How much does a chef cost in Maine?

Hi there! My name is Alexander, I am currently a resident of Portland, Maine. I attended Southern New Hampshire University’s Culinary Program and have ten years of professional cooking experience. I am looking to share my culinary talents within a more personal setting. I have a love for both eating and cooking food. I have experience cooking a wide range of cuisine and am familiar with offering both vegetarian and dairy free entrees. As a chef for hire, I am open to offering private chef experiences, event catering, and cooking classes. Whether you are looking for a casual personal chef who provides meals throughout the week, someone to prepare a course for an intimate dinner party, plan a special event, or improve your culinary skills, I am here to bring my expertise to your home. My approach to cooking is rooted in fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a commitment to delivering flavors that delight the senses. I am more than happy to tailor my services to meet your specific needs and budget. If you are seeking a dedicated and talented chef to offer delicious and nutritious meals within your home, please feel free to message me to discuss how we can work together to create something truly extraordinary!

I am a self taught professional, who is passionate about whole and healthy foods. Most recently, I was involved in the opening of a new contemporary restaurant concept in rural Bridgton, Maine. My responsibilities included menu planning, hiring staff, ordering food and general supplies, as well as cost control. I was also an integral part of developing marketing concepts using social media sites and applications. I have 25 years experience in the restaurant industry, and have operated my own catering and consulting service for the last few years on a per diem basis while managing kitchens in some of rural Maine's best restaurants.
