Why Hire A Private Chef? We’ll Show You!
Recently, I had the pleasure of curating a completely custom menu for a private dinner in Mantoloking, NJ, where Block & Rooster Provisions transformed the client’s home into a fine dining restaurant for the evening. This event was a perfect example of how hiring a personal chef can elevate any occasion by offering gourmet meals tailored to your specific tastes, all in the comfort of your home.
Amuse Bouche: Fig Brulé with Truffle Goat Cheese
We kicked off the evening with a delicate amuse bouche to excite the palate—a decadent Fig Brûlée with Truffle Goat Cheese. The figs were lightly caramelized, providing the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Paired with the earthy richness of the truffle-infused goat cheese, this dish set the stage for what was to come—a true testament to the elevated flavors you can expect when hiring a chef for your home.
Salad: Lemon Artichoke and Arugula Salad
For the first course, we created a bright and refreshing Lemon Artichoke and Arugula Salad. The crisp arugula paired with tender artichoke hearts and a zesty lemon vinaigrette brought a light, fresh start to the meal. The simple yet bold flavors were a hit, illustrating how a well-crafted salad can be just as luxurious as the rest of the menu.
Appetizer: Hummus Plate Appetizer
Next came a beautifully presented Hummus Plate Appetizer. With smooth, creamy hummus as the centerpiece, it was complemented by fresh vegetables and warm pita for dipping. Finished with a splash of olive oil and a sprinkle of Lemon zest. As an at-home chef for hire, our focus is always on creating comforting, shareable plates that feel both familiar and special.
Entree: Filet Mignon with Wild Mushroom Demi & Parmesan Cream Spinach
The main event was nothing short of extraordinary. Filet Mignon with Wild Mushroom Demi and Parmesan Cream Spinach delighted every guest at the table. The filet, cooked to perfection, was draped in a luxurious wild mushroom demi-glace, offering rich, umami-packed flavors. Paired with creamy, decadent Parmesan spinach, this course showcased the expertise and precision that only a personal chef can bring to your dinner party. The combination of textures and flavors left everyone craving more.
Dessert: Salted Caramel Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream and Pistachio Dust
We ended the evening with an indulgent Salted Caramel Brownie served alongside creamy vanilla ice cream, all topped with a light dusting of pistachios. The rich brownie, enhanced by the contrast of the salted caramel and the cool ice cream, created the perfect final bite. This dessert was a fitting end to an unforgettable meal, leaving guests in awe of the overall dining experience.
