California Private Chefs

More Pleaze is a digital marketplace for a collective of private chefs specializing in health and wellness. Our chefs offer specialized services in niche healing markets such as retreat catering, pre and post natal meal prep, workshops, and more.

We have strong roots in California, our founder and CEO Kyra was born in Santa Cruz, grew up in Sonoma County, and lived in San Francisco during her twenties. So of course we have chefs from the redwood forests of Humboldt to wine country to the Bay Area all the way down to the beaches of San Diego. If you are a private chef in California – please apply with us! To browse our registered California personal chefs available for service, scroll down.
