Why Scottsdale groups book a chef
Scottsdale weekends happen at the rental: the pool, the backyard and the outdoor kitchen. Groups book houses near Old Town and in North Scottsdale and spend their days at the pool or the day clubs. Leaving to find a table for fourteen means changing, driving and splitting up. A private chef in Scottsdale keeps everyone together at the house.
A Scottsdale weekend, planned around the food
- Arrival night: a casual spread by the pool, such as a taco bar or a Mediterranean-style spread, with something cold to drink.
- Saturday brunch: parfaits, smoked salmon toast, egg dishes and a spritz setup before the day club.
- Saturday dinner: plated outside once the sun goes down, before everyone heads to Old Town.

What we'd cook in Scottsdale
Desert heat calls for food that is bright, and cold where it can be: citrus, chiles and fresh herbs, chilled starters and grilled proteins. Good choices from our menus include ahi tuna crudo, the Moroccan menu with harissa-crusted grouper, key lime desserts and a dragon fruit parfait bar at brunch.
Good to know
- Spring, from February through April, is peak season, with spring training and ideal weather. Summer is hot, so we plan dinners for after sunset.
- Outdoor dining is the norm here. Let us know whether the rental has an outdoor kitchen or grill.
- Pricing: dinners from $57 a person and brunch from $68, plus food, with a $830 minimum.
