Job Description

We are a family of four located in Fort Collins, Colorado, seeking an experienced and passionate chef to join us in our home. Our family values high-quality, organic food and requires a chef who can skillfully accommodate various dietary restrictions including dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free options. This opportunity is unique as it is the first time we are hiring a personal chef, and we are enthusiastic about finding someone who can bring culinary expertise and creativity to our daily meals. The chef will be responsible for preparing diverse, delicious, and nutritious dishes that meet our specific dietary needs while maintaining the integrity and flavor of organic ingredients.

As a family that enjoys leftovers for lunch, the chef will also plan meals to ensure we have ample portions for subsequent meals, helping us save time and reduce food waste. Since we are new to employing a personal chef, we are looking for guidance regarding the scheduling and pricing, and we welcome discussions on typical working patterns to find the best fit for both parties. The ideal candidate should be flexible, communicative, and dedicated to delivering excellent culinary experiences in our home kitchen environment. This role is perfect for a chef passionate about home cooking, nutrition, and accommodating special dietary needs with a commitment to organic and sustainable ingredients.
