Who wouldn't like to have a Chef at home?

I'll use my cooking expertise to work together with you to make your culinary dreams come true!

Chef Sara Fitzpatrick conducts full-service in-home dinner parties, private event catering, cooking demonstrations, interactive cooking classes and private parties such as me teaching you and other friends how to roll sushi!

Chef Sara is here to elevate your culinary experience with attention to detail and a dining experience you can only get from this level of personal service. I serve outwards of a 50 mile radius of Starved Rock Country.

How it all works

Ever wanted to have a professional Chef at your fingertips to help build a great dinner? That’s why I’m here and this is how it all comes together.

Here's what you need to know:

1. Grab some friends and a date and decide whose house.

2. Contact me to reserve a date and we'll set up an appointment where I'll come to the house where the dinner will take place.

3. This is when we will go over menu choices, kitchen set up and logistics, including additional equipment and if additional staff is needed.

​4. What you’ll need from me is a dining space and set with plates, flatware and glasses. Then decide if you would like parings or just a signature drink with dinner. What time you would like dinner to be served? I would anticipate the dinner would take about three and a half hours. I will most likely arrive two hours before. I then shop, prep and store your ingredients.

5. You’re responsible for the food cost portion of the meal and labor for my services. I provide receipts of things purchased and am reimbursed the day of the event (you’re not responsible for the small things like sugar, oil, salt, pepper, flour etc.). My going rate is $100 an hour while I am working for you, that includes shop and prep time, in home cooking, serving, cleanup and storage. This is full dining experience, so no need to clean up I do everything for you.

Catering Services

From small dinner parties to large weddings, I offer delicious, unique dining experiences catered to your tastes.

Whether you'd like an in-home dinner, a grazing table, charcuterie board, or something else, I am happy to accommodate your needs.
