Today we’d like to introduce you to Mark Tregurtha.
Hi Mark, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I was trained at the Silwood Kitchens School of Culinary Arts in Cape Town South Africa. I moved to The USA 21 years ago. I have been in private Service for the past 20 years, cooking for UHNW individuals.
I have had the opportunity to cook for movie stars, Ex-Presidents, and some very famous people throughout my career. I decided to start my own Personal Chef business in 2016. Mark Charles Your Personal Chef. I now have the pleasure of cooking for anyone and everyone who wishes to experience having a personal chef.
To me, a sit-down dinner with family and friends is a celebration and creates memories to last a lifetime. I absolutely love what I do, food and entertaining is my passion.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The only struggle was with me, having to make the decision to stay in a job that was very secure in every way, to go out on my own. It’s a decision I will never regret, albeit a tough one to make.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I think what sets me apart from others, is my work ethic. I always try to make the Personal Chef Experience one will never forget. From my first interaction with the prospective guest, I always make sure to find out any dietary restrictions I would need to consider.
Once the menu is chosen, I source all my ingredients locally from good quality vendors making sure the product is fresh and organic. I focus on good clean healthy food.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters most to me is ensuring the guests have an amazing experience, from the great food presentation to a table elegantly dressed and warm interaction with the guests, allowing them to enjoy the experience as if they were at a 5-star restaurant but having it in their own home.
