My name is Mat Mailandt and I want to cook in your kitchen. 

YOUR CHEF MAT MAILANDT
Imagine a perfect dinner party: a table full of friends, great conversation and of course amazing food. Now imagine it without any of the work.

That’s where I come in. I’m a Toronto based comedian, actor and an award winning home chef who loves to cook and host dinner parties. I’ll bring the dinner party to you. 

But I’m not just a takeout delivery guy. We’re talking about restaurant quality, locally sourced meals prepared in your kitchen. It’s an interactive experience where you get to learn about the food, watch preparation and maybe even get inspired for next time you’re in the kitchen! Or, just enjoy your guests and leave everything kitchen related to me. 

If you live in the Greater Toronto Area let's talk! I'm currently booking for September to December. Availability is limited so please reach out soon!

LOCALLY INSPIRED CUSTOM MENUS

I am passionate about local produce. Every time I visit a new city, my first question is: "Where is the Farmer's Market?"

Every menu will incorporate as much locally sourced seasonal produce as possible. Sometimes that means working with local providers. If you're lucky, that means vegetables from my family garden in Cobourg, Ontario.

I offer two options - a three course meal or a five course chef's tasting menu. Entertainment or cocktail parings are also available at an additional cost.

All of my menus are plant forward. I offer vegan and vegetarian menus as well as some that include meat and fish.

'22 Themes

Food should tell a story. So this year, I've selected two options that inspire me and your taste buds. Let me know which theme you'd like me to bring to your dinner party.

A Taste of Greece

Think garden fresh produce, citrus and the char of the grill. I live in Greektown and I'm inspired daily by the great vendors in my neighbourhood.

Ontario's Finest

Ontario food is world class. This theme let's it shine as you discover some of Canada's most delicious terroir.

DINNER (3-COURSE STARTS AT $89PP)
6-12 Guests

Enjoy a custom appetizer, main and dessert that showcases farm fresh food prepared with care in the comfort of your own home.

DINNER (5-COURSE STARTS AT $139PP)
6-12 Guests

I will take you on a journey through a beautiful tasting menu. Creativity shines through my innovative use of farm fresh produce. It's comfort food that might take you outside your comfort zone.
I source as much of my produce as possible from Ontario farmers. Some even comes from my family garden in Cobourg, Ontario! Find out more about our commitment to local food!

Each of my packages come with a complementary in person consultation ahead of the party to ensure the details are just right! I provide the food.  You provide the dishware and cutlery.

Some of my favourite tales are Cocktails.

If you'd like to elevate your dinner party I'll bring in a licensed mixologist to make a beverage to accompany each course. Any or all guests can replace with mocktails.
