The American Personal and Private Chef Association is the gold standard in the industry. We are not only flattered by imitation, but moved by it to constantly innovate, and continually raise the bar on service to our membership. APPCA is the largest professional personal and private chef trade association in the United States. We represent personal and private chefs—giving them a professional posture that allows this growing industry to sustain and flourish. We have created Home Training Systems and Live Jump Start Seminars that bridge the huge gap from a dream of owning a successful business to a reality of a viable, profitable career.
