Chef Misun was very sweet and came prepared with all the ingredients measured out so it contained chopping mess. Although it was a private chef experience, she was open to teaching us certain techniques when preparing our favorite French dishes so we could try the next time we cook. Overall great experience!

Chef Misun was very friendly and professional. She communicated well with scheduling, arrival time, and created flavorful dishes that my partner and I drooled over. We saved the remoulade sauce after the appetizer (because it was so good!), the steak was cooked perfectly pink, and every bite of the mashed potatoes was rich. She made the dishes fast and cleaned up her work station very well. This is my first experience with CozyMeal, and Chef Misun made it a perfect option I can look forward to repeating in the future.

Chef Misun is delightful. She delivered a beautiful, delicious vegan meal in our home. The quality of the prep work, food, flavors, colors, plating, timing, creativity, presentation and clean up is bar none, --meticulous! An iron chef indeed. Our guests with dietary restrictions were so pleased too. I highly recommend her services.

FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in New Jersey

How much does a private chef in New Jersey cost?

The cost of a private chef for a dinner party is based on the size of your group and the culinary experience you select. The starting price per person is listed for each private chef experience. Prices typically start at $59 per person and can exceed $100 depending on the menu and courses. When you enter your group size, the total cost will automatically adjust. Special requests or modifications to the menu may also affect the overall cost. Please note that local N.J. sales tax is included in the final price. If you need assistance booking an in-home chef for your event or have special requests, our concierge team is happy to help.

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

When you hire a chef for dinner, every detail is thoughtfully managed, allowing you to enjoy a stress-free event. Your in-home chef will manage all of the details—shopping for the finest ingredients, preparing the meal in your kitchen, plating each dish with precision, and serving your guests. If your menu needs specialty cookware, your chef will bring it along. Don't forget, when you hire a chef for the night, the experience includes clean-up, leaving your kitchen spotless.

What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?

Private chef experiences are fully customizable. Classic favorites like Asian, Italian, and surf and turf are always popular, but N.J. chefs can create a bespoke menu tailored to your event, whether you're looking for a cozy winter meal or a light summer spread. For a gathering along the Jersey Shore, consider a traditional New England clambake paired with sweet Jersey corn. If Grand Vin in Hoboken is your favorite spot, your in-home chef will craft an authentic Italian feast with homemade pasta and sauce (or gravy meat). Dietary preferences, including vegan, keto, and gluten-free, can be incorporated into your menu, ensuring a personalized culinary experience.

How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?

It's as easy to hire a chef as it is to find an Italian restaurant in Hoboken. Start by browsing the array of exciting menus available in your area. Once you find the perfect dining experience, select your preferred date, serving time, and the number of guests attending your event. After your booking is confirmed, your chef will reach out to finalize all the details. Our concierge team is here to help you rent a chef or have any questions.

How much should I tip my private chef?

Tipping is completely optional and left to your discretion if you hire a private chef for a dinner party. However, if you'd like to show your appreciation for your chef's exceptional service, attention to detail, and delicious cuisine, like their decadent lasagna Bolognese, chicken scallopine with sage and fontina, and sinful panna cotta, a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost is suitable.

Where do the experiences take place?

When you book an in-home chef for a dinner party, you eliminate the hassle of overcrowded restaurants and typical menu options. As long as your chef has access to a fully equipped kitchen, your culinary experience can unfold wherever you choose. Whether you’re hosting a dinner in your backyard in Ridgewood or enjoying a bonfire-lit meal at your shore house on Long Beach Island, hiring chefs to cook at your home means you can have a gourmet menu tailored to your tastes. With exceptional service, your private chef ensures that every detail is handled, whether it’s a party of two or 22.
