A Private Chef for Every Holiday

Every holiday on the calendar, cooked in your kitchen and served at your table — with full cleanup before the chef leaves. Holiday dates carry the 35% major-holiday premium and book out weeks to months ahead, so each holiday below lists its booking deadline.

Serving South Jersey, the Jersey Shore, Philadelphia and the Main Line, North and Central Jersey, and Myrtle Beach. For every rate and fee, see the full pricing breakdown.

Every Holiday Booking Includes

  • Menu planning built around your family's traditions
  • Grocery shopping done for you — billed at cost, no markup
  • Cooking in your kitchen, timed to your schedule
  • Plating and service at your table
  • Full kitchen cleanup — dishes, cookware, counters and stovetop washed and wiped down before the chef leaves, so your kitchen is left as clean as we found it.

Groceries are not part of the per-person rate. You pay exactly what the food costs, with no markup, and reimburse it with your final invoice. The rate covers the chef's time: menu work, shopping, cooking, service and cleanup.

Milestones and Occasions

Beyond the holidays, the same service runs for the milestones in between — birthdays, engagements, graduations, retirements and rehearsal dinners at the standard rate.
