Chef Jeff Stoneking

Personal Chef In Denver

I am a Denver-based personal chef with a focus on custom dining experiences, meal planning, consultations, and classes. As a professional chef, I have over twenty years of experience in world-class hotels and restaurants. I specialize in intimate to moderately-sized dining groups who desire a high level, personalized dining experience; I like to incorporate family-style platters, plated dishes, and elegant showpieces into my presentation.

For me, cooking is...

My life's passion. It is clear to me that food is the most important fabric of life.

I learned to cook at...

The Broadmoor Hotel in their ACF Apprenticeship Program.

A cooking secret...

Attention to detail, discipline of technique, respect for the ingredients, executed with a lighthearted approach.

An amazing experience from start to finish. Wonderful 5 star food combined with great, personable service! Fantastic in every way!

Chef Stoneking gave us an absolutely incredible night - the food was exquisite, the presentations were wonderful, and both him and Dani were delightful to have around. It really was a gourmet restaurant experience in our own home. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and we're already talking about doing it again. 10/10.

Chef Jeff did an awesome job for my bachelor party. The food was great, and he was professional and friendly.

Chef Jeff and Dani were absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing and they did an excellent job of accommodating multiple children with their varying palettes. Not only was the food great, but they were also engaging and fun, and they left the kitchen cleaner than when they arrived. It was a great experience, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to have a fun experience and a great meal prepared in your home.
