Private Chef estimate

Hi,

I’m looking to hire a private chef for the first time. I got a quote from a chef and I just wanted to make sure this all seems legit.

She is Arizona based (does not say where) and we are going to be in Sedona.

Seeking Culinary/Pastry Mentor

Hi! I’m a Pastry Arts student at Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts looking for a qualified culinary/pastry professional to serve as my externship mentor to fulfill my graduation requirements.

I have some completed hours that need to be reviewed and signed off on, and I still need to complete my remaining hours. The mentorship can be remote.

It works by speaking whether text/call/email.

If you’re a chef, pastry chef, baker, culinary instructor, or bakery owner and may be willing to help mentor/advise please DM me! I can provide the school’s mentor requirements and details.

Thank you! 😊

I don’t want a restaurant.

I’ve been a professional chef for over two decades and I have no desire to open a traditional restaurant. All I want to do is create moments for intimate gatherings. The truth is that there is no money in either. Why does it seem we are cherished so much but respected the least when it comes to our worth? How am I a starving artist when food is my medium?
