Chef Siri announced on May 13 the launch of a new private chef and bespoke dining service based in Auckland, providing personalized, restaurant-quality culinary experiences for clients across New Zealand and visiting international guests.
The new service aims to meet the growing demand for chef-led dining tailored to individual preferences. Chef Siri said, “New Zealand has some of the world’s finest ingredients – and every table deserves to experience them. That’s what Chef Siri is here for.”
Clients can book through chefsiri.co.nz, where each engagement begins with a consultation that allows Chef Siri to design custom menus based on dietary needs, taste preferences, cultural food traditions, and specific occasions. The company highlights its use of local seasonal produce such as Hauraki Gulf seafood, South Island lamb, Canterbury free-range poultry, Hawke’s Bay stone fruit, and artisan dairy products.
“Whether I’m cooking for a Kiwi family celebrating a birthday or a couple from California on the trip of a lifetime, the reaction to New Zealand’s produce is always the same – pure amazement,” said Chef Siri.
The service offers private dinner parties, milestone celebrations like birthdays and anniversaries, luxury travel dining experiences at holiday homes, corporate lunches and executive retreats. Weekly meal prep plans are also available with options catering to vegan, gluten-free or other dietary requirements. Bookings can be made online by both local residents and international visitors planning their trips in advance.
Chef Siri is currently accepting bookings across Auckland as well as Waiheke Island and the wider North Island region. Packages accommodate groups ranging from two people up to more than twenty guests.
