If you have a large family, large staff, multiple homes, special dietary needs, or frequently host dinner guests or large events, then a personal chef is a must. Our personal chefs pride themselves on preparing daily meals that are fresh, healthy, and delicious – and a feast for the eye.

Your private, in-home chef is responsible for all menu planning, shopping, food prep, and controlling food costs. He or she will address special dietary needs of each family member including spa, vegan, vegetarian, and kosher. And your private chef will astound you with a variety of world cuisine such as classical, French, Mediterranean, Mexican, Asian, and Indian.

Most of our personal chefs are formally trained, and they relish supporting special events − small or large, formal or informal. Depending on the amount of cooking your household requires, many of our chefs offer other household skills as well. In addition, if you need a chef for a special occasional, holiday, or event, contact us (link to Contact page); we can staff a personal chef to support your temporary needs.

Our private chefs typically perform the following tasks:

  • Create menus for daily meals, informal dinner parties, and large formal gatherings
  • Purchase all food items, seeking the freshest ingredients
  • Bake fresh breads, desserts, and snacks for kids!
  • Keep the pantry and refrigerator stocked
