I am writing to express my interest in a Private Chef / Personal Chef position.
I am a French professional chef with more than 20 years of experience in fine dining, restaurant management, private dining, and personalized in-home meal preparation.
For nearly 20 years, I owned and operated my own restaurant in France, where I was awarded the prestigious title of Maître Restaurateur, recognizing my commitment to fresh ingredients, homemade cuisine, and high culinary standards.
Throughout my career, I have also had the privilege of cooking for prominent French political figures, including French Prime Ministers, and at Hôtel Matignon, the official residence of the Prime Minister of France. These experiences taught me the importance of discretion, professionalism, organization, flexibility, and attention to detail.
Now based in the Los Angeles area, I work as a Private Chef for families and private clients. I am experienced in preparing weekly meal plans, family-style meals, healthy and dietary-specific menus, as well as more refined dinners and special events. My cuisine is mainly French and Mediterranean, but I am also comfortable preparing Italian, American, Asian, and international dishes.
I take care of the entire process, including menu planning, grocery shopping, food preparation, kitchen organization, and cleaning. I am comfortable adapting to dietary restrictions, allergies, children's preferences, and the specific needs of each household.
I currently hold an O-1B visa in the United States and would be happy to discuss my professional situation and availability in more detail.
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you and demonstrate my skills during a trial if required.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mathias Vigliano
French Private Chef
