What culinary skills are required to be a Personal Chef?

Neither a culinary degree or membership with a culinary association are requirements for becoming a personal chef. Potential clients want to know that you can confidently provide the service they're requesting, regardless of your education or skill level. Because individuals are hiring you, there are no "general" requirements. Similar to a job interview, each client decides for themselves what qualifications they’d like to see in a personal chef. Those with a culinary degree and those without a culinary degree are welcome in the personal chef space.  If you’re interested in becoming a personal chef, I welcome you to check out VirginiaStockwell.com that includes an actionable step-by-step guide to starting a personal chef business.
