Your Personal Chef questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a personal chef cost?

On average, a personal chef costs $40 to $100 per hour or $50 to $130 per person. Some personal chefs charge per year, month, or day. Many charge $200 to $750 per week to prepare meals that you can reheat during the week. A personal chef's fee for a one-time dinner party is $300 to $1,600.

On the other hand, a private chef costs $5,000 to $10,000 per month or $60,000 to $120,000 per year, depending on their experience and how many hours they work. They usually work full time, up to 60 hours per week. Some private chefs charge per hour or day to create food for a one-time dinner party, but most work receive a regular salary from a single client.

What does a personal chef do?

A personal chef prepares meals for a family or client, either for a one-time dinner or on a regular basis. Many personal chefs will make a fresh meal once per week for clients and prepare reheat-able meals that their clients can heat up on their own later.

Is a personal chef worth it?

Personal chefs are worth it if you don’t have the time or ability to cook and have enough money to pay someone to cook for you. A personal chef can help you:

  • Save time on grocery shopping and cooking
  • Eat healthier foods and avoid fast food
  • Try different kinds of foods and expand your palette
  • Throw a dinner party or holiday dinner

How is a personal chef different from a private chef?

A personal chef is a cook that prepares food for one or more families, typically on a weekly or one-time basis. They may have several clients at a time and usually charge less than private chefs.

In contrast, private chefs typically prepare meals full-time for one family at a time which pays them a yearly salary. Private chefs charge more than personal chefs because they often have more experience and prepare more fresh meals instead of packaged meals made in advance.

How do I choose a personal chef?

You can follow these steps to make sure you hire the best possible personal chef:

  • Compare multiple quotes from reputable chefs near you.
  • Read chefs' reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Ask for a detailed quote and contract in writing.
  • Ask about their training and experience.
  • Ask what fees they charge and how they handle paying for groceries.
  • Make sure they have experience with any dietary needs you may have.

What questions should I ask personal or private chefs?

To make sure you find the candidate that will work best with your family, ask these questions:

  • What are your rates? Do you charge per person, per hour, per week, or something else?
  • Where did you receive your training or culinary education?
  • How many years of relevant experience do you have?
  • Where will be preparing the food?
  • Do you charge extra for groceries, or will I reimburse you after you shop?
  • Do you have experience with any specific dietary restrictions?
  • How soon can you start if we decide you're a good fit?
  • Do you charge extra for food delivery?
  • Do you have a set menu with rotating recipes, or could we make a customized meal plan?

Last December, I had the absolute pleasure of hiring Chef Brian Averna as a private chef for a party at my house, and it was a culinary experience beyond my wildest dreams! From the moment he stepped foot in my kitchen, I knew we were in for something special. Chef Brian's culinary skills were nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish he prepared was a masterpiece of flavors, textures, and presentation. Every bite was a burst of delight for the taste buds. From the tantalizing appetizers to the exquisite main courses, and the decadent desserts, Chef Brian showcased a remarkable ability to craft dishes that left everyone at the party in awe. What impressed me the most was Chef Brian's exceptional flexibility and attention to detail when it came to accommodating my guests' dietary restrictions. Some of my friends have specific food allergies and dietary preferences, and Chef Brian handled these challenges with ease and grace. He crafted delectable alternatives without compromising on taste or quality, ensuring that everyone felt included and catered to. Chef Brian’s personality also added an extra spark to the party. He was charismatic, charming, and a lot of fun to talk to. He effortlessly engaged with my guests, sharing stories about his culinary journey and adventures with diverse ethnic cuisines.

He infused our party with an array of international flavors, transporting us to different corners of the globe through his dishes. Whether it was the fragrant spices of India, the savory richness of Italian cuisine, or the delicate balance of Japanese flavors, Chef Brian showcased his mastery in each culinary creation. Beyond his culinary prowess, Chef Brian was also incredibly professional and organized. He prepared the dishes with precision and efficiency, ensuring that everything was served promptly and with perfection. Hiring Chef Brian Averna was an unforgettable experience that elevated my party to new heights. His fantastic food, delightful personality, and flexibility with dietary restrictions made the evening a resounding success.
