Rachel Signer
Personal Chef
Introduction

Originally from Wisconsin, my passion for cooking started early in life and eventually lead me to one of the greatest cities in the world: New York City. A place where you can find food as diverse as the city itself.
​
I graduated from the Institute of Culinary Education and immediately began working in high-volume, fine dining NYC restaurants. I thrived on the energy of the kitchens and enjoyed exploring new dining experiences. In 2016 I took my passion for food from the kitchens, into my personal client’s homes. During my 11 years in NYC and the past 2 years in Nashville, I have utilized my Michelin Star level training and culinary expertise to curate:
- Well balanced Meal-Prep Programs
- Private Culinary Experiences
- Cooking Classes
- Nutrition Counseling
​
I am thrilled to bring my experience, love and passion for food and the culinary world to The Berkshires! Whether you’re with friends, family or perfect strangers, there are so many ways to connect and engage with one another over a fantastic meal.

How it works
Meal-Prep Program
Food brings us to a place of comfort and happiness. I will guide you on your path to reinvent your favorite traditional dishes in healthy and sustainable ways for you and your family to enjoy, all within the comfort of your own home!
​
Understanding my clients on a personal level, is essential for the partnership and most importantly, the client’s success. I have experience collaborating with doctors, health and fitness professionals to curate meal-prep programs that accommodate an array of dietary guidelines.
​
As your Personal Chef I will:
- work with you to achieve your health and nutrition goals
- personal menu planning
- grocery shopping
- cook and neatly place the labeled food containers in your refrigerator, with reheat instructions
*Rest assured, your kitchen will be spotless when I’m finished!*
