Chef Deniz

The Chef Deniz Experience

Big Sunday dinner at the office.

A long table, fresh pasta made by hand, and colleagues passing plates to one another. I bring the kitchen to your office, or to your home, and turn an ordinary day into a family dinner.

Everything is cooked on induction. No gas, no ovens, no venue to book.

The Cook-Off

Teams make pasta and ravioli against the clock. I taste, judge and name a winner.

Alla Famiglia

Everyone makes pasta and ravioli side by side, then sits down at one long table and serves each other family-style.

The menu

To add: porchetta or beef tagliata.

Also for offices

Sourdough at the office

A hands-on bread class: mix, fold and shape. Everyone takes home a loaf in a banneton to bake the next morning, plus a jar of starter. On the day, we cook warm sourdough flatbreads together.

Pricing on request.
