About Le Private Chef
Le Private Chef is a family business run by French chef Vincent Chagnaud and his sister Héloïse, who cook French-inspired food with influences picked up from the many cuisines of Sydney. Vincent learned his craft in Michelin-starred restaurants in France before settling in Sydney and working as a private chef, and he also holds a nutrition certification, which helps when guests arrive with dietary needs. For parties, the pair offer two ways in. The online catering store sells ready-to-serve platters and boxes for delivery, including finger sandwiches, wraps, mini croissants, savoury and sweet canapés, grazing boards and petite desserts such as lemon meringue tarts and macarons. For something larger, their event catering covers cocktail-style canapé receptions, standing buffets and food stations, share platters, gourmet BBQs with a French twist and multi-course sit-down dinners, with packages that can take in drinks, cutlery and dining equipment. They cater birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and Christmas in July gatherings, boat and yacht parties, corporate functions and weddings, and send a detailed quote within about a day of an enquiry. Hosts wanting a smaller, more personal night can book the private chef service instead. Vincent designs the menu with you, choosing from French, Italian and Japanese experience menus or a bespoke one, then cooks in your kitchen, serves and cleans down afterwards. The same menus can also be delivered ready to reheat.
