Private Chef Eileen Jacobson

I am a seasonal resident of Breckenridge Colorado, spending my summers as the Executive Chef of a catering company on the island of Nantucket, MA. Having received my formal training in Charleston, SC, I have lived and worked all over the United States and Canada. My food passion is driven by taking classic international comfort foods and refining and elevating them for a more fine dining experience.

Our experience with Chef Eileen was one we won’t ever forget. We were celebrating several Birthdays at our home in Breckenridge and this was the perfect way to do it. The food and presentation were superb, unique and unforgettable from beginning to end. I cant wait to have her again!

Eileen and Mike are amazing! They made our Birthday dinner celebration way more incredible than I ever imagined! The food was divine (I highly suggest the lamb and cauliflower purée - to die for) they were so easy to work with and they are the kind of people you just want to hang out with! If you’re looking for a fabulous evening where they do ALL the work and make it look easy, then this is your jam!

Eileen was wonderful, she cooked for a group of 7 adults and expertly navigated several interruptions due to small kids waking up and needing their parents attention. The food was delicious, communication was great, and the overall experience was excellent.

Chef Eileen was easy to communicate with and her and her team prepared an awesome meal for our group. They were friendly and professional and left their workspace cleaner than when they arrived. Definitely recommend!!
