Indulge Idaho with Jesse Rachelle

02/23/2025

Friends 👋

This is going to be a bit of a vulnerable post, but it is a step in the right direction!

I am a private chef in the Treasure Valley, and am trying to build clientele! I LOVE the Boise area, and know there is new development happening all over the valley… which means there are a ton of houses being sold/purchased! I have a business idea, and am looking for feedback.. so please tell me if this seems like something that would work, and if any of you would be interested in helping me promote my business!

I would like to create a “Voucher” for new homeowners/buyers as a Thank You gift from their Selling Agents or even just as a Welcome to the Treasure Valley gift. The voucher would include a dinner/meal for two (or for the family) in their new home, provided by myself. I understand this service may not be appreciated by everyone, but I think it would be a really nice gesture to offer as a Thank You and would be a completely unique experience.

Please let me know if this sounds like something that could work, and if you or anyone you know might be interested. This concept could be used in multiple industries for us all to support each other! If you disagree or do not want to participate, please be gentle with feedback!
Thank you!

My business page on Instagram is .idaho if you want to go take a peek at things I have done thus far. 🫶

Early stages in the process, but spreading my wings!

Hello! What a wild holiday season, and now we are more than halfway through January somehow! I am ready to dive in to 2025 with my business, and start cooking some meals for some lovely people!

I need to start by making my website more functional and appealing, and I am asking for your help in doing so.

Do any of you have professional experience in creating websites?

Please directly message me if you do, and would like to be a part of my journey.

Thank you! 💪

Hey! An idea just came to me, so I figured I would share and see what you guys think—

I want to start hosting small dinner parties for groups of 10 or smaller once a week, depending on what comes in my FSA box. I will come up with a prix fixe menu, and will post a couple days before to take spots. I think I will ask for a certain amount per person based on food cost. (Nothing crazy, maybe $20-$30 per head). Come over, relax, laugh, and eat something local and wholesome! I will also take requests/ideas if there is something you want to try or have a hankerin’ for. Based on availability!

Sounds fun to me, let me know if you would like to participate!
