 It's my first time, so be gentle I'm new to this, so have a little patience, please. I can't believe I've been in the business for almost 7 years and have basically done it all "on my own." Not any more! My question pertains to a new career path that I am considering. I'm interested in becoming a private chef, stateside or overseas, and not quite sure where to start. I religiosly check the job sites on the net, but the pickins are slim. I've worked in a lot of different culinary areas...restaurant, club, corporate foodservice, food stylist, catering, and television appearances. I currently reside in central Illinois, and not quite sure where to go with this. Any advice?   |

 Hi there Wildcat Chef, i'll be reading the responses to this post carefully b/c i have been thinking of personal cheffing aswell, but haven't found much info beyond sending out flyers in my area. America has a national private chefs association, i'll try to find the link for you. Good luck and welcome. |

 Thanks for the Welcome Isa, PollyG, Nicko, Cape Chef; Thanks for the welcome! I can't believe I've been doing this on my own for the past six years...this is great! I've checked the archives for info on personal cheffing. Lots of good info! Not sure what I should do yet. Looking forward to plenty of discussions.  Rick |
