Unforgettable Registry Gifts: Private Chef for a Day

Posted by Adam Warner on Oct 28, 2013

This week we're highlighting an exciting registry gift idea that's perfect for foodie couples and newlyweds in search of a romantic and memorable post-wedding experience.

Whether you prefer farm-to-table cuisine or perhaps a seasonal meal paired with decadent wines, a personal chef can create a custom menu that's specifically tailored towards your culinary desires. From molecular gastronomy to gluten-free, the options are practically endless.

Typically, after an initial consultation, your private chef will then plan the final menu, shop for the ingredients, and then prepare the meal right in your kitchen. Meanwhile, you'll get to sit back, relax, and enjoy the evening with the one you love.

In terms of top options for your personal registry, we're quite fond of Kitchensurfing, a private chef service that matches you with local chefs based on budget, cuisine, and menu preferences. For instance, a featured "Taste of Fall" dinner for two included apple and arugula salad, Long Island duck breast, and apple & cinnamon sugar cake. The company currently serves New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston.

Also, check out Kitchit Private Chefs (with four U.S. locations) and Remarkable Palate in New York for two more highly-regarded companies.
