In-Home Consultation
Here, a non-refundable in-home consultation charge of 30.000 (thirty thousand naira) commitment fee of which 50% is all inclusive in the total chef/cook hire fee, is required to have us book at least 2 available representatives for you to make your selection and also schedule a cooking test (optional). On your chosen date of consultation, a representative will be available at your home to consult with you about your choice of cuisine and take note of what to avoid/dislikes of each member of the family. The Kitchen and appliances available (e.g., oven) will be checked as well to help us come up with a suitable menu and access the general work condition of the kitchen.
