A
personal
chef is a
chef
that
goes to a client's home and prepares meals for
their client based on their needs and personal
preferences. The chef purchases the ingredients,
prepares the meal, and cleans up after the dinner.
The menu is preplanned and discussed with the
client, then prepared in their home the night(s) of
their choosing. The chef typically prepares the
menu prior to arriving at the client's home and
puts the finishing touches on the meal when they
serve the meal at the client's house.
Prior to the days when the personal chef service is requested, a menu and a budget are submitted for the client's approval. Typically, the chef is given approval, a deposit, or (if familiar with the guest/frequent client) an expense account for the menu. The client pays for this in addition to the cost of the chef's services and gratuity.
Personal chefs also provide meal planning and budget planning for homeowners and second homeowners that are busy with their own lives, but insist on nutritious and tasty meals for their families. Personal Chef's are often Chef's who have worked as Executive Chefs for restaurants or hotels that prefer the personal setting of intimate dinners.
