Private Chef Incline Village — how our service works
We begin with a short planning call to learn about your group, tastes, and any dietary needs. From there, we build a custom menu, shop for fresh ingredients, arrive early to prep in your kitchen, serve at a comfortable pace, and finish with a tidy kitchen and labeled leftovers on request. If you’re new to hiring a chef, here’s a quick primer on how it works, and you can always start on the homepage for an overview of services.
Great fits for Incline Village stays
- Arrival-night dinners so you can skip the grocery run
- Cozy family-style evenings after beach days, hikes, or ski laps
- Small celebrations—birthdays, proposals, milestone weekends
- Menus that accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and kids
Kitchen layouts vary by home and condo; we adapt menus to the space and can bring select equipment when helpful.
