Leading catering and events company launches four new seasonal dinner party packages to create the ultimate at-home experience.
Melbourne catering company Cookes Food has reimagined its all-inclusive small dinner party packages with four new, themed seasonal menus.
It comes at good timing with 30 people now allowed at private homes, so from backyard birthdays to lavish dinner parties, the Private Dinner Series has you covered with packages incorporating high-quality, local and seasonal ingredients to suit every event, style and taste. Cookes Food will do all the hard work while you celebrate with each of the four, all-inclusive packages including both a personal chef and waiter.
“We wanted to create menus that celebrate the flexibility and fun of having a dinner party at home. The concept lets us curate intimate and personal events by tailoring each menu to suit your vibe. It showcases what we do best: cooking and creating beautiful food for people to share with their family and friends in their home,” says Sophie Storen, founder of Cookes Food.

The new menus highlight a key seasonal dish with complementary ingredients that play beautifully on Cookes Food’s ethos of creating “delicious memories”. The packages are uniquely themed, with highlights including:
• Salty as the Sea: Snapper en papillote with caramelised summer fennel, lemon pinwheels and green olive tapenade
• Beets, Burrata & Slow-Roasted Lamb: Roasted lamb leg with marinated heirloom tomatoes, horseradish vinaigrette and yellow pepper paste
• Summer Feast: Linguini with spanner crab, WA prawns, zucchini crudo, mint, lemon zest and extra virgin olive oil
• Rib-eye, herbs and Messy Dessert: Eton mess with hazelnut meringue, lemon curd, double cream and macerated summer berries
The Private Dinner Series is available to book now through cookesfood.com.au, with a minimum of 12 people per package. Prices start from $160 per person including one waiter and one chef.
No matter how you’re choosing to dine, or celebrate your next occasion, there’s no doubt Cookes Food has you covered.
