Contract Chef (Immediate Hire)

Contract Private Chef (5–10 Days/Month)

High-Performance Household | Opportunity to Grow

We are seeking a highly disciplined, detail-oriented contract private chef to support a high-performance household 5–10 days per month, with strong potential for the role to expand over time.

This is not a role for a “creative ego chef.”

Culinary Philosophy

Our food style is:

• Organic whenever possible

• High-protein, clean ingredients

• Comfort food elevated

• Gluten-free options readily available

• Flavor-forward but never heavy

If you believe consistency > creativity, you’ll thrive here.
