Private chef in Lake Tahoe

Why Tahoe groups book a chef

Groups visiting Lake Tahoe rent large cabins and lake houses around Truckee, Tahoe City, South Lake Tahoe and Incline Village, often a winding drive from town. After a day on the slopes or the water, a private chef in Lake Tahoe means a proper dinner at home, with no one driving icy or dark roads.

What we'd cook in Tahoe

Mountain trips call for warm, generous food: hazelnut-crusted rack of lamb, smoked beef short rib, truffle mashed potatoes, a large salad, and bourbon pecan bread pudding or chocolate flourless torte. Breakfasts are hearty as well, with shakshuka, egg dishes, cinnamon rolls and plenty of coffee before first chair.

Multi-day trips

Many Tahoe groups book a vacation chef for the whole stay, covering breakfast before the slopes, lunch or snacks in the afternoon and dinner every night, from $1,250 a day plus food.
