Personal Chef
This year for my grandson's 14th birthday I hired a personal chef to teach him life skills in cooking. He always had an interest. I found this great person on Thumbtack - Chef Sydney. It was a wonderful experience for him. Chef Sydney was delightful and make it easy for him to develop new skills cooking and to be creative. She was awesome at teaching and guiding him through these skills of handling a knife, measuring ingredients and using different types of recipes. Because of her background experience and her fabulous resume she knew how to draw out his talents. I feel very fortunate to have connected with her for this unique birthday experience.

We hired Chef Sydney for a private Bridal Shower dinner and it was the best decision for the weekend. She was responsive and so helpful in putting the menu together. She arrived on time and was an amazing part of the party. The food was phenomenal and the bride was really happy.

I recently hired Chef Sydney and the experience was nothing short of amazing! Not only was she punctual and personable but she made creating the menu as joint effort which was so fun and collaborative! The food was impeccable and the presentation was beautiful. She was thoughtful and respectful of my home and I so much appreciated what a great experience she made this. I will definitely be hiring her again!

FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?Pricing varies depending on the type of ingredients the customer is interested in. Negotiation is always an option! Drop off: Standard ingredients = $30-70/Person Premium Ingredients = $80-90/Person On Sight/Service needed= Standard ingredients= $50-70/Person Premium Ingredients = $80-120/Person Cooking classes are $80/Hour per person Recurring classes are discounted
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?It is always exciting for me to meet a new client. Each client is unique and I like to treat them for their individual desires. When working with a new customer my first question I ask is if the client has any food allergies. After we establish what can and cannot be cooked, I like to ask the client what their desired meal is, how many guests will be attending, and what type of ingredients are important to them. After this is established, I can make a menu that I hope will fulfill their vision. I am never offended if the client does not like what I’ve proposed, I will make necessary alterations in order to ensure their dream meal is achieved.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?I have over 3 years of college education in Culinary Arts, graduating on the president’s honor roll with a GPA of 3.8. My training has been through the various jobs and clients I have worked with, although I’m a lifelong learner and my training and education continues to grow everyday through reading, experimenting and traveling to other countries to broaden my palette.
