Behind the Kitchen: A Day with a Home Chef
From morning market runs to the last plate served, a day in the life of a Potluck chef.
A home chef’s day starts long before guests arrive. We followed one from dawn to dishes.
The market run
Freshness is everything. The best chefs build their menu around what looked good at the market that morning.
Mise en place
Hours of quiet prep — chopping, marinating, simmering — set up a service that looks effortless.
The reward? Watching strangers become friends over a plate of food you made.
