Chef Tye Nielsen

Personal Chef In Temecula

My culinary journey began at a young age, growing up in the heart of restaurants within my family's establishment. As I pursued my passion for the culinary arts, I attended the Illinois Institute of Art Chicago, where I honed my skills and absorbed every ounce of knowledge available.

Throughout my career, I've explored every facet of the food service industry, from fast-food joints to fine dining, and from bartending to serving. Over the years, I've had the privilege of managing several establishments, playing a crucial role in their success and transformation from the very beginning to rebranding stages. My expertise in operations and menu development has enabled me to create popular and thriving culinary destinations.

However, my true forte lies in my ability to deeply understand and connect with my clients. This enables me to craft truly unique and unforgettable dining experiences tailored to their preferences and desires. Whether it's a fun and creative menu for a friend's night out or a mouthwatering BBQ gathering, I infuse my culinary expertise to delight and satisfy every palate.

On the other hand, when it comes to fine dining experiences, I excel at crafting extraordinary dishes that leave a lasting impression on clients and even impress bosses with their refined flavors and presentation.

In every culinary venture I embark on, I strive to bring joy, satisfaction, and a sense of culinary adventure to everyone I serve. With a passion for creating memorable dining moments, I am always eager to take on new challenges and exceed expectations.

For me, cooking is...

To tap into creativity, trigger amusement and wonder, and share extraordinary experiences.

I learned to cook at...

Caesars entertainment was a large portion of my professional development; however, I’ve never turned down an opportunity to learn from a friend.

A cooking secret...

Is love and emotion, my best meals have come from joy and passion to create a memorable experience.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Chef Tye to prepare a birthday dinner for a group of seven at our vacation home in Palm Springs, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we began planning the menu, Chef Tye was attentive and accommodating, taking the time to understand our preferences and dietary needs. He crafted a menu that was not only delicious but also perfectly suited to our group. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients and an impressive attention to detail. On the day of the dinner, Chef Tye arrived punctually and brought everything he needed, transforming our kitchen into a professional culinary workspace. His warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us all at ease, making the entire experience feel special and personalized. The meal itself was nothing short of spectacular. Every course was beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. The first course featured bruschetta and shrimp ceviche, and our group couldn’t decide which was the favorite as both were absolutely delicious. The second course was a citrus avocado salad, which was so surprisingly fresh and delightful that it set the perfect tone for the courses to follow. The entrée truly blew everyone away: beef tenderloin plated with an array of high-quality ingredients and paired with lobster tail, which left us all in awe. The salmon option was cooked to perfection as well, showcasing Chef Tye’s remarkable skill and versatility. Dessert was the perfect way to end the dinner, a delightful conclusion to an unforgettable meal. Chef Tye even surprised us with a few extras that made the birthday celebration extra special. I am incredibly grateful for Chef Tye’s upfront communication, his ability to interpret my guidance, and his talent for creating an evening filled with surprises and impeccable timing. What made the evening even more enjoyable was the effortless way Chef Tye managed everything, from preparation to serving, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the celebration. After the meal, he left the kitchen spotless, which was the cherry on top of an already incredible experience. If you’re looking for a personal chef who will elevate any occasion and create unforgettable culinary memories, I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Tye. This birthday dinner was truly one for the books, thanks to his exceptional talent and professionalism.

We had the pleasure of having Tye cook for us for two days!! Literally the best experience! He’s not only a great chef but he’s so accommodating and engaging! His food … delish!….and presentation…amazing! We literally loved everything he made for us … just make sure no matter what, you get his lemon olive oil cake!!! ????

Tye was an excellent chef for our small gathering. Every detail was spot on. He even helped us with our wine service. Food was incredible and the presentation had a definite “wow” factor. Printed menus with a personalized note was an extra special touch.

Chef Tye was the perfect end to our ladies trip in Palm Springs. He was an excellent communicator and served every dish with the most beautiful presentation! Everyone raved about how delicious and beautiful the food was.

Tye was incredible. All the dishes were perfectly displayed - not to mention DELICIOUS! I am so grateful we set up this experience while on vacation.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Chef Tye. Incredible meal, beautiful presentation and everyone just had an incredible experience. Thank you Chef Tye!

Great experience! Food, presentation, all of it.

Such a great experience with Chef Tye! Not only was he super communicative during planning, but he was punctual, well prepared, and professional once he arrived. His food was plated beautifully and tasted delicious. He was also able to accomodate a food restriction of one of our diners with no complaints. Including a written menu was a very nice touch. I was impressed with every part of the experience and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again. 10/10 recommend.

