How to choose the right chef for me?
To find Household Staff for you, we first need to identify your needs. It's also true for personal chefs. Would you like an everyday chef or a chef for occasional events or special events etc...
Would you want a specific cuisine? For example, an Asian chef, French chef or a chef who specializes in molecular cuisine? If you want a chef who specializes in a certain cuisine, it’s best to select a chef with at least 3 – 5 years of experience focusing on a cuisine.
If you want a versatile chef who can respond to your desires and be available any time, you should select a private chef who will know and understand your taste and food palate and who can adapt quickly. The advantage of a private chef is that they will be at your service and will be proactive.
To find a chef who suits you, they must be able to understand and follow your requests. If you have a particular diet, it is necessary that your future chef has the necessary knowledge and expertise to prepare meals following your dietary requirements and of course it must be delicious and flavorful.
