A Private Chef
for the HolidaysChristmas Week · Thanksgiving · New Year's Eve
Private chef service for the season's biggest weeks across Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Wyoming — Christmas week in the mountains, Thanksgiving at home, and a New Year's Eve tasting menu at your own table. 24-hour proposals.
Holiday Private Chef
A private chef for Thanksgiving, Christmas week, Hanukkah, and New Year's Eve — cooked and served in your home or vacation rental across the Mountain West. Single dinners or multi-day service. Most dinners run $150–250 per person. Written proposal within 24 hours.
Five Weeks. Every Date Matters.
The measure of a good holiday is whether the host got to be there for it. A private chef is the difference between hosting Christmas and spending Christmas in the kitchen: menus set in advance, groceries handled, every course cooked and served on-site, and a clean kitchen at the end of the night.
We run single-night dinners and multi-day holiday weeks — the Christmas-to-New-Year's stretch in a ski house is our busiest booking of the year, and multiple chefs for one large gathering is normal for us, not an exception.
When the Dates Actually Go
How the calendar actually moves: Christmas-week chefs in the ski markets are booked by mid-October. New Year's Eve goes almost as fast. Thanksgiving holds out longest, but the best dates are gone three weeks ahead.
Late to it? Ask anyway — we hold short-notice capacity, and same-day service is a normal request for us. If the season's truly full, a gift card turns a missed December into a January dinner nobody has to cook.
The Three Events of the Season
Christmas Week in the Mountains
Multi-day service in your rental or second home — breakfasts before the lifts, dinners after last chair, Christmas Eve done properly. One chef, the whole week if you want it.
Ski-town chefs book by mid-OctoberThanksgiving & Holiday Dinners
The full seated dinner — Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah — cooked in your own kitchen and served at your own table, with nothing for the host to do but sit down.
Best dates gone three weeks outNew Year's Eve at Your Table
A course-by-course tasting menu that beats any reservation in town, served through midnight, with the kitchen clean before the toast.
