Welcome to The Chefworks
_Chef Marco has been a chef for over 30 years and for some time has been doing art, holding dinner parties, baking for friends and giving pastry demos and instruction in his studio.
Our supper club can accommodate gatherings of up to eight people. The space also functions as a studio where Marco makes and displays his art. It is an intimate and informal alternative to going out to a nice restaurant.
"Spending the day baking and preparing great food is one of the things I enjoy best, and my sculpture and library inspire great conversation."
(Click on the Menu and Kitchen Scenes tab to get an idea of what a dining experience would be like )
Chef Marco works with clients to create, and prepare cocktail parties and dinners in their home/kitchen.
We can come to your home to prepare and serve custom cocktail parties, lunch or dinner. You can tell us what you have in mind, to produce a unique and memorable party or meal.
