(No Menus, No Fuss, Just Great Food!

We’re helping a fantastic Bel Air family find a private chef for a recurring Tuesday night dinner—and if you’re neat, creative, and love to cook without someone breathing down your neck, this is a dream family!

Here’s the vibe:
Dinner is for 3 people (a couple and dad), typically served around 8:30 PM. Chef should arrive between 5:00–6:00 PM.

What they’re looking for:
A culinary artist who can cook high-end, comforting, seasonal meals

Someone who doesn’t need direction—just come in, cook, and wow them

No menus or planning meetings needed—just go to town and surprise them!

A very tidy chef who cleans up after themselves. The housekeeper should never be left cleaning up the kitchen (huge priority!)

They don’t like vegan or plant-based cuisine. Butter, meat, dairy, real ingredients only, please

They love everything from a killer Caesar salad and steak dinner to a caviar and sushi dinner. You should have a big repertoire!

Dinner should include a plated appetizer, main, and dessert

No deep-cleaning required, just the basics: clean pans, counters, and take out the trash if needed

Part-Time Personal Chef | Hermosa Beach Couple (Drop-Off Meals plus Occasional Onsite Cooking)
Seasonal, organic, soft-diet focused | Ideal for a local chef who loves nourishing others through food

We are helping a truly lovely couple in Hermosa Beach find a compassionate and creative part-time chef to support them during a challenging time. The wife is currently undergoing cancer treatment and needs nourishing, gentle meals prepared with care — ideally by someone who is local, familiar with South Bay’s best farmers markets and shops, and passionate about cooking with fresh, seasonal, organic ingredients.

This is a drop-off-based position with potential for light in-person cooking once or twice a month. The couple has a fully stocked kitchen and is ready to start working with someone as soon as the right fit is found.

What They’re Looking For:

• Snack prep: muffins, quick breads, smoothies, protein shakes, pancakes
• Gentle, healing meals prepared off-site and delivered in clean, reusable containers
• Occasional Sunday night dinners cooked at their home — especially light fish meals like salmon, halibut, or sole

Dietary Notes:

• No garlic, onions, chilis, peppers, eggplant, or avocado oil
• She is allergic to wheat and eggs
• He is not allergic and may eat a broader range
• Vegetables need to be soft or puréed due to a current soft-diet requirement
• Protein intake is a priority

• Open to tofu scrambles, smoothies, and other creative soft high-protein meals
• They enjoy fish, red meat, poultry, pork, and hearty one-pot meals
•
Ideal Candidate:

• Based in or near Hermosa Beach
• Knowledgeable about soft-diet cooking and anti-inflammatory, healing food
• Warm, intuitive, and respectful of the client’s sensitivities and evolving needs
• Experienced with organic, whole foods and flexible with dietary restrictions
• Happy to collaborate, offer ideas, and adapt as needed

This is a deeply meaningful role for a chef who wants to make a real difference in someone’s life through thoughtful, nourishing food. The family is ready to meet candidates and create a rhythm that supports health and comfort through the summer and beyond.
