Personal Chef in Austin Texas offering meal prep services. This video talks about what’s needed, the process and the types of menus my clients choose. #PersonalChef #Shorts #EasyRecipes #AustinTexas
I loved my weekends cooking for a college. I had the entire industrial kitchen to myself to put out meals vs during the week where everyone was fighting for space to work
Having others around you can be really fun too, I am a personal chef as well and really enjoy the parties and events. It is definitely more stressful than on-going client meals tho.
Couscous is a traditional North African dish made from semolina flour and water. It's a staple food in many countries, including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya.
I was wanted to make high protein dishes for a body builder, but the drive was long to get there and timing was bad. I didn’t have the opportunity to do so. Oh well!
Holy crap, I've been thinking about hiring a personal chef, but I don't know where to even begin with that search. Where do you go to find clients and how much do you expect to make for a week's worth of meal prep?
I used to work for a lawyer. Both him and his wife were attorneys, and they had little kids, so they hired out everything to try to have some time to spend with the kids. They had a personal chef, laundry service (that even put it away in your closet for you), cleaning services, lawn services, etc. At the time I thought it was nice, but then I realized those kids will never learn basic life skills like cooking and cleaning.
kewl, make sure you allow the meal prep to cool properly before you snap those tight fitting lids, you'll cut down on the condensation inside the container and lower the risk of spoiling the food or poisoning the wealthy employer
I was an unexpected private chef for a while. I'd just show up and cook at peoples houses and then clean the kitchen. The clients would often interrupt me by asking stupid questions like "Who are you?" or "How did you get into my house?". Nobody every asked how I was doing or what I'd be cooking for dinner.
@@codyconnell6510i never knew this was a thing, can you give me a rough number of what to expect to pay. Maybe a week meal prep to impress an SO or something like that
my grandmother was a personal chef XD one day she was running late for her client (who wanted rotisserie chicken) since she was late she stopped by publix and the client called the next day "OMG that was the best chicken ive ever had, whatever you did keep doing it!" so for 3 years my grandmother made 6 figures to pick up a chicken from publix XD
I had a friend get a personal chef for me 10 years ago when I was in the ICU and rehab because of septic shock. My husband and I had 2 kids under 10 and husband needed to work full time. My church helped for 2 months. I was stuck in bed with black toes and we struggled. When Chef Greg came he was the cool Uncle I never knew I needed. He did comfort food, made snacks with the kids and made sure we had leftovers for the week ends. He still checks in with us and is the first to show up with dinner when I have to have surgery following my sepsis.
Wishing you the very best of health going forward. Good trustworthy friends are invaluable - you must be a kind person yourself as I’ve found we usually get what we give.
That sounds terrible. So they work you constantly with no variables? Do they also provide dipers and a person who changes them so you can keep working ?
I live in Austin too! Not a personal chef but I clean houses for some very wealthy people who hire cooks for their get togethers. It’s kinda like catering but not quite that scale. Besides going to clean their houses on a regular weekly basis they also hire me for those parties on weekends so I can help serve the food and clean up afterwards. They pay REALLY well so I can only assume you make good money too. Your food looks delicious and beautiful to boot. Good luck man!
I hired a Michelin star chef for my girlfriend's birthday. He left his restaurant and started doing personal engagements since covid. He came down from NYC, did all the shopping at the local farmers markets. And made an unbelievable 6 course meal. Price wise it was reasonable for what you were getting. Would highly recommend.
@8th account the fact that you believe people who can afford a personal chef are too busy to cook and everyone else has plenty of time proves you know nothing about the world. What are you, 8 years old?
If I was rich, the first thing I would outsource is cooking. I cannot imagine the amazing feeling of just having delicious, homecooked meals ready for you. Worth every penny for them, I'm sure!
I hired a personal chef for my sister's 50th birthday it was wonderful she really enjoyed it she picked the formal sit down dinnerwith 5 courses. Her choices were a buffet style party, sit down dinner or Meals for 30 days packed and put in freezer. The only downside is I lived too far away to participate in the party.
Hey chef loves your work there but believe me there is nothing called isreali couscous or flafel or hummus as all of those are Arabian food Check moroco for couscous Check Egypt and Syria for falafel Check lebanon , Syria & Palestine for hummus
I’m in my first year of culinary school and I just got fired from my first ever commercial kitchen gig. The restaurant is brand new and I had disagreements with how management ran things and when voicing my opinion I was belittled and felt disrespected, i’ve never been amazing with authority but i’ve never been fired before so it was definitely a shock and feels like a huge set back, i absolutely loved the work I was doing despite my disagreements with the management. I’ve always wanted to work for myself and pursue something along the lines of private catering/chef work so this was very inspiring to see and came in perfect timing (I’m also a born and raised Austinite so the fact that your so close to home makes me feel even more ambitious to pursue this path!) Thank u for sharing and I will proceed to go down a rabbit hole of your videos keep it up ☮️💜
I don’t know how you feel- disappointed or failed, but reading your comment means to me you are on the right path. You just happened to do a hard left turn when you least expected it. They did you a favor. Now step up and move forward!
Just a correction, there is no such thing as an Israeli couscous, couscous is coming from north Africa and the Jews who used to live there took it with them, which doesn’t make it theirs 🙄 Stop the colonization even in the kitchen 😒
How much do you charge and do you usually go by hourly or daily rates? Or would you even consider doing monthly payment? Just curious how much a service like this would go for.
Couscous is an indigenous north African heritage and traditional dish. It is not Israeli. As a digital creator you have a duty to say the truth. Do better.
@@kansihorozoynkyodutosorin4922 The chef mentioned "israeli kusus" , which is frustrating, since israel was built over Palestinian lands and stole everything including the food culture : the falafel, hummus, maftool (what the chef calls israeli kusus) and many other things!!
@@DKsHighlights Yeah, that's a valid question. I used to be on Israel's side, because all I knew was about the prisoners and the 7th. But then I learned more. And it became evident that who I was "with" was not an oppressed party but something terrifying. I'm a human rights advocate. I do not appreciate that people in Palestine have no access to food, water, Healthcare, hygiene, electricity, ect. I do not appreciate the 28,064 dead, 67,611 injured by bombings since October 7th. I want the people, families of normal human beings just trying to survive in the worst circumstances imaginable, never losing hope, to finally be able to live normal lives. Go to school, go to sleep without fearing being bombed, not be kidnapped and beaten and have teenager's hands have their bones shattered completely for being "terrorists" at the age of 13. Because I don't want babies to never say their first word, and parents to never see their kids grow, for brothers and sisters and friends to be separated by the thousands. I want the Palestinian people to be able to live,, not survive in terror. May I ask why you support the oppressors?
