Dear Chef Recruitment Team,
I hope you are well. I am writing to express my strong interest in the Private Chef opportunity listed on your website. With extensive experience as a yacht chef, private household chef, and catering/event chef across Europe, I believe I offer exactly the blend of versatility, skill, and discretion you’re looking for.
My culinary background combines a Mediterranean foundation with a deep appreciation and practical knowledge of global cuisines, including Japanese, Asian-fusion, Middle Eastern and healthy-oriented dishes. This has allowed me to craft menus that are both refined and accessible — ideal for discerning private households that value quality, variety, and subtlety without unnecessary extravagance.
Having worked in diverse settings — from yachts and villas to private homes and catered events — I am used to adapting quickly to different kitchens, ingredients availability, and household rhythms. I manage all aspects: menu design, sourcing produce (often seasonal and high-quality), mise en place, cooking, service and kitchen organisation afterward, always with a calm, professional attitude and complete respect for privacy and household protocols.
In addition to my culinary work, I have training in herbalism, Ayurvedic and functional nutrition, which enriches my approach: even when no special dietary restrictions are given, I naturally lean toward cooking in a way that supports wellbeing — balanced, nourishing, flavourful and light when appropriate. Thus, I can comfortably cater to families who appreciate healthy living or have children, while still delivering elegant, restaurant-level meals.
I believe my mix of professional versatility (yacht, private home, catering), international cuisine competence, health-conscious cooking approach, and a calm yet flexible personality makes me an excellent candidate for a Private Chef role. I am able and willing to relocate / travel if needed, adapt to different households, and bring immediate value from day one.
My CV and a selection of food imagery / sample menus are attached for your review. I would be delighted to discuss this opportunity further and show how I can meet and exceed the expectations of such a placement.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
Fulden Kargi
