What is a Personal, or Private Chef, as they are sometimes known?
Personal Chefs come in all shapes and sizes, with as many food skills and styles as you see in restaurants all over the world. They are becoming much more mainstream as people enjoy the pleasures of dining in their own homes or having someone cook for them whilst on holiday.
Some personal chefs have owned and run their own restaurants. Other personal chefs have been trained by one of the private cookery schools and have made this line of work their career from day one. There are also personal chefs who work solely for one client, they travel with them and sometimes even take holidays with them.
Once upon a time it was only the very wealthy who had personal chefs but now you are just as likely to find a professional couple with children using the services of such a chef. The name "Private Chef" is also used to designate a chef who works for in individual client or clients.
Why Hire a Personal Chef?
Sometimes, its the occasion that demands the support of someone who knows their way around a menu that might otherwise not be cooked by you. Not only the larger life events such as weddings, but also dinner parties where as host you want to be able to enjoy your guests. Wouldn't it be nice to have an evening where the whole meal (and the clearing up) is taken care of?
Do you have a situation where there just is not enough time in the week to organised meals for yourself and family? It could be that you have a project at work that is keeping you busy or you would just like more quality time with your loved ones.
If you think of a Personal Chef like you would other experts you contact when needed, its really just a case of finding one that suits your requirements and is going to meet your expectations.
