Cooking for yourself or ordering takeout aren’t your only options if you want to dine in while staying at a home rental. Thanks to a new partnership between HomeExchange and Take a Chef, you can enjoy high-end private dining without ever stepping foot off the property.

Take a Chef specializes in international, private, chef-led experiences, whether celebrating something special or just wanting a luxury meal at home. Chefs work with clients to create customized menus. Meanwhile, HomeExchange Collection isn’t your average vacation rental provider; instead, it’s a membership-based community in which travelers exchange more than 4,000 luxury homes in more than 70 countries (so, yes, you do have to own a luxury property in order to vacation at someone else’s — think of it as a bit like The Holiday, but with no sketchy chat room).
As part of the new HomeExchange/Take a Chef partnership, HomeExchange Collection members currently enjoy a 10 percent discount on all in-home dining experiences booked through Take a Chef, as well as complimentary welcome appetizers with reservations.

Not sure Take a Chef is right for you? HomeExchange Collection members get access to special offers through myriad other partnerships, such as those with The Chef & The Dish (for one-on-one cooking classes), Context Travel (for educational tours), and Soothe (for private spa services).
