Frequently Asked Questions

Get the answers to common questions about our personal chefs.

How much does a private chef cost per month?

The answer depends on a number of factors, including how many people are being catered, the cuisine type, the time of engagement with the chef and so on. Some chefs may charge more or less depending on their skills and your specific needs. But whether you're looking for an occasional dinner party or nightly meals for your family, a private chef can provide an incredible dining experience at an attractive price.

Are personal chefs worth it?

Anyone who has ever stood in front of an open fridge, staring blankly at the contents, knows that coming up with dinner ideas can be a real challenge. And for busy families, cooking dinner can be a time-consuming hassle.

A personal chef can take the stress out of meal planning and provide delicious, home-cooked meals tailored to your needs and preferences.

When you consider the time and effort you'll save, a personal chef service is definitely worth it.

So whether you're looking to save time or impress your dinner guests, a personal chef is a great option.

What is the difference between personal and private chef?

A private chef is an employee while a personal chef is a cooking service provider.

A private chief is generally employed by a household to prepare meals on a daily basis from morning until night.

A personal chef is more of a service where the chef will prepare meals for daily, weekly or even monthly needs. A personal chef offers this as a service, and meals are prepared after an order is placed.

What is personal chef catering?

Personal chef catering is the best way to host an event without having worry about cooking! You can have your favorite foods, appetizers and desserts catered by our expert chefs with fine dining experience.

They will prepare food fresh just for you so that there is no need in doing any cooking yourself.

A personal chef serves as both cook (or "chef") and dietician; designing menus based on dietary restrictions specific to each guest - from gluten free diets to vegan.
