They not only prepare meals for the household, but can also for events like dinner parties. And if you have dietary restrictions, it is ideal to hire a private chef who specialized in that aspect of nutrition.

​Most private chefs live in their client’s residences. They are always on-call and may work at odd hours. In large households, they work with other domestic staff.

What is the difference between a chef and a cook?

Having a chef or cook in a private home is getting more and more popular, because of clients' busy schedules and not having the time to prepare meals for themselves and their families. There are various differences between being a chef or a cook.

Cooks usually enjoy cooking and are good at it however they do not have cooking qualifications and the span of knowledge compared to a qualified chef. 


A qualified chef has graduated from culinary school and has a wide range of knowledge of different cuisines, cooking methods and flavours. Numerous chefs travel around the globe to learn about different types of cuisines, ingredients and cooking styles.

​Popular cuisines are Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, Vegetarian, Chinese, French, and many more. Several clients who request a private chef ask for someone with either previous private household experience, yacht experience, experience working for 5-star hotels, restaurants and/or Michelin star restaurant holders. 


As a chef, it is important to be creative, flexible, patient, strong team-player and have the ability to work under pressure. Duties and responsibilities of a private chef generally consist of but not limited to:


  • Understanding exactly what their clients needs and preferences are
