Dinner with a Chef

Big thanks to Judy and her family for choosing us to be part of such a special day. Celebrating her 80th surrounded by love, laughter, and great food was truly an honor for our team. 💖

The best driver of chef-pre-neurial success to me has always been my Family! They are the reason for it all, and I couldn’t do it without them

These are tough times now. Lockdowns have sure taught us that Family time is important. But, was it really necessary for us to be taught this and that too by a virus!? I don’t think so.

As a Personal Chef, I have always enjoyed the service I provided to my clients and also got to spend time with my family being there for each other. That’s the Ultimate Goal. Isn’t it?
⠀
The only thing that’s got to change is your mindset. Work less, Earn more and in turn, spend quality time with your family.

I have explained how you can work less and earn more as a Personal Chef compared to working as a Chef at a Restaurant/Hotel in my recent video posts. You can check my, ‘The Truth About Being A Personal Chef That May Surprise You’ video post.

Stay safe guys. Chef Andres

Hey Guys. I hope you all are safe and doing great. 🙋🏼‍♂️

This is me on a Private Event, on the occasion of a client’s Birthday just doing my thing! 👨🏼‍🍳

I’ve been putting out a lot of content this past week for all you aspiring Personal Chefs out there on how to get started with a Personal Chef Business. I have been saying this often and I can’t stress enough how important this is but the first thing you must do is change your mindset. 😃

Remember - A Degree, Certification, Years of Experience - NONE OF THOSE MATTER! ❌

If you have a Passion for cooking you can actually start a Personal Chef Business. Becoming a Personal Chef, there aren’t any dues to pay to anybody but to yourself. 💪

Drop a 💣 in the comments section and mention which line according to you is a value bomb.

In Case you have missed go and watch them now.

1. The Sandwich Method series (Parts 1,2 and 3)
2. The First thing you must do to be a Personal Chef
3. Consistent Income by retaining clients
4. Surprising truth about being a Personal Chef
5. Find your passion to have the confidence to share

I’d hate for you to miss them. Stay Safe and take care guys. More videos coming your way! 😎

THAT'S RIGHT! It may come as a shock to some that we're not just in business to serve the most delicious food, which we do, but we're here to help people enjoy LIFE! Skip the prepping, the cooking, the cleaning (yuck), and truly BE with the ones you love!
