CHEF DYLAN GRACIE
Born in South Africa and raised in Australia, my journey into hospitality began at a young age and has since taken me across the globe. With over 20 years of international experience in the industry, I’ve dedicated my life to creating unforgettable experiences that bring people together through food, music, and community. From fine dine kitchens and luxury events to intimate family gatherings, my career has been driven by a deep love for connecting with people and crafting moments that nourish both body and soul.
As The Entertaining Chef, I combine my passion for food, music, and people into a unique service that’s so much more than a meal. I offer private chef services, group cooking classes, family-style dinner parties, and immersive music and entertainment experiences, perfect for special celebrations, private events, or team-building gatherings. Every dish I create is rooted in creativity, quality, and connection, designed to inspire conversation and joy around the table.
Beyond the kitchen, I’m deeply passionate about educating others on nutrition and the powerful link between gut health and the brain. I believe that food has the ability to heal, energize, and transform how we feel, and I love sharing that knowledge in a way that’s approachable, exciting, and deeply rewarding for my clients.
Above all, I take great pride in what I do. Every event, every plate, and every experience is crafted with care, intention, and genuine passion. My mission is simple: to make people happy, bring them together, and leave them with memories that last long after the final bite and the last song.

Private Chef & Charter Experiences
In partnership with Galeon Sky Boat Charters, The Entertaining Chef brings unforgettable culinary and sensory experiences to the open water.
Option 1 – Private Chef and Music Experience at Sea
Set sail for a stress-free day on the water with a customized menu and curated playlist, designed to match the vibe of your celebration. Whether it’s a birthday, engagement, or sunset gathering, enjoy a relaxed, elevated experience with a private chef onboard — and the option to add a live DJ for the perfect party atmosphere. Catering delivery options are also available for guests who prefer to simply enjoy the feast without the live experience.
Option 2 – Finding Peace at Sea
A one-of-a-kind meditation and sound healing experience set on floating mats just off the back of the boat. Reconnect with nature and your senses while I guide a grounding session blending breath, sound, and stillness — followed by a live cooking demonstration and a nourishing lunch or dinner prepared with care. It’s the ultimate blend of wellness, flavor, and tranquility on the water.
COOKING CLASSES
At The Entertaining Chef Company, our cooking classes go beyond recipes — they’re about transformation. A few years ago, I was out of shape, struggling with gut issues, high blood pressure, and low energy. By changing my diet, training consistently, and focusing on real nutrition, I lost over 40 pounds, restored my health, and found a sense of clarity and confidence I hadn’t felt in 20 years. Now, I’m passionate about teaching others how to create healthy, delicious meals that fuel both body and mind. Because good nutrition shouldn’t be complicated — it should be enjoyable, flavorful, and life-changing. Now let’s get cooking. Book your experience with our Head Chef Dylan Gracie.
