Personal Chef in Austin & Houston Texas
CULINARY SERVICES FOR YOUR HOME
Custom Meal Prep
Healthy, delicious meals — designed around you. Chef Eric James offers fully customized meal prep services that take the work out of eating well.
We’ll start with a consultation to understand your goals, preferences, and schedule. Whether you want balanced meals for busy weekdays, dishes that support specific health goals, or family-friendly favorites, every menu is built exclusively for you.
Each service includes menu planning, grocery shopping, on-site cooking, and packaging your meals for easy reheating and enjoyment. Your kitchen is left spotless, and you’re left with meals that make the week feel effortless.
Services start at $125 an hour plus the cost of groceries minimum of three hours.
CUSTOM DINNER PARTIES
Every dinner party should be as unique as the people at the table — which is why no two events I create are ever the same. At Chef Eric James, each menu is curated specifically for you, reflecting your tastes, preferences, and the atmosphere you want to create.
We’ll start with a collaborative conversation to bring your vision to life. Together, we’ll design a completely custom menu that highlights seasonal ingredients and showcases refined, memorable dishes tailored to your occasion.
On the day of your event, I handle everything — sourcing the finest ingredients, preparing each course in your kitchen, and ensuring every detail is executed flawlessly. When the night ends, your kitchen is left spotless so you can simply enjoy the evening.
The result is a one-of-a-kind dining experience that feels effortless, personal, and unforgettable — designed exclusively for you and your guests.
About Chef Eric
Hi, I’m Eric James — a personal chef with a passion for food, travel, and creating unforgettable experiences in the kitchen. Since 2011, I’ve been serving Austin and the surrounding areas, turning kitchens into restaurants for the night and giving clients the chance to truly enjoy their guests instead of worrying about cooking or cleanup.
I graduated with honors at the top of my class from Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, and I’ve been sharing my love for bold flavors, creative menus, and approachable dining ever since. I believe food is meant to bring people together, whether it’s a cozy family-style dinner, a multi-course celebration, or a lively small-bite soirée.
When I’m not cooking, you’ll find me traveling, exploring new restaurants, and finding inspiration in the people and places I meet along the way. Every event I create is personal — designed to reflect your tastes, your occasion, and the feeling you want your guests to leave with.
