Private Chefs: Finding the Perfect Fit
Finding a private chef to manage your kitchen and prepare your meals can be challenging, given the number of unqualified applicants who enjoy cooking but are immensely unprepared to handle the full range of demanding responsibilities of working in a private household. Depending on a household’s needs, a private chef needs to be able to cater to specific cuisine preferences and dietary restrictions, prepare meals on demand or pre-made gourmet options for reheating, adhere to household schedules, maintain confidentiality, handle demanding entertainment schedules, work in additional homes, yachts, or private jets, and manage other household staff when needed. Knowing how to adequately assess a chef candidate’s training and experience to determine if they are a good fit for your household can be a daunting task.

With over 60 years of experience matching families with their ideal domestic staff members, Aunt Ann's understands the importance of finding the perfect fit when it comes to hiring a private chef.

To ensure they recommend only the most qualified private chefs to their clients, Aunt Ann’s employs a highly interpersonal screening process that goes beyond application reviews and reference checks. By meeting with each client in person to learn about their lifestyle, staffing needs, budget, cuisine preferences, dietary requirements, and specific preferences for a private chef, the agency’s team members can perfectly match household personalities to excellent private chefs.
