Seeking an experienced, polished, and flexible Private Chef for a lovely young high-net-worth family based
in Beverly Hills. The household includes two parents, one toddler, and a baby on the way. Family and
friends may occasionally join for meals with advance notice.
This is primarily a lunch-and-dinner position, with occasional weekend brunch. Holidays will be included in
the chef’s schedule. Occasional travel to the family’s other home may be required. Additional travel is not
expected.
The chef will oversee all culinary and kitchen-related aspects of the home, helping to create a hotel-like
environment where the family’s preferred foods, beverages, snacks, morning items, freezer items, and
serving pieces are always thoughtfully stocked and available.
Responsibilities include menu planning, grocery shopping or coordination of provisioning, meal
preparation, kitchen organization, and maintaining a clean, tidy, and sanitary workspace. The chef is
expected to clean as they go and maintain the refrigerators, freezers, pantry, dry goods, and culinary
storage areas.
This is a fully staffed, cohesive, and busy household. The chef must be comfortable collaborating with
housekeepers, the nanny, and the family manager to ensure a smooth and well-organized household
environment. While support is available when needed, the chef is expected to take ownership of the
kitchen and culinary areas.
The family’s previous long-term chef will provide a detailed food preference list. Meals should be
tailored to each principal’s individual preferences, with flexibility and variety offered regularly. The family
enjoys Mexican, American, Brazilian, Italian, and Asian cuisines, among others.
The chef will also collaborate with a weekly nutritionist and will be responsible for entering at least one
principal’s meals into a digital food diary. Comfort with nutrition-focused cooking, portion awareness, and
healthy meal preparation is a plus.
Collaboration with the nanny on toddler and baby food is required. Knowledge of, or willingness to learn,
age-appropriate children’s meals and baby food preparation is important. Patience and ease around
children are a plus.
Flexibility with meal timing is required, as one principal commutes to work and schedules may shift. The
ideal candidate will be calm, organized, discreet, proactive, and professional.
The home has an easygoing but polished atmosphere. The principals value privacy during mealtimes,
though light, efficient service is appreciated when appropriate.
