WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE PERSONAL CHEF EXPERIENCES in Milwaukee
04/07/2025
We enjoyed this class very much. It was less hands-on than we expected, but I understand now that 2 hours isn't enough time to make all three doughs, let them rise, and still bake them. Chef Sarah did demo the process though, so we got a chance to see yeast being bloomed and mixed in. We are definitely planning to check out more of these classes. Thank you!
01/06/2024
I loved the class. Maybe a few tweaks needed but all in all I would do it again. I'm not a chef but I learned some new skills that I'll take with me. I'd take a class again.
01/31/2023
Joi blew all of our expectations away with her meal choice, conversation, and instructions. She was incredibly knowledgeable about our cooking questions and went above and beyond to ensure we had fresh ingredients, alternative menu items, and a phenomenal experience!

Chef Becca was great - took all of the intimidation out of cooking Thai food. Extra effort put in to help us learn where and how to shop for ingredients. Great conversation, very personable. I look forward to booking again!

FAQs

How much does a private chef in Milwaukee cost?
The cost of a private chef for a dinner party typically ranges between $59 and over $100 per person. However, this is just a guide. The actual price you’ll pay is likely to vary based on a few factors, including the neighborhood you’re in as well as seasonality, with certain dates like Valentine’s Day commanding stronger demand and therefore higher prices. It's also worth noting that experience prices are tiered based on group size. You can get a rough idea of what you’ll pay to hire a chef for the night by viewing the starting price on your chosen experience’s web page. Alternatively, why not contact our Concierge team for more in-depth assistance?
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
When you enlist the help of an in-home chef for a dinner party, you can expect them to take care of absolutely everything. That includes handling all of the grocery shopping, all of the cooking and serving you and your guests course by course, leaving you free to relax and enjoy the evening. They’ll bring with them any specialized equipment required to make your chosen menu, and when the night draws to a close, you won’t even need to worry about the cleanup. Your in-home chef wants you to feel utterly spoiled from the moment they arrive, so when we say they’ll handle everything, we really do mean everything!
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Whatever cuisine from around the world springs to mind, a private chef experience is a surefire way of bringing it to your table. It could be surf and turf, Asian fusion or luxurious New American. And don’t worry, even if you can’t find precisely what you’re looking for from the available list of experiences, when you rent a chef, they’ll gladly work with you to curate a menu that perfectly pleases your palate. Whether that’s a Tuscan feast reminiscent of your favorite Italian trattoria, authentic Japanese sushi or a luxury full-course meal worthy of your favorite Michelin-star restaurant, it’s all possible. All you need to do is ask.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
With talented hosts available across Milwaukee, it couldn’t be easier to hire a private chef for a dinner party. Simply log on to Cozymeal and head over to the Private Chef area of the website. From there, it’s easy to search by city, and once you’ve found a Milwaukee chef and menu that aligns with your plans, all that’s left to do is set a date. Even if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, don’t worry. Just reach out to our helpful Concierge team and they’ll be happy to assist with alternative dates, menu customizations, pricing and more.
How much should I tip my private chef?
The amount that you give as a tip is entirely up to you, however, it’s worth knowing that when you enlist the help of renowned local chefs to cook at your home, you are under no obligation to do so. Having said that, we completely understand if you’d like to give one — it’s a wonderful way in which to thank them for a memorable evening. If so, again, the amount that you tip is up to you, but if you’re unsure, we usually suggest tipping between 10% and 25% of the total experience cost.
Where do the experiences take place?
This is one of the first questions your host will ask when you decide to hire a chef for dinner. Fortunately, all that’s required for your chef to bring your experience to life is a clean and functional kitchen. As long as that’s in place, it can take place wherever you want it to. Whether you’re in Bay View, Brady Street or Walker’s Point, your chef will gladly come to your home or another hired venue in your city location. When they arrive, they’ll set up shop in your kitchen and set about preparing a luxury meal for you and your guests, one that everybody’s sure to remember for many years to come.
