Gluten-Free Private Chef Menu
Scottsdale & Phoenix
Gluten-Free,
Uncompromised
Gluten-free dining too often means settling — for dishes that feel like afterthoughts, for menus that revolve around what can't be eaten rather than what can be celebrated. Chef Anthony Primera's approach is the opposite. His gluten-free private chef menu is built from scratch with ingredients that are inherently luxurious, naturally free of gluten, and extraordinary on their own terms: aged risotto, butter-poached lobster, prime filet, roasted root vegetables, and pastry-cream-filled tarts made with almond flour shells.
Chef Primera takes cross-contamination seriously. He arrives with dedicated equipment, cleans your kitchen surfaces before cooking, and uses only certified gluten-free pantry staples — tamari instead of soy sauce, rice flour for any coating or thickening, and naturally gluten-free starches. Guests with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance can dine with confidence.
This menu works equally well as the sole option for a fully gluten-free household or as a thoughtfully executed alternative track when some guests eat gluten and others don't. Our private chef service is fully equipped to handle mixed-dietary-needs events. Book your gluten-free dinner in Scottsdale or Phoenix today.

Chef Primera's gluten-free menu doesn't feel restrictive because it's centered on those inherently elegant ingredients rather than on inferior substitutions.

Chef Primera follows strict cross-contamination protocols: dedicated cookware, clean prep surfaces, and certified GF pantry staples. Please disclose celiac disease during booking so he can take every appropriate precaution. He will discuss your specific needs in advance.
