Why We Love it
Tell her what you cannot eat and she rebuilds the recipes around it — she is trained in nutrition, so a restriction shapes the menu instead of shrinking it.
The Experience
Three hours in a Florence kitchen with a private chef, cooking a Tuscan menu you chose yourself and then sitting down to eat it with the wine to match.
The chef cooks, but she also reads and travels — food history, what modern kitchens are doing now, a professional grounding in nutrition. Which is why the menu bends to you: pick from her list, customise it, or tell her what you can't eat and she'll rework the recipes around it. She is beside you for every step of the cooking.
Then you sit down and eat what you made, with wine poured alongside it. Every ingredient and all the wine are in the price. Only getting there is on you.
My pick for couples and pairs of friends who would rather cook dinner than book one, and for anyone travelling with a dietary restriction that usually limits where they can eat.
