Hello, I’m Fiona Shulman, and I’m passionate about transforming your dining experiences into unforgettable culinary journeys. With a deep love for food and a dedication to excellence, I founded Dinner is Served to bring the luxury of fine dining right to your home. Based in the charming town of Leighton Buzzard, we specialize in making every meal a moment to savor.
I’ve been a chef since I was 15 years old, and food has always been my greatest passion—no matter how it’s cooked or served. There’s nothing I love more than making someone’s day with a delicious meal, especially when it connects to their traditions and memories. Over the years, I’ve collected a treasure trove of recipes and developed countless personalized dishes, each crafted with care and creativity. I started my culinary journey from the ground up, beginning as a pot washer/KP and eventually working my way up to temporarily running a kitchen for 12 months while the site sort a more permanent head chef.
Life, however, threw a few hurdles my way. I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, endometriosis, and scoliosis—conditions that made working in the corporate kitchen industry increasingly challenging. Not many companies are eager to hire a chef who can’t lift heavy deliveries or spend long hours scrubbing down kitchen floors, especially one who struggles with 12 to 13-hour daily shifts.
But I wasn’t about to let these illnesses stop me from pursuing my passion! So, I put on my big girl boots, took all my knowledge, training, and fabulous recipes, and stepped out of the corporate world to bring my food and flavours directly to you. This journey led me to create Dinner is Served.
At Dinner is Served, we believe that dining should be more than just a meal—it should be an experience. That’s why our private chef takes the time to get to know your tastes, preferences, and even your wildest food dreams. From there, we craft personalized menus that are not just tailored to your palete but are also designed to delight and surprise.
Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner for two, a lively family gathering, or an extravagant party with friends, we are committed to ensuring that every dish we serve is a masterpiece. Our culinary creations are prepared with the finest ingredients and an unwavering commitment to quality. We pour our heart and soul into every dish, infusing it with passion and expertise.
All you need to do is invite me into your kitchen, then sit back and relax while I serve you delicious, flavourful food. I’m here to fill your meal with flavour and love, no matter what time of day it is! If you like the sound of that, get in touch, and we’ll create the perfect menu and an evening you won’t forget.
Let’s create something truly magical together.
