Why Palm Springs groups book a chef
A private chef in Palm Springs makes sense, because here the rental is the destination. Groups take pool houses around the Movie Colony, Old Las Palmas and south Palm Springs, and no one wants to leave the pool for dinner. A chef brings dinner to the patio.
What we'd cook in Palm Springs
Desert weekends call for bright, fresh food: citrus, herbs and chilled starters, followed by something grilled at night. Favorites from our menus include ahi tuna crudo, burrata and strawberry salad, the Moroccan menu, and key lime or tres leches for dessert. A poolside brunch is essential, with parfaits, avocado toast and a spritz setup.
A weekend plan
- Arrival: a poolside spread of small plates.
- Saturday brunch: served by the pool before the heat of the afternoon.
- Saturday dinner: plated on the patio after sunset.
Good to know
- Spring is peak season, and the April festival weekends book out early.
- Summer is very hot, so we time dinners for after dark and keep the menu light.
- Pricing: dinners from $57 a person and brunch from $68, plus food, with a $830 minimum.
