Hiring: Freelance Private Chefs

About Us

The Culinistas is a culinary resource that gives everyone the freedom and confidence to connect around a meal. We match vetted private chefs with households for in-home meal prep, gatherings, cooking class demos and custom needs—like full time or traveling positions. As a company built by and for chefs, we deeply value the creativity and specialness of each chef, and feel proud to continue expanding our culinary community.

Main Markets: NYC, the Hamptons, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Austin, Miami, and Palm Beach

Job Description

We offer private chef opportunities that fit your schedule and needs. As a Culinista chef, you have the opportunity to pursue your culinary passion without sacrificing a stable and balanced life.

Career Growth: We hire chefs straight from culinary school as well as lauded culinary talents looking for their next challenge.
Easy Admin: You love to cook, not do paperwork. We handle the booking, logistics, menu selection, and billing, so you can focus on what happens in the kitchen.
