How much does a private chef cost? What changes the price

Pricing is set per event

A private chef quote is built from the menu, the number of guests and the date. Two dinners with the same guest count can cost very different amounts, depending on the ingredients and how many courses are served.

What moves the price

Guest count. Number of courses. Ingredient choices, such as fish, prime cuts or seasonal specialties. Whether you want plated service or family style. Travel outside the New York area. Holiday and weekend dates.

What is usually included

Menu planning, shopping, prep, cooking in your kitchen and cleanup. Servers, rentals and décor are separate and can be coordinated.
