef for five years and no matter how she make her lists and plan for a dinner party, she always forget something. That means she may go through your cupboards for a bowl or a spoon, but that’s usually the extent of what she’ll use of yours.

You are also responsible for beverages, as Tanorria’s Table does not hold a liquor license.

How early do you arrive?

It depends on you location and the menu/necessary prepwork, but typically one-two hours prior to your guests arrival.

How interactive/engaged are you with the guests?

That’s totally up to you! One of the benefits to doing what Tanorria does is interacting with guests. She can chat with you all while she’s cooking. One request, we ask that no one gets in the way of her kitchen dance. Tanorria usually presents each course as it’s being served and talk about it before you dig in. If you don’t want her to interact, she won’t. She cooks, serves you, feeds you, then leaves. That’s the beauty of Tanorria’s Table, everything is customizable to the memories you which to create!
