Tiff was awesome, personable, professional, and overall an excellent Chef! Our family was expecting to take a class from her however, due to a mistake on my part, she arrived prepped and ready to delight us with a private event. We were not at all disappointed though because she not only filled out bellies with delightful tempura, sushi, and an awesome matcha dessert, she talked through with us her process in making all the dishes and answered any questions we threw at her. We learned a lot about how certain dishes are made and how we can make some dishes ourselves without much effort. You could tell her knowledge and passion of world cuisine throughout the night which made the experience even more enjoyable. My family and I loved loved the private event, we will be attempting to book a class with her in the future! Also, sorry no photos, I think we were too excited to eat it all.

What a wonderful experience we had with Chef Tiff. She provided an amazing meal, interesting conversation and a spotless kitchen when she left. Chef Tiff was called in late to fill in for the original Chef that had to call off ill. She picked up the recipe and perfectly created the culinary journey to the Puglia region we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Chef Tiff to anyone in the Boulder/Denver area that wants a magical and delicious evening at home with family and friends. The Best! Thank you!

FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Boulder

How much does a private chef in Boulder cost?

The cost of a private chef for a dinner party depends on the number of guests attending and the experience you choose. Prices range from $59 to over $100, with a discounted menu for children. Once you select a private chef experience, enter your group size, and the cost will automatically adjust; local sales tax is included. Please note that modifying the menu or group size may alter the final cost. If you need assistance with booking your in-home chef for a dinner party, our concierge team is available to help and answer any questions.

What is included when you hire a chef for the night?

When you hire a chef for the night, you’ll feel like you’re dining at a five-star restaurant but with the comforts of home. Your in-home chef will take care of everything, from hand-picking the freshest ingredients at the Boulder Farmers Market to cleaning up afterward. Each dish will be crafted on-site, plated beautifully, and thoughtfully served. If your menu calls for special equipment, your chef will bring it along. Whether you're hosting a vegan brunch in the foothills or a Parisian-inspired soirée in a chic loft Downtown, when you hire a chef for dinner, a bespoke menu and top-tier service are expected.

What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?

Boulder chefs are masters at using the freshest locally sourced ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes. From seasonal farm-to-table fare to popular international cuisines like Asian and Italian, your private chef experience will be tailored to your specific occasion and tastes. Whether your menu features comfort food like a hearty green chili mac ‘n’ cheese, or your celebration warrants a luxurious multi-course tasting menu with elegant Spanish tapas and local craft beer, your in-home chef will curate a menu that celebrates the city’s top-rated culinary scene just for you.

How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?

It’s easier to hire a chef in Boulder than to decide which of the many mountain trails to hike today. Simply choose one of the amazing culinary experiences listed on this page, select your event’s date, time, and group size, and you’re ready to go. Once your booking is confirmed, your in-home chef will contact you to craft a menu that perfectly suits your occasion. Need help securing a date or rent a chef near you? Please reach out to our friendly concierge team to make sure your booking goes as smoothly.

How much should I tip my private chef?

When you hire a private chef for a dinner party, tipping is optional and entirely up to you. However, if your chef exceeds your expectations with their stylish presentations, courteous service, and irresistible dishes like slow-braised short ribs, truffle mashed potatoes, and a velvety chocolate lava cake with a hint of espresso, we suggest a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost to show your appreciation for a truly unforgettable meal.

Where do the experiences take place?

From coffee shop-lined Pearl Street to North Boulder and the Mapleton Hill area, when you hire chefs to cook at your home, the experience takes place in your neighborhood. Stop worrying about crowded restaurants and predictable menus. As long as your private chef has access to a clean, fully equipped kitchen, you can host your dinner party wherever it feels best. Whether you’re in an apartment Downtown or vacationing in Table Mesa for the week, booking an in-home chef for a dinner party means a personalized menu and top-notch service in your neck of Boulder.
