Palm Springs is home base for Chef Tien Tran. After cooking at the ACE Hotel & Swim Club, he now brings Modern California cuisine with Vietnamese roots straight to your Palm Springs home or vacation rental, from midcentury gems in the Movie Colony and Twin Palms to hillside retreats in the Indian Canyons.
Whether it is a poolside dinner under the San Jacinto mountains, a Modernism Week gathering or a birthday weekend with friends, your private chef shops, cooks, serves and cleans up while you enjoy the desert evening.
Palm Springs is built for entertaining at home: open-plan midcentury kitchens, courtyards and pools made for long dinners. A private chef turns your rental or home into the best table in town, without the wait for a reservation during peak season.
We cook throughout Palm Springs, including the Movie Colony, Old Las Palmas, Vista Las Palmas, Deepwell, Twin Palms, Racquet Club Estates, Warm Sands and the Indian Canyons, plus downtown condos and short-term rentals across the city.
Host friends at your rental during Palm Springs’ busiest event weeks.
Group dinners and brunches for weekends in the city.
Plated tasting menus on your patio as the mountains turn pink.
