A private chef in Boca Raton comes to your home, cooks a restaurant-quality meal in your kitchen, and cleans up before leaving. Chefpost matches you with background-checked local chefs for Shabbat and holiday dinners, family celebrations, one-off events, and recurring weekly meal prep. Most in-home dinners run $65 to $150 per guest, and the chef handles the menu, the shopping, the cooking, and the cleanup.

Boca is a country-club town of families, retirees, and a large, close-knit Jewish community, so kosher-style and holiday cooking is a frequent request alongside Mediterranean, Italian, refined American, and seafood. Our chefs are comfortable cooking to your kitchen's needs and your family's traditions. You can browse chefs and read real reviews before you book.

What a Boca Raton private chef actually does

Two things worth clearing up: a private chef is not a caterer, and having one cook for Shabbat or a family celebration is more personal and less formal than it sounds.

A private chef vs. catering

Catering shows up pre-cooked in trays and warming boxes. A private chef cooks in your kitchen, times each dish to the table, and serves it fresh. For a Friday-night Shabbat in Woodfield or a milestone dinner in Old Floresta, that means a warm, home-cooked feel with a professional behind it, not a catered event you happen to be hosting.

Why Boca Raton is made for the private chef

An honest take from the Chefpost team on why this format fits a country-club town.

Boca is built around the home and the family table. Gated communities, country clubs, a large Jewish community that gathers every Friday night, families and retirees who would rather host than go out. The tradition of feeding people is already here. What was missing was a way to do it without one person spending the whole day cooking or handing the night over to a catering tray. A private chef fits that culture almost perfectly, cooking your family's food in your own kitchen.

Who books a private chef in Boca Raton?
Families and hosts who love gathering at home. Families hosting Shabbat and holiday dinners want kosher-style cooking, gated-community hosts in Broken Sound, Woodfield, and The Sanctuary throw dinners, retirees and snowbirds entertain through the winter, parents plan a bar or bat mitzvah after-party at home, couples mark an anniversary without driving to Mizner Park, and busy households in East Boca and Boca West book weekly meal prep. The most popular occasions are Shabbat and Jewish holiday dinners at home, bar and bat mitzvah after-parties, family milestone and birthday celebrations, snowbird-season entertaining from November through April, country-club-style hosting in a private residence, and anniversary and date-night tasting menus.
Can a chef cook kosher-style for Shabbat or a holiday?
Yes, this is a frequent Boca Raton request. Many of our chefs cook kosher-style and are happy to work within your household's kitchen setup and traditions for Shabbat, the High Holidays, Passover, and other occasions. Tell us your needs when you book and we will match you with a chef experienced in this kind of cooking. Please note our chefs cook in your kitchen rather than provide certified-kosher catering.
What does the price include?
Menu planning, all grocery shopping, cooking in your kitchen, plating and serving each course, and full cleanup so your kitchen is left the way the chef found it. You only provide the space, plates, and glassware. There are no hidden fees, and gratuity is at your discretion.
Which Boca Raton neighborhoods do your chefs serve?
Our chefs cover Boca Raton and southern Palm Beach County, including Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club, Boca West, East Boca, Old Floresta, The Sanctuary, Boca Bath and Tennis, Broken Sound, Woodfield, the Mizner Park area, and Camino Gardens. They also travel to West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
How far in advance should I book?
For a standard dinner, three to five days gives your chef time to plan and shop. For Shabbat around the High Holidays, for holiday weekends, and during the November-to-April snowbird season, book one to two weeks out because chefs are reserved early. Last-minute requests are sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
Can the chef cook Mediterranean, Italian, or refined American menus?
Yes. Boca is one of our strongest markets for Mediterranean, Italian, and kosher-style cooking, along with refined American and fresh seafood. You can filter chefs by cuisine when you browse profiles, and every menu is customized to your table and your family's preferences.
Do you offer weekly meal prep, not just events?
Yes. A meal-prep chef comes to your home on a set day each week, cooks several days of meals, and leaves them portioned and labeled in your fridge. It is popular with Boca West and Broken Sound households and with snowbirds who want their winter place stocked, and it usually runs $200 to $350 per week.
Is Chefpost available outside Boca Raton?
Yes. Along with Boca Raton we serve Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa, and St. Petersburg in Florida, plus New York, New Jersey, Austin, Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta. See every private chef city we cover.
