About UsWith the introduction of the Personal Chef Service in 1991 came the responsibility to create a solid, workable foundation for this new industry. The USPCA was aware that as founders, their duty included establishing guidelines and standards for Personal Chef services to follow. With this in mind, the United States Personal Chef Association enabled this new career field to flourish while maintaining and regulating how Personal Chefs conducted their service. Thanks to these efforts many years ago, clients from North America and beyond can have confidence that service standards are in place and that all USPCA Personal Chefs adhere to these standards, including a professional code of ethics. Today, USPCA is the largest and most well-established association for these working professionals. The USPCA continues to set the standards and create guidelines as this industry grows. Media exposure, National recognition, increased sales, and ongoing education, which keep the USPCA on the cutting edge, are just a few of the benefits realized by the Personal Chef.
