Rates & Questions
How far do you travel?
Mara serves homes within 40 miles of the city. Beyond that, ask and she will tell you honestly whether the evening is workable.
How far ahead should I book?
Bookings open 3 weeks ahead, which keeps every dinner planned around the market and the season rather than a standing menu.
What about allergies or plant-based guests?
Dietary adaptations are included at no extra cost. Tell Mara about every allergy and preference when you book, and the whole menu is built around them.
Is there a deposit?
A 30% deposit holds your date. The balance is due the evening of the dinner, once you have seen what is on the table.
What does my kitchen need?
An oven, four burners, some fridge space, a working sink and a clear counter. That is all Mara asks of a home kitchen.
Do you bring equipment and plates?
Mara brings her knives, pans and serving pieces. She uses your plates, so the table still looks like yours.
What if I cancel or change the date?
Rescheduling is free up to 10 days out. Inside that window the deposit is retained, because the ingredients are already ordered.
Do you clean up?
Always. The kitchen is left cleaner than Mara found it, with nothing for you to do but linger at the table.
Write with a date in mind
Mara replies personally within two days. Menus are planned by email once your date is held. Bookings open 3 weeks ahead.
