Washington DC Private Chef

You’ve got a lot on your plate.

You’ve just arrived home after a full day of fulfilling your professional commitments. You’re excited to slip into your comfy shoes, hug your loved ones, and savor your precious personal time. If you’re being honest, though, the thought of channeling your inner Julia Child isn’t quite as appealing.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know someone’s already whipped up a delicious, nutritious meal for you and your family? And kept everyone’s allergies or dietary restrictions in mind. And made sure each pot and pan is back exactly where it should be?

When you welcome a private chef into your home, you’ll enjoy less time in the kitchen and more time gathered around the dining table with those you love best. The only thing that’s not on the menu? Stress!

After running successful agencies in both Boston and Chicago for over seven years, we were delighted to expand our services to Washington DC in 2022.

Washington DC is unlike any other city in the USA. The seat of our federal government, the deep history that comes with it, and all the organizations that power government, make it an extraordinarily rich and diverse cultural location. Mix that with the geographical location on the East Coast, with quick access to Maryland, Virginia, the whole of the East Coast, as well as a short hop over to Europe, and you have a true melting pot of ideas and intellect.

All of the candidates that Lydia recommended for interviews were excellent, and we could tell that she carefully considered the criteria that we discussed."

  • "I do not have a single negative thing to say about this organization. Lydia is thoughtful, communicative, candid, and most importantly - an incredible judge of character."
