Frequently asked questions
We know that inviting someone to cook in your own kitchen is a big step. Here are the most common questions families ask, from pricing to our chefs.
Signature Events
What is a Signature Event?
A Signature Event is a one-off culinary experience for special occasions. A chef plans and cooks a personalised menu for you and your guests, tailored to the occasion, your taste, and the setting.
Signature Events are ideal for celebrations, private dinners, birthdays, or special evenings where great food takes centre stage.
What occasions are Signature Events suitable for?
Signature Events are perfect for private dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations with smaller or larger groups, and special occasions where you want to host without having to cook yourself.
The exact setup is planned individually with your chef.
How is the price for a Signature Event determined?
The price for a Signature Event is individually calculated by the chef, often on a per-person basis. It depends on factors such as the menu, number of guests, level of effort, and duration of the event.
Before booking, you receive a clear offer based on the event details and number of guests, so all services and costs are transparent.
Payment terms are communicated clearly as part of the booking and may vary depending on the event.
What is included in a Signature Event?
A Signature Event includes menu planning and the preparation of the dishes, with cooking taking place in your home or within the agreed setup. Depending on the offer, grocery shopping, preparation, and advance coordination may also be included.
The exact services are clearly described in the individual offer from each chef.
Can menus be customised?
Yes. Menus for Signature Events are planned individually. You can discuss preferences, dietary restrictions, and special ideas directly with your chef.
The chef tailors the menu to your occasion and your guests.
Are there additional services that can be added?
Yes. Depending on the chef and the event, additional services may be available, such as service staff, premium ingredients, extra courses, or an extended setup.
Optional extras are listed separately and can be added individually.
How far in advance should I book a Signature Event?
Signature Events should ideally be requested as early as possible to allow enough time for planning and coordination. Short-notice requests may also be possible, depending on the chef’s availability.
The earlier you enquire, the greater the flexibility and choice.
Changes and cancellations
What happens if I need to change or cancel an appointment?
If you need to change or cancel an appointment, please inform Kochdaheim as early as possible. We’ll coordinate the change with the chef and take care of the next steps.
This ensures that everyone involved is informed in time and that a suitable solution can be found.
What rules apply to weekly cooking plans?
Weekly cooking plans start with a trial week and then continue as a monthly booking. The plan can be ended with one week’s notice before the end of the current month.
Any changes or pauses are communicated transparently as part of the booking and agreed together.
What happens if the chef has to cancel at short notice?
If a chef is unexpectedly unavailable, Kochdaheim will inform you immediately. Together, we’ll look for a suitable solution, such as a replacement date or an alternative arrangement.
Kochdaheim handles the coordination and actively supports finding a solution.
What happens in unforeseen situations?
In unforeseen situations, we focus on open communication and pragmatic solutions. The goal is to find a fair outcome that takes everyone’s situation into account.
Kochdaheim supports the process throughout.
What applies when cancelling a Signature Event?
Signature Events have separate cancellation terms. Since ingredients are purchased in advance and the chef reserves the date exclusively for you, last minute cancellations may not always be free of charge.
Depending on when the cancellation takes place, already incurred costs, such as ingredients or preparation, may apply. The exact cancellation terms are shared transparently before booking and are part of the offer.
