Bringing Idaho’s Bounty to Your Table
Intimate private dinners, seasonal tasting events, and small celebrations — curated with care by Chef Jesse Seldin, using Idaho’s finest local ingredients.
At Indulge Idaho with Jesse, we believe food should be an experience — one that connects people, celebrates the season, and highlights the incredible bounty of our region.
Chef Jesse Seldin brings over a decade of professional culinary expertise to your table, offering a range of personalized dining experiences, from private dinners to exclusive seasonal tasting events and intimate celebrations.
Whether you're hosting a romantic evening, gathering friends, or planning a memorable event, we’ll create an experience that’s as unforgettable as the meal itself.
Small Events
Whether you’re hosting a birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, or intimate company gathering, I’ll work with you to create a custom-themed menu that fits your vision. Past themes have included High Tea, Woodland Garden, Black & Gold Affair, The Great Gatsby, and more.
Tapas
Perfect for less intimate gatherings—colleagues, friends, or networking mixers—I’ll curate a spread of hors d’oeuvres and small bites. From classic charcuterie and wine pairings to fresh seafood displays and Spanish-style tapas, these events are all about mingling and flavor.
Private Dinner
Designed for 2 to 12 guests, these in-home or on-location dinners are fully customized and range from rustic comfort food to elegant multi-course tasting menus. I can provide all necessary serviceware, or use what’s available in your home.
