A private chef is a culinary professional hired by clients to create unique, customized dining experiences. Clients communicate their specific needs and preferences, and the private chef handles everything from grocery shopping to cooking and cleaning.

Ever found yourself craving a gourmet meal but not feeling up for the restaurant scene? Whether you're a Durango local or a visitor passing through, it's fun to mix it up the culinary adventure! While I enjoy Durango's restaurants as much as the next, the allure of a private chef can bring a fresh, unique touch to your dining experience.
When you hire me, you can expect a comprehensive culinary experience. I take care of the entire process, from sourcing the best possible ingredients to meticulous meal preparation, cooking, and cleaning. Your only task is to savor the meal.
The cost of my services varies depending on your preferences. For a vegetarian meal prepared in the comfort of your home, prices range from $140 to $160 per person, depending on if the meal is served family style or plated. If you desire meat and seafood dishes, the prices range from $160 to $180 per person (again, depending on how the meal is served). Chef Hannah offers discounts for those interested in multiple meals (i.e. vacations, corporate retreats, etc.).
I proudly serve the entire Four Corners area, which means I'm happy to travel to you. For travel outside Durango city limits, clients pay the standard mileage reimbursement rate. Whether you're here for a day of skiing, hiking, or mountain biking, I'm here to make your "play all day" and "eat all night" dreams come true.
It's best to book in advance to secure your desired date and ensure availability. Typically, booking at least two weeks ahead is recommended. However, if you have a last-minute request, don't hesitate to reach out, and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs.
Absolutely! I'm committed to creating a personalized dining experience that suits your tastes and dietary requirements. Whether you follow a specific diet (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) or have food allergies, please inform me during the booking process, and I'll tailor the menu to your specifications.
