Booking a private chef is the easiest way to host a dinner people will remember. Here is how to plan one, from the first call to the last course.

The best dinner parties happen when the host is sitting at the table, not standing at the stove.

A little planning goes a long way. These are the questions we ask every host, and the details that make the evening run smoothly.

• Pick the date and guest count first
• Share allergies and dislikes early
• Decide on plated or family-style service
• Choose wine pairings or open your own cellar
• Clear a little counter space for the chef
