This Year, the Holiday Feast in Taboão da Serra Cooks Itself — You Just Sit at the Table
A personal chef prepares your entire Christmas or Réveillon dinner in your apartment or building party room, so you spend the holiday with your family instead of two days in the kitchen.
Why Hire a Personal Chef for the Holidays in Taboão da Serra?
No Driving Into São Paulo on December 24th
Getting to a decent restaurant in the capital means an hour-plus each way — and on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, the traffic and the prices both get worse. A personal chef flips the equation: São Paulo-level cooking comes to your home in Jardim Maria Rosa, Parque Monte Alegre, or Centro, and nobody has to find a designated driver at midnight.
Small Kitchen? The Salão de Festas Works Too
Taboão's newer apartment buildings have compact kitchens but generous common areas. Chefs on myChef plan around exactly this: prep is organized to fit your kitchen, or the whole dinner moves to the building's salão de festas — perfect when the guest list grows from 10 to 25 once the cousins confirm.
Two Days of Cooking, Handled by Someone Else
A traditional ceia takes 48 hours of shopping, brining, baking, and assembling — and the host usually misses the celebration itself, stuck between the oven and the sink. The chef absorbs all of it: the chester, the salpicão, the rabanada, and the mountain of dishes afterward. You get to actually be in the family photos this year.
How Your Holiday Dinner With a Chef Works
Tell Us About Your Celebration
Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, or both? How many guests — 10 close family or 30 with all the aggregados? Any vegetarians, kids, or a grandmother whose rabanada recipe is non-negotiable? We match you with a chef who fits your date and your table.
Approve the Menu, Skip the Shopping
Your chef proposes a complete holiday menu and adjusts it with you. Once approved, they handle every purchase — poultry, seafood, produce from the region's feiras and Ceagesp suppliers — so you never face a December supermarket line.
The Chef Takes Over on the Day
They arrive in the afternoon, organize your kitchen or the party room, and work through the menu on a precise schedule. Hot dishes come out of the oven as guests arrive; cold platters are finished at serving time. You hand out hugs, not appetizers.
Feast Served, Kitchen Spotless
After dessert, the chef cleans everything and leaves your home as they found it. No 2 a.m. dish marathon on Christmas morning, no sticky pans waiting on January 1st. Just the leftovers, neatly packed in the fridge.

Celebrating the Holidays at Home in Taboão da Serra
Taboão da Serra fills up in December. Families who spend the year commuting down the Régis Bittencourt into São Paulo finally get their evenings back, relatives arrive from across Grande SP, and the city's apartment buildings light up with ceias spread across dining rooms and salões de festas. What Taboão doesn't have is a local restaurant scene built for these nights — which is exactly the gap a personal chef fills.
The math favors staying home, too. A holiday dinner out in São Paulo means capital prices plus tolls, parking, and an hour of driving each way with the whole family dressed up in the car. A chef cooking in your own kitchen in Jardim Henriqueta or Pirajuçara delivers the same quality for a comparable or lower cost per person — and midnight toasts happen ten steps from the sofa.
Ingredients are no obstacle: chefs source premium poultry, seafood for Réveillon, and fresh produce through the region's feiras livres and São Paulo's Ceagesp suppliers just up the road. The result is a capital-standard feast, assembled entirely on your side of the city line.
Local Tip
If your building has a salão de festas, reserve it with the condo administration as soon as you book your chef — December weekends go fast, and the party room is the ideal setup for ceias above 15 guests when apartment kitchens run small.
Holiday Dinner Chef Pricing in Taboão da Serra
A chef-prepared ceia in Taboão typically costs less per person than taking the same group to a special-occasion restaurant in São Paulo — with no travel, no time limit on the table, and a menu built around your family's traditions.
R$50–R$170 per person for group ceias; most family dinners of 12–20 guests land between R$70 and R$120 per person
