We’re placing our first New Jersey chefs now, vetted to the same standard as our Los Angeles team: interviewed, referenced, background-checked, food-safety certified and insured. Book a consultation to reserve your start date, and we’ll introduce you to your chef by name before the first cook day.
We cook across Short Hills and Millburn, and in nearby Summit, Livingston and Chatham. We’ll set up access before the first visit, and most clients aren’t home during service.
