Chef Jeremy Enriquez

Private Chef in New York City

I’m a professional chef from Paris currently based in New York, where I work with a luxury catering company creating exceptional dining experiences for a discerning clientele.

After moving to New York five years ago, I refined my culinary style to meet the diverse tastes and expectations of my clients while remaining true to the elegance and techniques of French cuisine. My cooking is sophisticated, flavorful, and inspired by the many cultures and cuisines I have discovered throughout my travels.

Every experience has helped shape my approach to hospitality, teaching me the importance of personalization, attention to detail, and creating memorable moments around the table. Whether it's an intimate dinner or a special celebration, I carefully tailor each menu to reflect my clients' preferences and the unique character of every occasion.

My goal is to provide refined cuisine, impeccable service, and a seamless dining experience that allows guests to relax, connect, and enjoy an unforgettable meal.

For me, cooking is...

passion, creating special moments. Each dish invites connection, transforming meals into lasting memories filled with joy and bring people together.

I learned to cook at...

15 when I enrolled in Ferrandi Paris. That experience ignited my passion for culinary arts and creativity, that shaped my journey as a Chef.

A cooking secret...

Butter and Cream are the perfect combination, adding richness and depth to every dish. They elevate flavors and create indulgent textures in cooking.

An experience to be remembered. The food was like nothing I ever ate before. The presentation on a scale of one to ten, was a 15. Super attractive to look at, and even better to eat. Wow. We loved every bite and will definitely recommend him to our friends. Thanks

Our birthday party was a special success because of Chef Jeremy!

Chef Jeremy was super communicative throughout the process and we planned the menu in advance. He cooked and plated everything beautifully (fennel salad, whole branzino, tiramisu) - not one guest had a complaint. By the time he left, he had the kitchen perfectly cleaned. I would definitely recommend him.

We hired Jeremy for a girls weekend and we are so happy we did! We all have never had a private chef before and it was truly a lovely experience. Jeremy was great at communicating ahead of time, and worked with us a lot to curate a menu we all would enjoy. He was punctual, set up a lovely table with printed menus, and each dish he served was beautifully plated but also SO delicious. We got to try a lot of different things, each better than the last course. We were all so full by the end of the night. He also left the kitchen cleaner than he found it. Thank you for a memorable evening!!

Jeremy was great and made delicious meal for our daughter’s birthday. Highly recommend him!

Chef Jeremy was top notch! I have done a number of private chef dinners and his was the best!! He was extremely communicative, recommending dishes and asking questions about how exactly we wanted the night to flow. He arrived right on time, and was patient with my excitable dog. The food, simply put, was amazing! Me and my wife were arguing for a while after about which dish was the best, but it was so hard because they were all delicious. The eggplant dish and the beef daube were standouts in my opinion. Jeremy treated out house with great respect, cleaning well. He made the whole experience feel extremely special and high end. I highly recommend!!

Chef Jeremy was wonderful! He customized an omakase menu for my MIL’s birthday and was incredibly attentive and skilled. Everyone loved it!

Fantastic.

What an incredible experience with Chef Jeremy. Chef Jeremy was very responsive and provided multiple menu proposals before we decided on the one for our group. When Chef arrived we went over the timeline of the event and he got right to work. Each course was outstanding. We had a group of 10 women and Chef Jeremy was able to bring a delicious meal to us in our rental home. He was prepared, prompt, polite and very professional. It was an experience and meal we will never forget!

Could not recommend Take A Chef more - especially if you can get Jeremy! He was knowledgeable, attentive, and each course came out better than the last. It was such a treat having a private chef for the family and we’ll definitely do this again for our next special occasion.

Would recommend to all my friends and family!