My gal friends planned our annual trip this year in Palm Springs. None of us had ever been there, so I found Chef Tye through scrolling the app - rather than any sort of personal reference. We all agreed: he was the best part of our weekend. I booked him 6 months before the event - so I was a little worried about whether he would really be there and what he would be like in a house full of women. He was so professional and pleasant. His food was spectacular. Also - he was conscientious about grocery shopping and using already purchased ingredients. When we flew out - he took the uneaten items to a local food bank he’s affiliated with - which we all loved. I cannot recommend him enough. He was absolutely fantastic.

Chef Tye was absolutely fantastic!! The whole process of communicating with Chef Tye was super easy. Chef Tye always responded quickly to any of my ideas or questions. He had some great ideas which I appreciated. I did have an extra request for a Tequila tasting with each course. Chef Tye was very open to my idea. He was willing to shop for and make all of our drinks. I feel like my experience for our dinner with Chef Tye was an excellent collaboration. I will be hiring Chef Tye again when we return to Palm Springs. Thank you so much Tye!!

Chef Tye was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We worked together easily to create the menu, and he was on time and punctual in starting our service. All 5 people in my group are still saying days later how incredible the food was and how great Chef Tye was- we will definitely be using him again next time we are in town!

Exceeded our vision. ????????????????????

Chef Tye was terrific and really made my husband's birthday celebration special.

Everything was great. Very pleased that I chose Tale a Chef for my husband’s special birthday celebration in an Airbnb in Palm Springs. Very pleased that I chose Tye. A lovely man and lovely food. Tye was so accommodating right from the beginning to all my requests

Chef Tye was phenomenal! I am so glad we chose him as our private chef and cannot recommend him enough! His communication was great from the beginning. He was receptive to ideas and extremely helpful with curating the menu. He even went out of his way to make sure he could get special ingredients for us before we had everything locked down. The meal was honestly the best meal any of us have ever had, and we love to eat out and try new foods! EVERYTHING was perfect. His attention to detail really set him apart! It was my sister's bachelorette dinner and she loved the menu he printed for her meal. The presentation and plating was mind blowing. Beautiful! The short rib osso buco appetizer was perfect, so much flavor and detail on one plate. We would have been happy with just that! The poached pear salad was unlike anything we had ever seen or eaten. He created an epicurean surf and turf for us with bison and crab that was more delicious than we could have imagined! And the chocolate trifle was perfection. We told him how rare it was for us sisters to be speechless. He was very professional and so easy to work with. We were amazed at how efficient he was at cleaning the kitchen at the end. By the time we were finished with dessert, everything was spotless and put back where he found it. It was obvious he cared very much about creating the perfect meal for our occasion. Honestly, cannot say enough good things about our experience and recommend you don't waste your time with any one else! Thank you, Chef Tye, for an unforgettable evening!

Chef Tye was prompt and professional from our first engagement. Tye offered us delicious and hard-to-choose options for four courses. The meal exceeded our expectations across the board. I was impressed with the communication, attention to dietary restrictions, accommodations, flexibility, presentation, and, above all, the food quality. We are appreciative and beyond satisfied!

Chef Tye was easy to work with ahead if time and very accommodating of changes and requests. He clearly read the notes provided and tailored the proposal accordingly. The fact that he provided choices within each course to develop the final menu was much appreciated. The presented courses were beautiful, thoroughly describing, and amazingly delicious! Three words. Poached. Pear. Salad! We sat at the island bar for service to watch him prepare the courses and chat throughout the meal. Chef Tye was engaging and delightful to talk to. This was such a fun experience, fully worth the cost, and an exciting and incredible meal. Highly recommend Chef Tye and his amazing culinary talent!

Chef Tye Nielsen was incredible from the very moment we made the selection. Super communicative. Provided wonderful menu options. Arrived when he said. Jumped right in and delivered a four course meal that was creative and delicious. He was engaging throughout without being intrusive and made our special nigth celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary that much more special. We will be using Take a Chef and our Chef Tye again!!

Chef Tye literally created the most delicious and best presented food I have ever had in my life! My guests were raving about it, he even accommodated guests with last minute special requests. It was not just eating food, it was an experience!!! I recommend him to everyone!

Chef Ty created the ultimate personal dinning experience. Not only was every course beyond amazing, chef Ty allowed ample time between courses so every bite could be savored. His presentation and overall skill level was apparent in the kitchen, at no time did he seem rushed, unprepared or unorganized. Chef Ty, engaged in conversation pertaining to the meal as well intimate personal interactions. He understood all of our wants, needs and dietary restrictions. He was neat, clean and presented well, after the meal he clean up was so good he left no trace of being there. Chef Tys services provide the ultimate wedding anniversary evening that we will cherish and remember forever. We would definitely recommend Chef Ty to other Take a Chef customers.
