BackThey are used routinely by royalty around the world, some of the globe’s top footballers attribute their success to them, and superstars like Rihanna have in-house ones. We are talking about private chefs – culinary artists that cook Michelin standard meals for customers in the comfort of their own homes. Of course, not all private chefs are equal. So, we have rounded up a list of the cream of the world’s crop right now. Here are the very best private chefs who make every meal an experience your taste buds will never forget.

Lauren Gerrie describes herself as a sensualist rather than a private chef. Along with executive chef Flannery Klette-Kolton, Gerrie runs a private dining service called Big Little Get Together in Manhattan, although she cooks for clients around the world. Her speciality with Big Little Get Together is themed dinner parties for which a motif is woven through everything from the menu to the table décor and the music. Every culinary event she creates is as unique as a fingerprint, made with upper echelon ingredients, and in her own words ‘designed to entice’.

If you intend to hire Jonny Marsh, you’ll need to book well in advance. Marsh’s services are currently being utilised by a ream of Premiership footballers including Manchester City stars Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan. As a chef to elite athletes his signature dishes tend to be nutritional. That doesn’t mean they’re dull though. His Instagram feed is full of dishes as colourful as Fourth of July fireworks – bright Brazilian moqueca fish stew, herb fritters with zaatar dressed mixed beans, and coconut and chilli cod.
