The life of a private chef can be very lucrative, gratifying, and hugely creative. It can also be crushingly lonely, even absurd.
Many private chefs come from the higher end of the restaurant world, having burned out on long days, longer nights, stress, zero work life balance, often disillusioned with the industry. A calmer but odd world awaits those fortunate enough to secure a position for a billionaire and their extended entourage.
A private chef is only as good as his or her ability to be just that. Private is the keyword. NDA agreements are signed and honoured. You do not reveal household squabbles to Tatler or the Daily Mail, nor do you mind poaching sea bass for the cats or making carrot cake for the horses. You become an integral and trusted part of someone else’s family. The one thing this is all about is trust.
A dinner for four could turn into twenty, with the addition of half of the guests suddenly becoming vegan or unexpectedly acquiring any number of food allergies, often imagined. The pooch may require hand chopped A5 Wagyu and Iceburg water after his walkies and it’s not uncommon to hear of private jets fetching caviar from Paris… for the cats.
It’s all in a day’s work.
