“Great working with you – I have to work 2 full days at the restaurant to make what I made for the cooking class I did last week.  Let me know if anything else comes up in the area.”

- Chef O’Reilly, Winnipeg

Sonia…. Just a note of Congratulations.  The new website looks great.

- Rona McNeill

For nearly the past year of being a member of The Chef Alliance, I began as a Bronze Level member and quickly decided to become a Platinum Level member and will never look back. I have received amazing personal chef gigs, promotions through their e-marketing and PR campaigns, affordable liability insurance and just recently some effective legal help when my company experienced an uncontrollable shortfall earlier this year. I would recommend becoming a Platinum member with The Chef Alliance from day 1 if you want to jump-start your personal chef service and make your culinary dreams a reality.

    As a Chef with The Chef Alliance, you are paid more money while working less hours than Chefs who work in restaurants and hotels.  On average, our Chefs make a minimum of $35.00 to $300.00 per hour for events, working only a few hours in the evening or day.  

    Our Chefs do not have to push out 1000 meals a day.  As a Personal or Private Chef, you work with a single client to create a dinner that expresses your passion for cooking.
