I love the authenticity and candidness she shared about her job. I hope she can expand her business and get to the point where she can have more free time and mentor her staff to step into her shoes.
She’s very structured and precise in her routine and regimen and that’s sometimes all you need to be successful. I wish her nothing but continued success :)
Yes, it’s truly like that with most things you need to show up for. It’s the same at university, you need to be structured, have a routine and stick to the things you have signed up for. I wish her the same, and looking at this it wouldn’t surprise me if she managed to expand her business.
The way she talks about her career seems so honest and heartfelt. You know her food is amazing because she takes so much pride in what she's doing. But all that meal prep 😯 y'all, i'm doing good to make sure my teenager has milk in the fridge for cereal 🤣
it would be nice but her schedule is already rlly full, and that would just be more work, bc if she uploaded videos she would have to record and edit the videos. That would be rlly hard to do.
@@marivicpusag3365 definitely i agree, but if her youtube channel took off then she could do less and less private cooking and more YT (and probably make more money in the process). i love her energy and enthusiasm. imo there is a market for meal prep content that looks good, tastes good and is manageable to make by the general public. no idea how she'd manage to fit YT into her schedule but it may be something she should consider, she'd be awesome to watch
This is why, as much as I love cooking, I could never be a cook or personal chef or anything like that. Just, the sheer amount of time and effort and labour required to pull it off, and doing that constantly...not everyone can manage that. Kudos to those who can, but I myself keep my cooking personal.
I’ve also thought about going into the field many times but I don’t want my passion to be burnt out by the stress and long hours. I think I’m fine learning to cook at home making my family, and myself happy with what I create. If anything I think I’d do part-time at a cafe or something
The moment she said about her business: there are days that I hate it, and there are days that I love it, I knew so is 100% truthfull, what a great inspiration, and such a gorgeous girl, I wish her good fortune, and loots of successes.
People talk about role models, but this is exactly the kind of role model young people need. Sure she's experienced some "unicorn" type situations but she spent FAR more time talking about the everyday grind and drudgery aka she talked about *real life*. Bravo. I hope this bit of exposure lands her a cushier job do less work.
@@heheheha9094 No matter how good you are or how hard you work you need a major stroke of luck to end up as the personal chef to a celebrity. That's a "unicorn" situation, aka something like winning the lottery or another lucky scenario.
@@phanCAbe it's not that hard to get close to a celebrity. Literally just grind. If people in your work have X opportunity, if you grind you will likely get the same opportunity.
@@Atheism-And-Normative-Ethics that's not exactly true. you often get to catch an amazing opportunity through meeting the right connections. Having great skills from grinding will definitely help seal the deal, but if u don't get the right connections these things will be crazy hard to experience.
I feel like she should triple her rates and hire assistants or trainees. I felt exhausted just watching her work so hard! She’s doing AMAZING! Would love to see her recipes.
I absolutely appreciate this type of work. I worked quite a few years in the kitchen, and the stress eventually took me out. Being a personal chef seems like the best of both worlds. You're responsible, but you're also the one creating the menu with the client. I still can't imagine going back to cooking for living, but this type of stuff, this type of content, makes me appreciate the field. I'm a Butcher manager now, and I'm happy. I'm still with food, I still have employees, I still make things happen. But the end result is no longer on me. And thats also after 6 years of being a fish monger lol. Life changes all the time.
@@PaoPao901 hard work, long/late hours, low pay, and I say this as someone who has been in kitchens for almost 20 years, the industry attracts some of the worst people you’ll meet, but also some of the best. As you get older the ability to tolerate “the worst” goes down.
@@Abcdeline1 Wow, your comment on the inclusivity of the Restaurant Industry, reminds me of the sentiment of the Ineffable, Greatly Missed, Global Culinary Ambassador, Anthony Bourdain, whose First Book " Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly"....
Thank you Tasty! I've never seen anything like this on RUclips when looking for the reality of it all. Being a chef/cook is not for the weak. So much sacrifice but still so fulfilling.
