We are looking for a warm and creative chef who is excited to make family dinners, Monday-Thursday for the nicest family.

There are a few food sensitivities so even though they love to eat almost everything, having the sensitivity to work around those culinary hurdles will be important. They love fresh everything and will be so excited to see what you bring from their local farmer’s market. The parents like to have dinner on the table at 6pm. They do not need formal service as they accommodating their three children ranging in ages from 4 – 13 years old.

This family is not hung up on having someone with 20 years of experience, it is more about finding the right personality match and being on the same page with them on their food habits. Please have graduated from culinary school and also have spent time in a Gjelina type kitchen!

The family is offering: $250-300/day

We have a very high profile couple who would like a female chef every Saturday to cook for them and their friends. Some Saturdays may be just the couple with extended family, there could be some parties as well. Days will be long at least 10 hours per day. Normally the principals eat health conscious, organic, no salt and no spice so we really need someone who understands healthy cooking. Please be dog friendly . This chef is expected to know formal service as you will be serving and cleaning up anything that you are involved in. Only candidates with minimum 3-5 years of solid high profile private home experience with one family will be considered.

We have a very special client whose husband is dealing with multiple health issues (dementia, diabetes) and is in need of some Chef help. We don’t have a schedule yet. Our guess is that the work will primarily be M-F, lunches and dinner. It will likely be a mix of drop off and cooking in the home, i.e. when guests stop by. It could be that Chef drops off a few days a week (leaving food for all five days). Truly, it’s all a bit up in the air. Our client is figuring things out as they go. This is a tricky position in that our client can be very difficult due to the dementia so the ideal candidate is very patient and empathetic and has experience cooking for a client with health issues. If you are a talented experienced & empathetic Chef who has cooked for a similar client — please reach out with your hourly rate and availability. Thank you!

Drop Off Chef: Wonderful family in the Palisades is interested in hiring a drop-off Chef who can cook dinners five nights a week. The focus is on healthy nutritious meals for Mom/Dad because the Nanny primarily cooks for the three children; however, it would be terrific to find a Chef willing to prepare some “extras” (i.e. homemade granola, healthy banana bread, kitchen staples etc.) to round out the fridge. We are assuming drop-off’s will happen twice a week. We are looking for candidates who have professional culinary training and have minimum three years experience as a drop-off private Chef. A background in nutrition would be a great bonus! If interested, please let us know what days you’re free to drop-off + your hourly rate. Thank you!

Our very healthy, “foodie” clients are looking for a healthy professional private chef . They would appreciate someone that has a large repertoire – but they are not that adventurous in their food desires. The wife is 75% pescatarian and the husband is 50%.
This couple travels every Spring, Winter, and Summer, so you will probably have 6 to 8 weeks off a year. They are requesting lunch and dinner the hours would be somewhere around 10:30 or 11 till 8 Wednesday – Sunday- so mid week off!
The kids and grandchildren join them one day a week on the week-end – inthe summer they spend time in Malibu.
We need someone with an easy going personality – that will let things flow off their back.
Sunday- Wednesday (dinner served around 7:30).
Salary DOE.

Super cool couple with one young child is looking for a private Chef. Mom is vegan, Dad eats meat and daughter is fussy, but while its true you will be cooking for different palettes, overall — this is an EASY kind family to work for. They don’t need anyone to cook/serve/clean up — it’s all about delivering healthy simple meals. You are welcome to cook in their kitchen or in your own. They used to have a Chef who dropped off 3-4 proteins and 3-4 sides per week and that worked really well. They are really open-minded and flexible with hours/days. They are simply looking for a wonderful cook who lives relatively close who is willing to come up with some delicious food for their family at least a few days a week (could be one or two drop off’s). If interested please reach out with your schedule/availability and pricing. Thank you!
