Part-Time | Brentwood

Our lovely clients — a couple in Brentwood with two sons (one heading to college this fall, the other starting high school) — is seeking a warm, professional Chef to support their family twice a week.

Schedule:
Ideally Monday and Wednesday (or Thursday). The Chef will cook on-site two days per week but prepare meals to cover four days. No serving is required — items can be left for the family to finish or reheat as needed.

Ideal Candidate:
They’re looking for a Chef with excellent boundaries and a high emotional IQ — someone who is gracious, professional, and takes feedback well. Years ago, they hired a wonderful Chef who unfortunately was a bit too chatty, so this time, they’d love someone quietly confident who’s there to please and support the household.

Food Preferences:
Lunch is light and simple, and dinners are family-style and nourishing. Their teenage son eats 4–5 meals a day, so it’s helpful to have heartier staples like tortilla soup or proteins like chicken breasts stocked in the fridge.

Fun Extras:
They have a small farm in Ojai with a 1,000 sq ft garden and would love to incorporate ingredients from it whenever possible. There’s one dog and one cat — the cat mostly stays in one upstairs room, so allergy concerns are minimal.

To Apply:
Please send your updated resume, reference information, hourly rate, and availability.

Thanks so much!

$130,000 plus benefits | Weekdays only | Creative, high-energy role

We are seeking a full-time private chef to support a high-profile company owner in a dynamic entertainment office in Burbank. This is a unique opportunity for a creative, flexible chef who is passionate about global flavors, loves to experiment, and enjoys being part of a collaborative, upbeat environment.

About the role:

You will prepare breakfast, lunch, and a light afternoon snack (approximately 2.5 meals per day), Monday through Friday. All meals are to be cooked off-site in your own kitchen and delivered fully prepared each day. The Principal’s assistant will handle any necessary reheating. While there is currently no kitchen on site, there is a possibility that a commercial kitchen space may be rented nearby in the future. On occasion, you may be asked to prepare additional food for in-office holiday parties or small gatherings.

Culinary preferences:

The principal especially loves tapas, paella, and Szechwan flavors. He is eager to explore fusion cuisine and encourages creativity in the kitchen. This is an ideal position for a chef with a strong foundation in classic techniques who enjoys thinking outside the box and coming up with new ideas.

What we’re looking for:

• A chef who lives in or near Burbank
• Strong experience preparing fresh, healthy, flavorful meals (private chef experience a plus)
• Solid knowledge of global cuisines — particularly Spanish, Asian, and fusion styles
• Highly organized, efficient, and self-motivated
• A warm, positive, and energizing presence — you’ll be part of the office culture, so personality matters
• Comfortable working independently and delivering meals daily

Compensation and benefits:

• $62.50 hour, based on a 40-hour week (annualized to $130,000)
• Full-time salaried position with no overtime or weekend work
• Benefits include health insurance, two weeks of PTO, and mileage reimbursement

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a high-functioning creative office while doing what you love. If you’re a talented chef who thrives on innovation and enjoys bringing joy through food, we’d love to hear from you.

AIP Keto Meal Prep | 1–2 Deliveries per Week | Flexible Hours

A single gentleman in Santa Monica is seeking a chef for drop-off meal prep aligned with specific dietary guidelines — primarily AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) and Keto. Meals can be prepared off-site and delivered to his home 1–2 times per week.

The client typically eats two meals per day, seven days per week, and would like homemade bone broth included regularly. In about six weeks, his dietary plan will expand slightly to allow for items like smoothies, but the focus on clean, high-quality ingredients will remain. He is not picky — just looking for simple, nutrient-dense food made with care.

If you’re familiar with AIP or Keto and enjoy supporting health-conscious clients, this is a great opportunity with a thoughtful and appreciative individual.

To apply: Please reach out with your availability and hourly compensation request. Thank you!
