Can the chef cook a vegetarian or vegan menu in Seattle?
Yes, and it is asked for here more than anywhere else we work: roughly one request in twelve in Seattle specifies a vegetarian or vegan menu, on top of the allergies and intolerances that come up everywhere.
Say it in your request rather than leaving it to the chat, and the proposals will arrive built that way instead of adapted afterwards — it changes the whole menu, not just one course. Mixed tables are routine too: a vegan main for two guests and seafood for the rest, served at the same time. You can confirm every detail with the chef before you pay.
There are 235 chefs available in Seattle right now. Fill out the form and the ones free on your date will send you menu proposals to compare.
Is there a maximum number of guests for a private Chef experience in Seattle?
No, there is no set maximum number of guests for a private Chef experience in Seattle. However, our services are typically oriented to more intimate gatherings with friends or family in homes with limited space for cooking and sitting. So, even if there's not a strict limit, groups generally don't exceed 15 people.
Does the private Chef cook at my house?
Yes. On the day of your experience, the private Chef you pick will go grocery shopping for fresh ingredients and prepare the menu you crafted right in your kitchen. If any part of the meal requires complex work or specific tools, your private Chef in Seattle may prepare a few things before arriving at your place.
Can I cook along with the personal Chef?
Absolutely! We highly recommend that you do. Join your private Chef and learn new cooking skills directly from an expert, or find new ways to experience and enjoy food by seeing their passion and hearing about their journey.
Are the ingredients for a private Chef service fresh?
Fresh ingredients are one of the top priorities of professional cooking. Each of our private Chefs in Seattle is dedicated to providing the same high-quality service standards provided by restaurants, but with the advantage of personalized treatment for you and your guests. After customizing your menu, the Chef will purchase what they need to make it come true.
Are drinks included in a private Chef service?
Drinks are not included in your booking by default. However, you can always reach an agreement with your Chef to include them as an "extra" in your request.

What Seattle asks its private chefs for
Get a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home, without lines or parking. Birthdays are behind more bookings in Seattle than anything else — they come up in nearly three requests in ten — followed by romantic dinners and gatherings with friends.
The menus lean local: Pacific seafood appears in more than one request in eight, and Seattle asks for vegetarian and vegan menus more often than any other city we work in. Nearly four in ten bookings are for one or two guests while three in ten are tables of seven to twelve, so the format stretches both ways.
