what sets happy cooking apart?

  • We built Happy Cooking to be an approachable personal chef service. We trade the “stuffiness” of the traditional personal chef industry for connection with our clients.

    Our menus feature elevated versions of crowd-pleasing dishes with familiar ingredients.

    Since starting Happy Cooking in late 2023, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients on bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, team events, family gatherings, holiday get togethers, baby showers and more.

    Whether we’re working with you on a fully custom menu or a ready-to-book service, our entire team is eager to make your event memorable with an unforgettable dining experience. Communicating with us will feel like talking with a good friend. No question is a silly one!

    Plus, each of our chefs has 10+ years of culinary experience. You can relax with your guests knowing the meal is in great hands.

  • Our pricing for our services and add-ons is listed directly on our website, so you don’t have to wonder what hiring a Happy Cooking chef would cost. No hidden fees or last-minute surprises.

    We price our services by the course, allowing you to build a menu that fits your budget. Our pricing is competitive with what you’d spend for a night out at a restaurant, plus the added benefit of being able to save on drink costs by providing your own as well as transportation costs since we come to you.

  • We know your time is valuable.

    Most personal chef companies require you to submit an inquiry form, hold an intake call and then go back-and-forth over emails or the phone to arrive at a menu and collect payment.

    We designed our booking processes to be quick (~3-7 minutes) and fully self service so you can book at your convenience.
