Private Chef Northstar — how our service works
We start with a short planning call to learn about your group, tastes, allergies, and the vibe you want for the evening. From there we craft a custom menu, shop for fresh ingredients, arrive early to prep in your kitchen, serve at a comfortable pace, and wrap with a tidy kitchen and labeled leftovers on request. If you’re new to the process, here’s a quick look at how it works, and you can always begin on the homepage for an overview of services.
Great fits for Northstar stays
- Arrival-night dinners so you can skip the grocery run and unpack
- Cozy family-style evenings after ski days or bike park laps
- Small celebrations—birthdays, proposals, milestone weekends
- Menus that accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and kids
Staying slopeside? Village kitchens vary; we’ll adapt menus to the space and can bring select equipment when needed.

Service That Fits
