Gourmet Recruitment were pleased to help a Ultra High Net Worth couple who love Michelin Star restaurants appoint a private chef from a 3 * Michelin restaurant background.
The couple approached us with a brief to help find them a Private Chef with Michelin Star training and gave us a list of their five favourite Michelin restaurants which were:
The chef was to be based with them initially at the summer residence in the South of France but would then travel with them as a live-in private chef in their Winter residence and accompany them to London when they visit their Mayfair residence.
They were looking for a Private Michelin trained star to provide tasting menus for dinner parties to help them become the talk of the town. Chefs of this standard can serve up anything from a simple lunch to a decadent Seven Course tasting menu with accompanying wine.
The private chef is responsible for the menu planning, shopping, cooking and kitchen accounts, as well as keeping the kitchen clean, tidy and well stocked at all times.
For this ultra high net worth couple we also found a Butler and a Sommelier as they wanted the full service to be michelin level. The Sommelier, to look after the wine and pairing the right wine’s with each course and also to look after the wine cellar. And the butler to help with many daily tasks, greet guests for dinner parties, help with planning and make sure every event is a success.
Gourmet Recruitment managed to produce a shortlist of michelin private chefs, butlers and Sommeliers and the client then decided which they would like to meet to see how they connected.
We’re finding more and more luxury households are choosing Private chefs and staff members based not their favourite restaurants locations. A chance to bring this dining experience to their family and friends for the ultimate occasion boast.
