Down to Earth Cuisine’s Private Dinner Service

Founded by Chef David Boyd in 2015, Down to Earth Cuisine is a team of trained chefs who bring fine-dining experience into private homes. Each chef shops for fresh ingredients on the way to your home, cooks every course in your kitchen, and builds menus they’re proud to plate.

Our chefs are matched to the kind of evening you’re hosting, whether that’s a quiet anniversary or a larger gathering. We handle the planning, the cooking, and the cleanup so you can stay with your guests.

Sample Menu

Multi-Course Menu Design for All Dietary Needs

We create an unforgettable multi-course meal so you and your guests will remember your special occasion forever. We work with you to create the perfect evening you dreamed of!

When we discuss your event, let us know what you have in mind for the menu. We are happy to work with any ideas that you have. We can also suggest menus based on the event, your group, and the time of year. We like to design menus with seasonal ingredients at their peak to provide amazing quality and flavor.
