Job Description

A private family on Singer Island is seeking an experienced Part-Time Private Chef to prepare fresh, healthy, flavorful family-style meals for approximately 5–6 people, including two children.

This is initially a temporary 2–3 month assignment with the potential to transition into a permanent position for the right candidate.

The focus is on fresh, healthy, flavorful family-style cooking rather than formal fine dining. The chef should be able to prepare wholesome, delicious meals from scratch using fresh, high-quality ingredients while comfortably accommodating several dietary needs, including kosher meat, gluten-free, dairy-free, diabetic-friendly, and healthy clean eating.

The family enjoys a variety of cuisines, including Mediterranean, Indian, and Thai, as well as fresh fish, roasted chicken, soups, salads, vegetable-forward dishes, and other healthy family-style meals. Ingredients should be fresh and seasonal, with organic products used when available. The family prefers fresh herbs, spices, quality meats and seafood, homemade sauces, minimal processed foods, and no canned foods or pre-made sauces whenever possible.
