What is the difference between a personal chef and a private chef?
A private chef is employed by one individual or family full time, and often lives in, preparing up to three meals per day.
A personal chef serves several clients, usually one per day, and provides multiple meals that are custom-designed for the clients’ particular requests and requirements. These meals are packaged and stored, so that the client may enjoy them at his or her leisure in the future.
Most people employ a personal chef because they don’t have the time, desire or know-how to cook the food they want to eat each day. This could include single people, married couples, busy professionals, seniors, new parents, those with a hectic family life, people needing a specific diet or anyone who is tired of eating out or cooking for themselves every night.
