Overview
We are seeking an exceptionally detail-oriented and experienced Private Chef for a young, health-conscious family of four based in Los Angeles. This is a full-time, live-out role in a professionally equipped private kitchen, structured around daily family meal service.
The household maintains a strictly gluten-free diet due to a wheat allergy. The chef must have strong, proven expertise in gluten-free cooking, including sourcing, preparation techniques, and strict cross-contamination prevention. All meals are prepared from scratch — no processed or pre-made products.
This is a 5–6 month position in Los Angeles. The family will relocate to Jackson, Wyoming after this period. The chef may transition with the family in a live-in capacity, though candidates available for the LA term only are welcome to apply.

Leave the kitchen spotless at the end of each day
The family values fresh, wholesome, ingredient-focused cuisine with strong attention to nutrition and presentation.
Preferred cuisines include:

Globally inspired healthy fare
Meal structure:

Professionally trained chef with Michelin-level or high-end restaurant background
Prior experience in high-end private households required
Demonstrated longevity in previous roles
