New Year's Eve Dinner · Gothenburg
What a private chef does on New Year's Eve.
On 31 December restaurants run fixed menus at fixed sittings, and the night ends with a scramble for a ride home. Hosting is easier when someone else does the cooking. A private chef plans the menu with you in the app chat, shops, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course and clears up, and you count down in Gothenburg with your guests.
New Year’s Eve dinner in Sweden is often the most formal meal of the year: lobster, bleak roe (löjrom) or toast Skagen to start, a fish course or a shellfish platter, and beef fillet, venison or lamb as the main. Dessert, a cheese board or a midnight sandwich comes after the clock strikes twelve. A chef can cook a menu of several courses or a shellfish table that stays out through the evening.
New Year's Eve is a single night every host wants at the same time, so chefs' calendars fill weeks ahead. Message chefs as soon as you know your guest count, and agree in chat when the first course goes out, how the evening should run up to midnight, and any dietary needs. Say whether you want the chef to stay for a late dessert or to leave once the main course is cleared.
