Private chef in Palm Springs — common questions

Do you have private chefs in Palm Springs yet?

We are now taking requests in Palm Springs. Send yours with your dates, group size and budget, and we match you personally with a professional private chef who can cook at your rental. You only pay once you have picked a menu you like, so there is no risk in asking.

Can we book a chef during festival weekends?

Yes, but request early. Those weekends are the busiest of the year.

Can dinner be served poolside?

Yes. Mention it in your notes and the chef plans service outdoors.

How much does a private chef cost in Palm Springs?

You set the budget on the request form, per person or for the whole group, and chefs send menus built to fit it. Price depends on group size, the number of courses and the style of service, and family-style dinners cost less per head than plated ones. Taxes and fees are shown before you pay.

Does the chef clean up afterwards?

Yes. Shopping, prep, cooking, serving and full kitchen cleanup are all included, so the kitchen is left as the chef found it. That matters in a rental where you are on the hook for a cleaning deposit.
