“Thanks for the opportunity to do last night’s dinner party.  It is so much more satisfying working for a small group than working behind the scenes in the hotel... and much better for me financially!  I look forward to doing more of these.”

“It has been almost 6 months since I started to work with The Chef Alliance.  I am now ready to quit my Executive Chef position at the restaurant and do this full time.  My passion for cooking has been rekindled since working with you.  Thanks for all the support that you have given me.”

The highlight of providing a Chef Experience for Mr Markovic on behalf of The Chef Alliance was "Great experience, had fun, talked about food, wine, cooking techniques."

life, etc Magazine, Article - 2008-10-01

Published in life, etc magazine, RBC Rewards Magazine Written by Anita Draycott  Millions of Royal Bank Visa Cardholders are familiar with the 'life.etc with RBC Rewards' magazine, the glossy magazine highlighting the very best rewards offered through the program.   The Fall/ Winter 2008 magazine featured 6 of the 20 Experiences by RBC Rewards on pages 14 and 15, including The Chef Alliance’s Personal Chef Experience.   Editor, Anita Draycott, experienced the services of one of our Chefs over the summer, when she invited 4 of her friends and colleagues to join her for dinner.  She wrote, in her opening article ‘From the Editor,’ “Never have I enjoyed one of my dinner parties so much.  Why?  Because instead of jumping up and down all evening, I sat and ate and laughed with my friends...”   Giving ‘experiences’ rather than ‘things’ is fast becoming the trend during the main gifting occasions, such as Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, baby and wedding showers, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.  “Chef Experiences appeal to everyone,” says Chef Sonia, president of The Chef Alliance.  “Everyone likes to eat great food.  Having your own Personal Chef for the evening to design a menu just for you, to shop, cook and clean up, are the perfect ingredients for an unforgettable evening with friends and loved ones.” For more details on booking or purchasing a Chef Experience, or to find out how to offer your Personal Chef Services through the Chef Alliance, please contact us.
