Chef Jeremiah Michael

Private Chef In Palm Springs

Creative, talented, passionate and hard working chef with 10 years experience in professional kitchens, I have been lucky enough to work with talented chefs in the Middle East, South Africa and the United States, practicing my skills and sharing my passion for fine produce. Entertaining is also an art and I enjoy it very much.

For me, cooking is...

is a passion that has become an art form and nourishing clients with food is one of my greatest joys.

I learned to cook at...

at a young age while watching my mom and aunts who were all phenomenal cooks even without training.

A cooking secret...

respecting all ingredients no matter how humble, and flavor, flavor, flavor!

Chef Jeremiah was beyond accommodating! His food was not only beautiful but it was delicious! Would definitely book him again for our next event!

Jeremiah was fantastic! He was very communicative about planning the menu for my sister’s birthday dinner. He arrived on time with all his prep done. His food was incredible and he even served our kids on their own plates. He presented each course after he served and everything was delightful. Highly recommend!

Jeremiah was an absolutely amazing chef, he had the perfect amount of interaction and laughed along with our jokes, every time he started cooking something new the house would smell incredible. I wish we weren’t away on vacation for this because I would love to have him cook for us again and again! Thank you for everything :)

Jeremiah was a huge success for our four birthday guests. It was truly a special night with amazing food, presentation, relaxation and celebration. Thank you Jeremiah!

Chef Jeremiah was awesome and the meal was everything I imagined. Chef made my birthday a wonderful event.

Jeremiah was perfect for our dinner party! The food was delicious, he was very responsive as we were planning the menu and accommodated last minute changes for us. He answered all my questions very timely and I was overall incredibly impressed with his service and the quality of the food he prepared. We would definitely use him again!

Jeremiah was very communicative before the dinner date. He was very accommodating for those who had food preferences including separate dishes for those who ate vegan and those who didn't eat seafood. The alternative dishes were just as good as the primary dishes, and he even made extra for the others to try. He was very punctual. Each of the dishes were very good and beautifully presented. He provided a custom menu and described each dish as it was served. The kitchen was clean when he left. Would definitely recommend.

Had a great time with Jeremiah.

Jeremiah was fantastic! We had a group of 8 in Palm Springs to celebrate my mom’s birthday and together we curated a very yummy menu. He was very communicative before the event and left our kitchen spotless. Thanks for an awesome night!

Jerimiah was wonderful and worked with our airbnb kitchen very well. The food was plated beautifully. The food tasted delciious! Everyone enjoyed it!

Hands down an incredible chef. Not only is he amazing at what he does but he is a very thoughtful person. I couldn’t have asked for a better chef to take care of my fiancé and I on our proposal night. Thank you for being so incredible!

What an incredible dinner! We were so impressed by all the little details in addition to the menu items. Just such a beautiful experience

Chef Jeramiiah is so talented, our meals were beautiful and delicious. He was very nice and professional and made my birthday dinner very special. thank you chef!

Jeremiah did a great job! Was friendly, the food was delicious, and he cleaned up during our delicious dessert.

Great food! Wonderful clean up! Over all great service!

Jeremiah was amazing!! Great communication. Was right on time. Made the night extra special with a special bride cake for our beautiful bride to be. We have never had better food with better service. Loved every minute of the experience!

Jeremiah and his team were professional and an absolute pleasure to be around. We will be booking him again the next time we make a trip out to palm springs. 10/10 would recommend it!

Jeremiah was amazing! 10/10 recommend. Very nice, great detail, and great attitude

Jeremy was very thoughtful and detail oriented. We had put together to celebrate my friend who enjoys cooking and sent Jeremy some pictures of his dishes and his instagram. He was able to put together a menu that suited my friend’s cooking interest and a fun “cooking demo” where we worked with him to make our dinner including a mystery basket a la the show chopped. We all had a great time with Jeremy and it was a highlight of our trip.

Worth every penny, in fact, would have double. We’ll be securing Jeremy for future dinners. As well as amazing food, he allowed our guests and I to become part of the experience with a natural humility. Thank you so much Chef Jeremy, we’ll be seeing you again, no doubt.
