Introduction

Having 30 years experience with food, people and private homes, I possess a level of maturity, stability and work ethic that is exceptional. My appearance and punctuality is unfailingly professional. My kitchen skills draw upon inspiration from around the world, as well as classic comfort foods from Europe and the Americas. My appreciation of global cuisines have informed my views on sustainability and the path from farmer to market with an emphasis on regional and seasonal preparations. Rather than rest on the merits of my extensive track record, I continue to learn and expand my knowledge and skills from languages to electronic applications and managing modern homes. Most importantly I have maintained a history of trustworthiness, consistency and dedication to my clients. I have a complete CV of my experience, letters of recommendation and references.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I price according to the nature of the event, and in accordance with the original quote offered by the potential client.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I work on a professional and personal level with potential clients, going over their specific dietary requirements, type of event and price negotiations.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have a long history serving in private homes and estates, from La Jolla to Rancho Santa Fe, and also numerous desert locations in the most elite private communities. I have a track record of service that is quite distinguished, with letters of reference and recommendation.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Birgit H. Neufahrn bei Freising, Germany 5/22/17 We spent our holiday in a private home in Palm Springs. The owner's idea to have private dinner at the house could not have been better. His recommendation - Chef William - was a like hitting the jackpot. Chef William is very nice - dealing with all our wishes and special issues in a perfect and professional way. The food was exceptional- we had a 5 course dinner for three persons. I have had a lot of experience with Michelin-star chefs all over Europe - and especially the crispy duck breast with port-cherry confit, the pomegranate-turkish honey braised lamb shank with herbed cous cous and asparagus carrot wrap (the specially herbed and salted butter on the asparagus alone is already worth three stars!) and the creme brûlée (one of the best I ever had) is worth sinning for! He cleaned up everything perfectly and we had nothing else to do than continue having a great evening! Thank you chef William, we highly recommend you to everybody who wants to have a perfect 3 star dinner! Chef William is an absolute pleasure to work with. Coordinating, iterating on the menu, and discussing logistics was also a fun process for me. Our bachelorette party was 16 girls deep and I was looking for a more specialized experience than something like Ruth Chris during our time in Palm Desert/Palm Springs. For starters, food is delicious--he has a great deal of pride when it comes to his craft. Together, we constructed a Spanish style menu with two tapas, a salad starter, and finally a beautiful mixed seafood/sausage paella. It ended up being more than enough food for all of us. Secondly, it was a really nice reprieve for a small group of us, who planned everything down to a T that entire weekend. Chef arrives, ensures he has enough workspace, and then basically kicks you out of the kitchen so he can begin. That gave the entire group the time to hang out (aka take an excessive amount of boomerangs by the pool) and drink before dinner. He brings someone to help serve and clean the entire kitchen before he leaves as well. I am not only Type A but also very OCD--I appreciated that more than he will know. For me personally, this was one of the more memorable events during the trip because of how much everyone was loving the idea and food as the last hurrah before we all went out to celebrate our girl. Thank you for such a great experience! Jennifer K Oakland CA 5/15/17
