Chef Aaron Pryear

Personal Chef In Naples

Growing up along the coastal parts of Alabama, I discovered my love for food through the abundance of fresh seafood, farmer's markets, and butcher shops. With the guidance of my mother and grandmother, I developed a passion for cooking that led me to pursue my culinary education at Johnson and Wales University. For nearly two decades, I honed my craft as a Banquet Chef at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where I gained invaluable experience working in restaurants and managing culinary events. Over time, I discovered that I had a gift for teaching, which has become an essential part of my culinary journey. Through sharing my knowledge and talent with others, I have found fulfillment in pursuing my dreams of cooking and teaching.

For me, cooking is...

A cooking secret...

Create food that you enjoy cooking. Respect the nature of the food that you are preparing.

Aaron was amazing. Gifted chef who was very responsive and engaging. Food was fabulous.

Excellent dinner! Chef Aaron had everyone raving about the meal at the end of the night! Thank you again and looking forward to having you again in the future!

A wonderful evening

Amazing. Professional with amazing food and great presentation. Accommodated my guests complex food allergies in stride with no fuss!

Chef Aaron prepared a delicious French meal for us. We so enjoyed the evening and loved his delicious food.

I can’t speak highly enough about Chef Aaron. The meal he prepared for us was absolutely exquisite. The depth of flavor and the attention to detail was off the charts. Best of all, the meal was prepared by someone who loves what he does and is a master of his craft. We thoroughly enjoyed every course he prepared for us, and marveled at the synergy he created. In the end, the whole was more than the sum of the parts, and we were left utterly satisfied, smiling, at marveling at the experience. As if that was enough, Chef Aaron cleaned up afterwards with the same incredible attention to detail. One would have never known he was ever there, and I dare say the kitchen was cleaner after he left than before he arrived. If you are looking for a chef that will go above and beyond your expectations, prepare a meal that will make you feel loved, and dazzle you with attention to detail, do yourself a favor and choose Chef Aaron. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Chef.

Chef Aaron was fantastic! There is no one better. His prep, presentation, quality and taste of all he prepared was second to none. To top it off his attention to the details of clean up at the end was very impressive and appreciated.

Chef Aaron was very professional and personable! The food was exquisite! Thank you again for making our celebration so perfectly memorable!

I use TakeAChef to find chefs in areas I'm traveling. I was specifically looking for an anniversary experience. Out of the bids I received, I chose Chef Aaron. His menu option better fit the versatility I was looking for. Chef Aaron is an amazing chef! He curated a menu specifically for my husband and I and even brought personalized menus. I'm a foodie and my husband loves lobster. I can't choose a favorite dish. Everything from the appetizer to the dessert was a 10! It was restaurant quality service at home. He cleaned everything he used. The next time I'm in Southwest FL, I will definitely be looking to book him again!

Definitely an experience everyone should try!

Chef Aaron communicated with me throughout the process before he came. He adjusted the menu to make it perfect for my husband’s birthday. He was punctual and prepared an amazing, delicious menu that exceeded our expectations. The food was so delicious that we are planning to book him again soon.

Chef Aaron was amazing. I enjoyed working with him through the entire process. He was extremely helpful and detail oriented which made for a great night. The dishes he prepared were delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed everything he created. I would highly recommend Chef Aaron to anyone interested in a special food experience.

We had an amazing four course dinner at our vacation rental home for my birthday! It was so delicious and beautifully presented! Chef Aaron worked with me from the beginning stages of planning. Communication was great and he took care of everything from set up to clean up. We were four adults and he so kindly made my toddler her own portion (suited to her tastes). Everything was fresh and smelled and tasted amazing. It was like going to a five star restaurant in our own home. Great way to spend a birthday or any other time too!
