A chef bio is distributed widely. Journalists, award juries, and event organizers all receive them, and each has the ability to fact check. Which kitchens? Under whom? In what years? Did the star belong to the restaurant, or to the respective chef?
We create the bio from the information you are able to document. We can then write the bio in a way that does not irritate a chef. When writing bios, there are three lengths that predominantly get used: a hundred word press line, a website bio, and a longer bio for features.
Bios are not boring. One poorly researched fact in a press kit can change everything. Michelin awards stars to restaurants. The James Beard Foundation nominates before announcing their winner. Being in the spotlight is not the same as having a real job. A writer who can distinguish these things will use your real records as the starting point for your career story.
This is the most expensive form of invention. A model fills gaps in a career with plausible restaurants and awards nobody won, and it sounds confident doing it. A journalist checks one line, finds it wrong, and the rest of your press kit stops being trusted.
A résumé or career timeline and a call or answers to eight questions are the first steps. The interesting part is rarely on the résumé. It may be the unpaid position they once staged, the dish they cook thanks to their grandmother, or the mentor whom they’ve adopted some bad habits of.
Three usable text formats from one commission. All were created from the same source allowing them to never be in conflict. This one format includes a paragraph for a press-kit, a site bio format and a long format for the profile. These will be accompanied by a list of all factual claims with their corresponding references for your PR team to check the sheet rather than the narrative.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical chef biography | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Press-kit short bio | 200 | $20 | $0.20 | $20.20 |
| Website chef bio | 450 | $45 | $0.45 | $45.45 |
| Long-form chef profile | 1,200 | $120 | $1.20 | $121.20 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
Every draft goes through an editor, then through several AI detectors and a plagiarism check. Anything that does not come back clean is revised or reassigned. You get the reports with the delivery email.
What the piece is for, who reads it, roughly how long it should be, and anything it must include or avoid. Links to your existing material help. If you are unsure, send what you have and the writer will come back with questions.
Both interviews are great and help to add to the bio. Twenty minutes on a call or eight written answers, as the schedule allows. Documents and emails give us the spine. Conversations add one detail that makes a paragraph worth reading twice.
Yes. We write about careers rather than gossip and a resignation can be said to occur after a tenure of years, without comment on the nature of the departure. Should there be a need to report the matter publicly, that is something to which you should alert us. It will be for you and your counsel to decide what you should acknowledge. We are not making this decision.

The descriptions were beautiful and about fifteen words too long for a one-page menu. I asked for them cut and got them back shorter and still good. Should have specified a character count. My fault, their patience.
The author noted in their original post that they had made the brine and that the salt amount in our notes was not correct for the volume, which it was not. They did a self correction and rightfully so, it is the bare minimum that writing about food gets right.
The writer was able to successfully deliver the requested copy, but also took the time to point out that including nine form fields broke the promise within the headline. That’s not their job. They’re correct. We reduced it to four.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
