HOW I TURN ONE PRIVATE CHEF CLIENT INTO A CLIENT FOR YEARS.

After 5 years and cooking in over 1,000 homes, one of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt is that getting new clients is only part of building a successful private chef business.

The real value is in the relationships you build along the way.

I’ve always believed that if someone trusts you enough to invite you into their home, you should give them every reason to want you back.

And it’s not about constantly trying to sell them something.

It’s about genuinely caring about the experience you deliver and the people you’re delivering it to.

I’ve put together 8 things I focus on that have helped me build long-term client relationships.

Swipe through and let me know what you think!

FELLOW PRIVATE CHEFS AND BUSINESS OWNERS, what’s helped you turn a first-time customer into a returning client?

PRIVATE CHEF BOOKING CHEAT CODES.

After 5 years and over 1,000 homes, I’ve picked up a few tricks that have genuinely helped me grow my private chef business.

And some of them might surprise you.

I’m sharing 3 things that have worked for me and that I still use today.

No guarantees, no magic formulas. Just lessons from running my own business.

Swipe through and let me know what you think!

FELLOW CHEFS AND BUSINESS OWNERS, what’s one trick that’s helped you get more bookings?

You voted for mango. So here’s the bloody recipe. 😂

F**K IT. HERE’S ONE OF MY SECRET RECIPES.

SECRET RECIPE 02: Mango ice cream with miso and ginger caramel and macadamia praline.

The caramel is the bit I’d want you to try. Sweet, salty, a little ginger, then that crunch from the macadamias.

All the ingredients and steps are in the slides, with instructions for a Ninja Creami or an ice cream churner. Allow time for freezing before you get too excited about eating it.

Save this for later, or send it to the mate with an ice cream machine who owes you dessert.

If you make it, tag me. I’d love to see yours.

A new secret recipe every Sunday. If you missed 01, the Bloody Mary Salmon Tart is already on my page.
