Personalization of Menu

• Chefs work in restaurants, planning and supervising meal preparation, developing menus and sometimes creating original recipes. When you go to a restaurant, you have to choose from the chef's menu. When you have your own private chef, your kitchen becomes a restaurant kitchen and everything your chef cooks is made to order. You can eat whatever you want, whenever you want it. You can allow your chef to be creative and surprise you, or be precise about your requirements for each meal.
  
  

Entertaining

• A private chef can also provide valued service if you like to entertain a lot at home.
  
  With shopping and food preparation in the hands of your private chef, you are free to spend your time networking with, or simply enjoying the company of your guests.
  
  

Professional Knowledge

• If your kitchen is a mystery to you, your private chef can consult with you about the equipment and tools you need to make the types of meals you want to serve. Your chef will also consult with you about your budget before shopping for ingredients. Because your private chef won't have restaurant overhead expenses, she can prepare gourmet meals at a discount over eating out. A private chef can take the guesswork out of what to eat everyday and create nutritious meals that your children will like. Your private chef can also help you stick to a diet by preparing delicious packed lunches.
  
  

Considerations

• Your personal budget can determine the quality of service that you'll get from a private chef. Private chefs, in contrast to personal chefs, live on premises and prepare several meals per day. As an employer, you'll have to consider area wages to determine a fair salary for your chef. You'll also have to consider the cost of benefits, such as health insurance, that you plan to offer.
