What a private chef brings to your stay in Dubai

In Dubai, everything moves fast: days are full, distances are long and kosher restaurants are few and far between. Having a live-in chef removes this constraint. Meals are ready when you return from the beach or a meeting, prepared according to the rules you have given us. Our chefs work in the spirit of kashrut and of the customs followed by many families, particularly those who refer to the Consistoire, without needless rigidity. Every family has its own practice, and it is the family that sets the framework. The chef adapts to it, talks with you beforehand and adjusts the menus accordingly.

Where do the products we cook come from?

In the Emirates, a large share of kosher products is imported. We therefore organize the sourcing before your arrival, favoring raw products and items bearing recognized certifications such as OU, Badatz, Rav Rottenberg or the Consistoire. This forward planning avoids unpleasant surprises once you are there. Fruits, vegetables and fresh herbs, plentiful in the city's markets, complement the certified purchases. Nothing enters the kitchen without being checked, and you can ask about the origin of any ingredient at any time.

What rules do we follow at the stove?

Meat and dairy never meet, neither in the dishes nor in the utensils. The eggs are cracked one by one and checked. Leafy greens and herbs are washed and inspected according to the method you follow at home. If you have particular requirements, such as a mashgiach, specific waiting times between meat and dairy or products you do not use, simply let us know. The chef notes them and applies them throughout your stay.

A kitchen set up in your villa or apartment

Residences in Dubai often have large, modern kitchens, but they are rarely designed for kosher cooking. Our chef therefore begins by organizing the space with one work surface and set of utensils for bassari, others for halavi, and a pareve area if needed. The chef can work with toveled tableware that we provide, or with your own equipment if you travel with it. This arrangement is set up on the very first day and maintained until departure.

Why is everything cooked the same day?

In the heat of the emirate, freshness is no small detail. Our chefs do not deliver dishes prepared in advance: everything is cooked on site throughout the day. Salads are assembled at the last moment, fish seared just before you sit down to eat. You know exactly what is on your plate, since everything is prepared before your eyes. It is also the best way to stay in control of how your rules are respected.

Villa, penthouse, yacht: where does our chef work in Dubai?

We come to wherever you are staying: villas on Palm Jumeirah, homes in Emirates Hills or Jumeirah, penthouses in Downtown and Dubai Marina, or aboard a private yacht for a day at sea. The chef adapts to the size of the kitchen, the number of guests and the rhythm of the household, remaining discreet, cooking, serving if you wish, then putting the kitchen back in order. The goal is for you to feel at home, even on the other side of the world.

A chef for your entire stay

For stays of one week or more, we offer a dedicated chef from breakfast to dinner. The chef plans the menus with you, does the shopping, cooks and adapts to the unexpected: an earlier lunch, extra guests, a child who will only eat pasta. This day-to-day service is particularly appreciated during the school holidays, when the whole family is together. You enjoy the city; the chef takes care of the rest.

Shabbat, holidays and receptions in Dubai

A Shabbat dinner prepared in advance and kept warm according to your customs, a festive meal for Rosh Hashanah or Pessa'h, a reception for a bar mitzvah celebrated abroad: our chefs know how to organize these moments far from home. They plan ahead for the shopping, the timing and the equipment needed. For large gatherings, the chef can be accompanied by a second person in the kitchen or for service. You entertain just as you would at home.

Menus designed with you

Before your arrival, we discuss your tastes, your children's tastes, any allergies and the kind of meals you would like. Menus can be halavi, bassari or vegetarian, and can be adapted to special periods such as Pessa'h, with or without kitniyot. The cuisine blends Mediterranean influences, Sephardic and Ashkenazi recipes, and Middle Eastern touches: homemade hummus, spiced grilled fish, za'atar-roasted vegetables, desserts with dates and pistachio. Every menu can be changed from one day to the next.

Logistics designed for a stay abroad

Cooking kosher far from home takes organization. We prepare the shopping list, reserve the certified products and arrange toveled tableware if needed. The chef arrives with a clear plan and handles any additional purchases on site. You have nothing to manage, neither before nor during your stay.

Special diets: gluten-free, lactose-free, light

Some family members may have specific needs. Our chefs offer gluten-free, lactose-free or low-carb dishes, while staying within the kosher-friendly framework agreed with you. The same meal can thus suit everyone, without anyone feeling left out. The recipes are designed to stay light, a real asset in Dubai's hot climate.

Plant-based cuisine, a popular option

Kosher-friendly vegetarian and vegan meals are increasingly in demand, especially for lunch. Our chefs work with legumes, ancient grains, seasonal vegetables and Middle Eastern spices to create colorful, satisfying plates. It is also a practical way to simplify the separation of dairy and meat for certain meals.

The taste of the Middle East, respecting your traditions

Dubai lies at the crossroads of many cuisines, and our chefs naturally draw inspiration from them: warm spices, citrus, fresh herbs, grilled dishes and mezze to share. These flavors pair beautifully with the Jewish culinary traditions of North Africa and the Levant. The result is kosher-friendly cuisine that feels both familiar and exotic, giving your stay a true local flavor.

A beautifully set table, from everyday meals to grand evenings

Even for a simple lunch by the pool, presentation matters. Our chefs plate with care, choose suitable serving dishes and can set a more festive table for an important dinner. The idea is not to overdo it, but to make every meal an invitation to gather around the table.
