Can a chef cook Christmas dinner in a ski rental?
Yes. Chefs cook in rentals in Vail, Breckenridge, Aspen, Telluride and Steamboat. Include the address so the right chefs reply.
You can hire a private chef to cook Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Eve dinner in your Colorado home or vacation rental. The chef handles the turkey, sides, dessert and every dish afterwards, but holiday dates are the first to fill, so book weeks ahead.
Why book a chef for the holidays?
Holiday dinner usually means one person in the kitchen from dawn while everyone else visits. A chef cooks the traditional meal, or something completely different, and the host sits down with the family. In a ski rental it also saves you hauling a holiday's worth of groceries up I-70.
How early should you book a holiday chef?
Book Thanksgiving and Christmas three to six weeks ahead. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve are the busiest nights of the year in the mountain towns, and chefs commit early.
How much does a holiday chef cost?
Our recommended rates are $75 to $100 per person family-style and $75 to $150 plated. Holiday dates and mountain travel sit toward the upper end. You set your budget and chefs propose menus that fit.
Can the chef do a traditional Thanksgiving menu?
Yes: turkey, stuffing, gravy, pies, whatever your family expects. Name the dishes that matter and the chef builds around them.
How does booking a chef through TheKitchenTable work?
You send one request with your date, guest count, address and budget. Local chefs read it and send you menus written for your group. You compare them, message the chefs, pick the one you like and pay securely online. Requesting menus is free and there is no obligation.
