Food cost is determined by your menu selections. Grocery and transportation receipts are provided each service day, along with a detailed invoice of services provided.

Full-Time Private Chef Service Fees

A full-time (or part-time permanent) chef can be placed in your home for a percentage of the chef’s first year salary. Please contact us to learn more about how our placement services work.

Our Cooking

We believe in using whole, unprocessed organic foods in our approach to culinary nutrition. We seek out fresh seasonal ingredients, sourcing locally and from farmers markets whenever possible.

Cooking with the seasons is our passion, using only the highest-quality ingredients. We eschew preservatives, processed and GMO foods.

When it comes to preparing seafood and meat for our clients we source wild fish, organic poultry, and grass-fed meat.

We cook from scratch, making our own sauces, salad dressings and marinades. Fresh herbs and spices are all used in moderation to enhance the natural flavors of food.

Our meticulous standard for food extends into the kitchen where strict safety and sanitation standards are adhered to at all times, as are ethical and professional guidelines. Working conditions are kept clean and organized during food preparation.

Our goal is to please your palate, support your health and wellness through real whole foods, and to provide you with the best possible experience.

We encourage constructive feedback along the way to allow us to constantly improve upon the services we provide.

Specific Diet Accommodation

We accommodate many palates and dietary preferences. Before we begin, we schedule a consultation and food preference interview. From there, services and menus are designed based on your dietary and nutrition goals. We are happy to collaborate with your nutritionist, doctor, or other wellness professional in crafting menus.

Some of the many dietary preferences and requirements we accommodate are listed below. Please click on a diet for more information!

About the Chef

Chef Jerran Boyer, The Big (Cashew) Cheese

I began my career as a private chef in 2003, after completing a culinary arts and pastry degree program. Since then, I have worked with a wide range of clientele in New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Palm Beach and Jupiter Island.

Over the years, working with individuals with dietary restrictions and health conditions has helped me cultivate a deeper understanding of and appreciation for how the foods we choose directly impact our health and wellness. This led to specializing in culinary nutrition in my approach to cooking.

My philosophy for daily living and in the kitchen is to incorporate as many nourishing and healing foods into our diets as possible. I truly believe that eating real whole foods energizes us, nourishes us, heals us, and facilitates optimal health and wellness.

This passion and curiosity has motivated me to constantly strive to learn as much as I can about nutrition and how it relates to food. In early 2017, I completed the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate Program through Cornell University. Currently, I am completing coursework towards earning a Masters in Nutrition Education to become an RDN (Registered Dietitian Nutritionist) at Teachers College, Columbia University.

I am happy to share the knowledge and experience I have gained to help others be their healthiest through food. My team of nutrition-focused chefs and I extend this passion to our clients in creating menus and preparing delicious, nutrient-dense meals using the freshest, highest-quality ingredients.
