SERVICES
You start Dreaming and we’ll start Planning!
At Dream Planning Pros, the vacation planning process begins with a conversation. We’ll discuss your travel needs and desires, go over your travel preferences and travel history. We’ll learn about you and your travel party, what type of budget you’re working with, and any other special requests or accommodations that may be necessary to plan the best vacation possible. We love these conversations because it’s fun to start the Dream Planning process and begin to turn your dreams into reality!
Based on this first conversation, if we determine that working together is a good fit, the following services will be available to you as our client. One of the design fees listed below will be charged before moving forward with your custom vacation design.

Our services extend to putting together an entire day by day itinerary created just for you including ground transfers, tours, and dining.

Why did you create The Chef & The Dish?
The Chef & The Dish has been transporting kitchens since 2016. We believe the world is better connected, and how better to connect the world than to share your kitchen? The Chef & The Dish is a kitchen to kitchen culinary experience, introducing you to people around the world, and exposing you to the deepest part of a culture, the food. The Chef & The Dish gives you, your family and your friends an opportunity to experience the world's most iconic dishes - even if you can't hop in a plane today. Interact with cultures across the globe, taste the flavours, and transport your kitchen to a different part of the world for the day.

Will you provide a shopping list?
Absolutely. Your Kitchen Assistant will provide your shopping list and answer any questions you might have. Our chefs provide suggestions on the best brands to purchase to ensure a truly authentic taste. We also recommend select local markets and grocers to find ingredients for your class!
What cooking equipment will I need?
Each chef ensures their class can be held using standard kitchen equipment. If any specific items are needed for the menu, they are noted in the Cooking Class section. You'll receive information on the exact equipment you need prior to your class in your Kitchen Prep Session. If anything needs to be purchased, you can choose to do so, or the chef will tailor the recipe to the items you have on hand.
Can I book a class with a few friends?
Of course! We encourage groups to get together for The Chef & The Dish culinary experiences, and pricing is very well suited for groups. Each class is priced for a two-person minimum. Parties up to six are welcome. If you have more people you'd like to attend, please contact us so we can help arrange your event.
Are there discounts if I buy multiple cooking classes?

What is your Cancellation Policy?
Any experience with The Chef & The Dish can be cancelled and refunded within 24 hours of purchase. If you cancel your class within 7 days of the class start time, you will recieve 100% credit towards your account. Please know, any cancellation within 7 days of a class cannot be refunded. We like to let our guests understand why. Our chefs reserve their time for your party. That means, they turn away all other class requests for that day and time. When a party cancels, it means they lose wages for that day and within a short window, it's likely those wages will not be recovered.
