Your Private Chef at Home

Philippe Collus

Originally from a gastronomic region between Lyon and Grenoble, I spent four years in hotel schools in Grenoble and Chambéry to acquire the necessary qualifications for my profession.

– Among other experiences during my training, I worked at Pierre Orsi’s Michelin-starred restaurant in Lyon.

– I lived and worked in Connecticut, USA, where one of my fondest memories remains the ‘gargantuan’ lobster meals we occasionally prepared.

– After a brief stint in Germany, I spent seven years in England, working in hotels, restaurants, and pubs before returning to France in 2003.

– Two winter seasons in Les Houches, interspersed with two summers on hotel barges along the canals and rivers of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

– Since 2003, I have been working independently as a private chef.

– I am bilingual: French/English.

– In 2011, I had the opportunity to travel to South Africa for an incredible journey focused on wines and local products.

– Presently, I mainly work in chalets in Chamonix, Megève, and surrounding areas, but as you can see, I am open to all propositions!

After all these experiences in restaurants, hotels, brasseries, pubs, and hotel barges in France, the United States, Germany, and England, I now find enrichment in providing private chef services in private chalets. This allows me to engage with clients from all corners of the world, evolving my profession in this unique way of practicing my craft.
