Job Description

We are seeking an experienced private chef to join a discerning client who values a whole-foods-based cooking lifestyle. Our client is highly intentional about their diet and requires a chef who shares a passion for preparing fresh, nutrient-rich, and flavorful meals. This engagement is initially short-term with around three weeks of daily cooking, designed to provide a trial period that may develop into a long-term collaboration, making it an excellent opportunity for chefs who enjoy building close relationships with clients and contributing to their well-being through quality food. This private chef role involves preparing meals exclusively for one individual, ensuring that every dish adheres to clearly defined ingredient restrictions communicated in advance. The ability to source high-quality, seasonal, and local ingredients is paramount, highlighting the client’s commitment to clean cooking and the preservation of nutrient integrity. This position requires meticulous attention to proper food storage solutions and maintaining an efficient, professional in-home kitchen environment. The role will begin with a trial day followed by a one-week trial engagement, offering both the chef and client the chance to align expectations and work style before committing further. Private chefs applying for this role should have a strong background in cooking from scratch and a keen interest in ingredient sourcing. They must be organized, adaptable, and passionate about clean eating principles and delivering meals that delight and nourish. If you take pride in working closely with thoughtful clients and excel in creating meals that support a healthful lifestyle, this position offers the perfect platform to showcase your skills and develop meaningful professional relationships in the private cooking scene.
