The two terms are used interchangeably and typically a personal chef cooks meals off-site for delivery or prepares multiple meals at once for you to reheat later, while a private chef comes to your home or event to cook fresh meals on-site, often serving multiple courses and creating a luxury dining experience.

We recommend booking your private chef service as early as possible, especially for weekends. Ideally, you should book at least 2 weeks in advance. However, we understand that sometimes events come up on short notice, so we’ll do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.

A personal chef prepares fully customized meals for you each week—either in your home or off-site with delivery.

If you’re looking for weekly, home-style meals tailored just for you, the personal chef option is a perfect fit.
