Private Chef

Private Family Chef — Riverdale, NYC (3 days/week, M/W/Fri)

Large growing family in Riverdale seeking a warm, talented private chef to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner 3 days per week (Mon/Wed/Fri — Fridays include extra prep for Shabbat).

Menu: Primarily vegetarian with some fish, chicken, and occasionally beef. We love global flavors — Israeli, Mediterranean, Thai, Indian and beyond. Healthy, natural, wholesome, low-fat/heart-healthy meals that are flavorful but kid-friendly.

Role: Breakfast, lunch and dinner 3 days/week (thinking Mon, Wed, Fridays), with special prep on Fridays for Shabbat. Shabbat prep includes dinner for Friday night, and lunch for Saturday. Would like to keep the fridge stocked with things like fresh homemade almond milk, homemade energy/lactation bars, ready-to-go smoothies and salads, and other grab-and-go nourishing food for a busy household. Special focus on nutrient-dense, nourishing meals to support pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

Looking for someone who is passionate about natural, whole-food cooking — not just executing recipes but genuinely into nourishing, ingredient-driven food. Experience cooking for families, comfortable with a variety of palates from young kids to adults. Kosher kitchen experience a large plus (or willingness to learn our kashrut practices).

⁠Competitive pay, flexible/collaborative household. Please send experience, a sample menu/photos of food, and references.
