A personal chef plans and prepares meals in a private home according to their client’s taste and dietary needs. Duties like ordering groceries and supplies, setting up menus, cleaning, washing dishes and serving meals fall under the charge of a personal chef.

A personal chef may also be required to cater for functions or parties. The service of a personal chef are sometimes required at holiday resorts which gives the chef oppurtunity to travel abroad.

The word chef is abbreviated from the French term chef de cuisine which means “head of kitchen.” The term executive chef refers to the person in charge of a kitchen or the many kitchens of a hotel or restaurant group. They are in charge of food service operations and management and often referred to as corporate chefs.
Executive chefs have the ability to make an establishment well-known or even famous – for they determine the nature and quality of the food that are served.
The renumaration a chef receives is determined by the amount of formal training and degrees he completed, which is why executive chefs are some of the top earners in the business.
