The process
Here's what happens
when you call us.
From your first message to the service on site. No grey areas.
- 01< 6h
You fill in the form, we respond
Location, dates, number of guests, type of event. Three lines are enough. We come back to you within 6 hours · or with a straight answer if we can't help.
- 0215 min
We qualify together
A quick call to frame the mission: expected service level, kitchen constraints, dietary habits, spoken languages, format (single dinner, stay, long-term residence, replacement).
- 0324h
We send you a proposal
Detailed quote: chef fees, coordination fees, payment terms, engagement duration. No grey areas. You know exactly what you're paying and where it goes.
- 0424h
We present 2 or 3 profiles
Not a list of 50 chefs. Two, sometimes three. Each hand-picked for your specific mission. You receive CVs, career paths, references · on file.
- 05At your pace
You select a profile
At this stage, you don't speak directly to the chef yet. This is deliberate · no contract signed, no direct connection. If you want to dig deeper, we organise a three-way call (you, the chef, me).
- 06Same day
We sign: service contract or trial contract
Service contract for confirmed missions. Trial contract for long missions where you want to test before committing. In both cases: electronic signature, NCC (non-circumvention agreement), clear terms.
- 07After payment
Payment received → direct connection
Once the deposit is paid, I put you in direct contact with the chef. You discuss the menu, wines, allergies, logistics. That's when the chef-client relationship starts · not before.
- 08Before + during
The chef operates. We supervise logistics.
The chef runs the kitchen · menu, shopping, equipment, execution on site. We handle logistics in parallel: transport, chef accommodation, payments, last-minute adjustments. We stay reachable throughout the mission.

What we cover
From a single dinner
to a full season.
We cover the full spectrum. The format changes, the standard doesn't.
Bespoke event creation
Private lunch, birthday dinner, themed evening. Menu built with you, chef selected for their style, full management on the day.
Residential missions
Villa in summer, chalet in winter, yacht in the Mediterranean. From a few days to several weeks, with a chef integrated into the daily life of the house.
Replacements and one-off missions
Your regular chef is unavailable? We find a replacement aligned with their style within 48h. Also for one-off needs (weekend, family event).
If we can't help · no right chef on the dates, location out of scope · we tell you straight and point you elsewhere.

Founder
Thomas Delcroix
Private chef since 2019, passionate about the world of luxury and private gastronomy. I've worked in Michelin-starred restaurants in France, spent several months yachting in the Mediterranean, and completed over 200 missions in villas, chalets and residences across Europe.
I founded Chefs Talents in 2023 to bring this network · chefs met in starred kitchens and aboard superyachts · to clients who demand excellence.
