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?

We were very lucky to have Chef Tim! His professionalism is outstanding; he replied when he said he would, answered our calls on time, and made it a point to understand my graduation party event, our tastes, my allergy, and even the tastes of our guests. I wanted a refined and elegant menu that didn't include anything having to do with pizza, pasta, salad, or bbq. He produced a menu that was also printable (great for framing and putting on the table for your guests to admire) that was delectable yet not too filling; (med-rare lamb lollipops, boursin-stuffed prosciutto wrapped dates) but also not stuffy- we also recommend the beer-cheese fondue! My favorite is the curry-chicken spoons. He arrived at our event in appropriate Chef attire with helpful written instructions and felt like a talented member of the family. Our only regret is we wish we had hired one of his staff to further execute, plate and pass the delcious-ness! It's hard to do it all. If this is available- DO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. Additionally, the VALUE of hiring Chef Tim is very good- there was an abundance of extras and in all the parties I have had, (there have been many) I was surprised to see that my guests never ceased to be enjoying the food. Well done Chef Tim, you are sure to have repeat business from the Sanford-Basiaga household.

Where do I start! The Quality of the food & hospitality is beyond superb. Everything from the beverage, appetizer & entree was like nothing I've had before. The beverage of Pineapple, mint and other magical ingredient paired wonderfully with the entree of steak tacos which made my taste-buds cry for more... Chef Deana is a gifted culinary genius with a warm and friendly demeanor. I plan on using her services again and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wonderful experience.
