home chef
Domestic meal preparer
A home chef is someone who cooks regularly and skillfully in their own kitchen, typically with more ambition or technique than everyday meal preparation suggests.
The term elevates domestic cooking toward something approaching professional standards: As a home chef, she experiments with fermentation and sous vide.
Unlike professional chefs, home chefs cook primarily for family and friends rather than paying customers.
