Private Chef Olympic Valley — how our service works
We begin with a quick planning call to learn about your group, tastes, and dietary needs. From there, we build a custom menu, shop for fresh ingredients, arrive early to prep in your kitchen, serve at an easy pace, and finish with a tidy kitchen and labeled leftovers on request. If you’re new to hiring a chef, here’s a simple look at how it works; for an overview of services and availability, start on the homepage.
