Private Chef Services

What is a Private Chef?

Private chefs can cook all of your meals in your home, or travel with you and cook on yachts, private planes, and vacation homes. You can also hire a private chef to work full-time for an organization, company, or event venue. Private chefs are available for hire for a month, week, or even a day.

Pricing

How much does a Private Chef Cost?

Pricing depends on the number of meals, complexity, and number of guests we’re cooking for. When you want to hire a private chef, we will discuss your requirements first. Then we match you with the chef that’s best equipped to meet your needs.

We can also hire executive chefs and sous chefs on your behalf. We can provide Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma private chefs. Please contact us for a complimentary quote.

1

Number of Meals

How many meals per week or per day you need — breakfasts, lunches, dinners, or full-day catering all factor into the pricing model.

2

Recipe Complexity

Multi-course menus with specialized techniques, wine pairings, or strict dietary accommodations take longer to plan and execute.

3

Number of Guests

Cooking for a couple is very different from cooking for 20. Party size shapes ingredient volume, staffing, and timing.
