Cooking for a variety of people with an array of tastes and dietary needs is an incredibly rewarding and challenging career.
But you aren’t worth your weight in truffles as a personal chef if you don’t have a strong business foundation.

A personal chef training and mentorship program for passionate cooks who believe home-cooked food is the recipe to a meaningful career.
You love spending hours in the kitchen, reading cookbooks, buying the best produce at farmer’s markets, flaky maldon sea salt, and your trusted chef knife.
You’re ready to turn your skills, obsession and passion for food into a career that gives you a reason to wake up every morning.
No more depressing cubicle, hiding behind a computer or phone or stressful restaurant line and $10/hour wages.
Welcome to a life doing what you love most: nourishing and connecting clients with your delicious food.
Hi, I’m Brigitte Theriault. I have spent the last 10 years building a successful Personal Chef business in both New York and San Francisco.
I also spent years making classic industry mistakes:
Undercharging, taking on the wrong clients, and not having strong branding and marketing systems in place. These common problems can quickly become vicious cycles.
However, after spending the last few years feeding my obsession with all things business and applying these concepts in my own business, I understand what it takes to build a powerful business.
My goal with the Personal Chef Business Academy is to help you shave years off your learning curve with personal chef training so that you can get back to what you love doing most: cooking.

3 1:1 coaching calls where you can ask me any questions you have so you can start to take strategic actions towards building your business.
You’ll get a behind the scenes look at my client menus and recipes, pricing structure, and marketing/PR plan and a case study of what I’ve accomplished for far with the re-brand of White Apron in 2014.

Absolutely. You don’t need to be a professional chef to become a personal chef. You need a working knowledge of cooking techniques, the ability to multi-task in the kitchen, and a passion for food and learning.
Nope! But you need a strong branding and marketing foundation to convince your clients you are the real thing. Clients don’t care if you are certified. What matters is that they feel comfortable having you in their home, and that you have the ability to make delicious food.
“My sessions with Brigitte have been very helpful to grow and rebrand my business. She has been an incredible network for me and connected me to many other business professionals.”
“Thanks to Brigitte, I am starting to become networked in the San Francisco community as a vegan personal chef. I’m slowly building my book of clients. Most importantly is the confidence I’ve gained in working with Brigitte. If left to figure this wonderful profession out by myself, I’m sure I would have given up. I highly recommend her services.”
