Personal Chefs in Minneapolis, MN

Hello. My name is Scott. I have been cooking in this industry for over 30 years. I have owned two restaurants in the Minneapolis area. My focus is on American and Italian foods, with an emphasize on clean, delicious and seasonal cuisine. I support local growers as much as possible. Oh, and I love cooking for others.

Hello! I am a self-trained chef with seven years of experience working for families and individuals. I also have ten years of experience cooking large-scale for social justice movements. I have a certificate in Pastry Arts from Amaury Guichon’s Pastry Academy in Las Vegas, NV, and I am a MN state-certified Food Safety Manager. I’m also a state-certified Wild Mushroom Harvester. My specialties and interests include: vegetarian, pescatarian, and vegan diets; Indian, Persian, Eastern European, and Levantine cuisines (to name just a few!); fermentation and preservation; and foraging & local foods. I can present you with freshly cooked meals, stock your fridge with ready-to eat dishes, or provide meal-kit style experiences. For meal prep, I charge a set per diem fee, based on an hourly estimate. This fee includes custom menu planning, grocery shopping, in-home cooking, and cleanup, and is based on a $60/hr rate. This generally comes out to about $375-475 for a week’s worth of meals. Please note that groceries are billed separately. In addition to meal prep, I am available as a full- or part-time private chef. Please inquire to discuss details! I am passionate about providing creative, delicious meals for those living with restricted diets. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-FODMAP, following a religious diet, or a doctor-mandated diet (etc), I would love to work with you! I’m also happy to work with anyone who eats everything! ;) *please note that I am unable to cater to Keto, Paleo, and other fad diets* I enjoy building long-term relationships with my clients, and I look forward to getting to know you and your unique tastes. Hope to hear from you soon :)