I love the honesty about having your dream job. Nothing you love to do comes easy and you might not have all the time in the world but every accomplishment is extremely empowering and rewarding. I’d love to buy one of her cookbooks!!
I just came for recipes but wow I couldn’t stop watching her. I love her energy, the comfort, confidence and passion she exudes as she speaks about her career. Also she was very thorough so now I’ve left with great insight into this profession.
Off topic I like her setup, she has exactly how I would organize and maybe the same amount of utensils for my kitchen. I also like the overall setup of her apartment.
What a grounded view at this particular career. I adore cooking and some say that I spoil my mom with the lunches I make for her, but like she said, it brings you a particular type of joy.

I do want to work in the dietary industry and I really value what she had to say and share a whole lot. I really hope she keeps kicking ass and I'd really love to see a cookbook from her as well.
*It was really good to listen to someone who really is a full-time private cook. Quite an interesting story, thank you for letting us take a look "behind the scenes"!* 😈👍
I just wanted to say you are amazing! You are super creative and motivated and a total boss. I live that you speak openly about the not so glamorous parts of your job as well. I've always wondered what it is like to be a private chef.
She is gorgeous Inside and outside. I pray she gets long life with lots of happiness and success and health and prosperity in the world with her family and loved ones.
As a pro, I've did this years ago. Many of my clients had me sign an NDA beforehand. Short contracts and limited times only. I did it for the experience and I'll say this without a filter: Never Again. Forget about a life, forget about family, forget about holidays...you are treated as a servant. Clients started asking me to do dishes, pickup groceries, vacuum, etc...umm no. I'm not your housekeeper or a babysitter. Calling me on my DAY OFF to come over and make them a SNACK!?! Threatening to hold my pay unless I complied? I actually had to sue one of them to get paid. Screw that. I miss the money, but not my dignity. Many years later, I warn newbies about this section of the Food and Beverage industry. That and cruise ships...HELL NO!!!
@@wisteria6656 Because, once you are in international waters, there's no labor laws. They can demand that you work 24 hours straight with little or few bathroom breaks, etc... They can even drop you off in another country if you refuse their rules. They will cut you a check and leave you stranded. They have even confiscated passports to keep you onboard, so you can't leave. They make all employees sign contracts and NDAs so they can't be sued. Modern day slavery, fraud, blackmail, extortion, but no one's paying attention or cares. People just want their cheap cruises with cheap booze.
@@chefrob1020 How much did you made as a private chef though ? I heard it pays a lot. I remember watching a video on cnbc where they interviewed a private chef who made 18k $ a month ! I have this like impression that private chef's make like a 6 figure income
Omg yess I love her already, and I haven't even met her. (Yet) 😊. This is my type of woman. Wonder job, sis. You have just inspired me to light the fire under my behind and get serious with myself. Thank you.
Hearing you describe your kitchen and your things and spoons and spatulas, I felt like I was listening to myself. I've been cooking since I was about 7 yrs old, and today, it's such a deep passion.
for labeling how to heat things, you might really enjoy one of those small thermal printers usually listed as sticker makers, they're cheap for how often I think you'd use it for this
I love you and thank you for this video. At 48, I want to go back to school to be a chef but more for helping other independently. You are kind and gentle and still successful and still love what you do. U inspired me🎉
She’s amazing and beautiful. I found this video for my son because he asked me about private chefs, he’s 16 and a great cook so he’s exploring career options
😖🤯🤯 wow that is breathtaking, thank you for sharing this information your journey what it means to be a chef to love to cook putting smile on people face. Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this. I'm glad you were honest about the fact that it is hard to say no, particularly when what you're doing is so important to you, but if you don't take the time to look after yourself even if it's just that one day a week, you'll pay in the long run
I love the authenticity and candidness she shared about her job. I hope she can expand her business and get to the point where she can have more free time and mentor her staff to step into her shoes.

Sorry, but the simple question that remains unanswered is HOW MUCH DO YOU MAKE !!!!
