From breakfast service to a private cooking event – why not spoil yourself in your holiday finca!

Holidaying in your own finca is undoubtedly one of the most popular and relaxing holiday options. Privacy, independence and tranquillity are just a few of the great benefits of having your own holiday property, even though it is only rented. The only problem (for some people) is the cooking!

Eating out in a restaurant every day seems to be the simplest solution initially, and the island impresses with an immense gastronomic selection for every taste and budget. A communal meal in the holiday finca, however, for two, with the family, or together with friends can definitely be a highlight and does not have to involve going shopping or cleaning the kitchen afterwards. Simply order a private chef !

Private cooking events, including breakfast service, are currently very popular in Mallorca and very fashionable not only with tourists but also with residents.

We are not talking about a simple catering service although, of course, this is also possible, but the offers available go well beyond this and are full of surprises. The cooking events do not even have to take place on your finca – some chefs even invite to their own premises or to other kitchens. But regardless of the location, you are the guest.

Please take a seat. At your own cooking event in your holiday home, you as host can still enjoy the gourmet meal to the fullest without stress and do not have to worry about anything, including washing up afterwards.

All you need to do is to choose the theme, and you have nothing to do with shopping, preparation or washing dishes. Should anything in your kitchen be used it goes without saying that it will look like new at the end of the meal.. The price range is just as large as the culinary selection and the cost depends entirely on you – even for a lower budget our recommended house chefs can offer a wide choice.

Maxx Catering

Even as a child Max spent a lot of time at his grandmother’s side in the kitchen – no wonder that later he made his hobby into a profession and opened his own restaurant in France. The Berliner has been in Mallorca now for almost 22 years with his diverse catering styles and offers.

This works so well that he does not need either advertising or a website.

”Word-of-mouth propaganda is the best recommendation” he believes.

Starting with breakfasts and continuing over candlelight dinners, birthdays or other large and small private celebrations, company events or champagne receptions – Max offers a feel-good programme for to suit every taste, and his catering can be ordered for only one person up to larger groups of 250 people.

His ideas are put into practice according to the wishes of his customers and include BBQ’s, paella show-cooking, tapa buffets and other Mediterranean delicacies, and much is produced by hand including his home-made jams. Very popular are Max’s cooking courses for small groups at the finca when he shows, for example, how typical tapas are made. The most important rule for Max is:

”Afterwards the kitchen is cleaner than before”.

He can also bring everything required for an enjoyable evening for larger groups, from waiters and barkeepers to tables, chairs and tableware.

Jens Kruse, one of the most established private chefs on the island, has been a welcome guest for 20 years and is also well-known and popular amongst island residents. He not only serves delicacies ranging from ‘quite simple’ up to star menus (whilst emphasising that he does not do catering), but also brings along a great deal of island feeling and the Mallorcan way-of-life.

Like his colleagues Jens produces everything locally and has already enchanted various celebrities and wedding couples, although it is not necessary to be a celebrity or get married to try out his talents. He likes, for example, carte-blanche surprise menus.

He also passes on his tips and tricks in entertaining cooking courses, and even invites you to his own home – with you as the host. Those who would like to cook his creations themselves can find inspiration in his cookbook which he has published together with a colleague. We also like the fact that he does not use any Nestle’s products and generally shops in supermarkets which are still Mallorcan-owned and not, like most, in foreign hands.
