Carry new skills forward into life to impress while hosting, become more efficient at feeding the family, or bring the hottest dish to your next potluck.

- Fresh Mozzarella

- Pizza (typically outdoor)

Celebrating a special date like an anniversary or a birthday can be made more special by staying home and enjoying personalized service. Let’s plan a dream meal together with customized menu planning and ingredient sourcing. But don’t bother lifting a finger when you book a private dinner for up to four guests. Preparation and cooking are done right in your own home, or if you fancy a surprise gift (or have a time crunch) prep can be done off-site and delivered to set up and cook at mealtime.
Brunches, Lunches, and Dinners feature multiple courses of locally sourced, seasonal, and chef-driven dishes that aim to celebrate food alongside your special occasion. And typically, you won’t even need to use your own flatware, silverware, or stemware! The goal is to transport you and your party to your very own restaurant at home, and the aim is to provide value and an experience you should remember forever.

“There needs to be a rating higher than five stars, as this is what Chef Matt deserves. I hired Matt for a 5-course celebration dinner for our 25th wedding anniversary. From the moment that I first spoke with Matt I knew that it would be a special experience. His passion for cooking, his desire to make it a memorable night for us and his attention to every detail resulted in a night that we will truly cherish. We will definitely be using Matt again!”

“I booked Chef Matt for a private cookingon with my 8 year old niece. I was looking for something fun and different when she comes for her summer visit and Chef Matt did not disappoint! She had a blast and it will be something that she will bragging to her friends. Chef Matt was on time and set up the kitchen to ensure that it was an interactive experience for her. He came up with a very fun menu and understood what would work for a child. He was engaging, patient and explained everything thoroughly in a way that she could understand and was fun for her. As an educator, I truly appreciated that he took the time to make this an educational experience, explaining all the ingredients and how they worked together to make an entire meal. The meal was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed every single morsel. While we got to enjoy our meal, Chef Matt cleaned up the kitchen and left it in spotless. I highly highly recommend! Thank you Chef for the wonderful meal,on and for helping me create a wonderful meMory for my niece!”

“My husband surprised me for our 30th wedding anniversary with an at-home meal prepared by Chef Boffa. If I had the lifestyle to hire a chef on a regular basis, Chef Boffa would be it! The menu he prepared was unbelievable. From the salad to the handmade pasta to the perfectly cooked filet mignon to the incredibly delicious dessert, every single dish was AMAZING. I’ve never had a meal more delicious than the one Chef Boffa created for us. Each dish was prepared with the freshest and most in season items. Each dish was a perfect balance of flavors and textures. I was so incredibly satisfied with everything Chef Boffa prepared and I didn’t want the experience to end! On top of the excellent food, Chef Boffa was a pleasure to have in our home. He is professional and friendly and we truly enjoyed our conversation throughout the evening. We also didn’t have to lift a finger the entire evening and my kitchen was left cleaner than he found it! I’m including photos of the food he prepared for us (I dove right into the pasta before I took the picture and started cutting my filet before the photo so it’s not as perfect as it was presented!) Do not hesitate to choose Chef Boffa for any event you want to celebrate. I promise, you will be so happy you did.”
