Hire a Full-Time Personal Chef for Your Home
A private chef in your kitchen, every day of the week.
Tired of thinking about what's for dinner? Stuck in the same weeknight rotation? Juggling work, kids, school runs and somehow trying to put a proper meal on the table?
A full-time personal chef changes all of that.
At Seasoned, we place permanent and long-term private chefs in family homes across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and beyond. From breakfast through to dinner, our chefs handle the menu planning, the shopping, the cooking and the clean-up. You come home to food that's already on the table.

Why Hire One of Our Permanent Personal Chef
The reasons vary, but the result is always the same: more time, less stress, and meals that everyone at the table actually looks forward to.
Some of our clients hire a full-time chef because both parents work long hours and want their kids eating proper, home-cooked food every night. Others have specific dietary needs (banting, vegan, gluten-free, halaal, kosher or allergy management) and want someone who knows the kitchen inside out. Some entertain regularly and want a chef on call. And some simply want to reclaim their evenings without compromising on what ends up on the plate.
Whatever your reason, we've placed a chef for it.
What a Full-Time Seasoned Chef Looks After
Our permanent chefs aren't just cooks. They become a quiet, dependable part of how your household runs. Day to day, that usually includes everything from the weekly shop to the food that lands on your plate each night.
You tell us what you want from the role. We make sure the chef we send fits the brief.
