Paleo Private Chef Menu
Scottsdale & Phoenix
Whole Foods,
Premium Execution
The paleo lifestyle is grounded in a simple idea: eat the way your body was designed to eat. Whole proteins, fresh vegetables, healthy fats, and nothing processed, no grains, no dairy, no refined sugars. In everyday cooking, that framework requires discipline. In Chef Anthony Primera's hands, it becomes a revelation. Because the ingredients that define paleo eating — grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, fresh vegetables, eggs, nuts, fruit — are also the building blocks of some of the finest cooking in the world.
Chef Primera's paleo private chef menu is built around the proteins and vegetables that benefit most from professional technique: dry-aged steaks that have been seared in a cast-iron at the precise moment they're ready, wild salmon that has been handled as little as possible to preserve its texture, and roasted vegetables that have been seasoned and timed to achieve caramelization without ever crossing into mushy. The result is a dinner that satisfies the paleo commitment completely while delivering a dining experience that stands on its own merit.
A-Prime Dinners serves Scottsdale and Phoenix with paleo menus for individuals, couples, and groups. No grains, no dairy, no legumes, no refined sugar — but no shortage of flavor. Our private chef service handles everything from sourcing grass-fed proteins to full cleanup. Book your paleo dinner today.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Is ghee acceptable on the paleo menu?
Strictly speaking, dairy is excluded from paleo, but many in the paleo community accept ghee because the milk solids have been removed. Chef Primera can include or exclude ghee based on your preference — just note it during booking.
What cooking oils does Chef Primera use for the paleo menu?
Avocado oil and coconut oil for high-heat cooking; extra virgin olive oil for finishing and dressings; tallow or duck fat for roasting proteins. No seed oils (canola, soybean, sunflower) are used.
Is the paleo menu also low-carb or keto?
The paleo menu naturally excludes grains and refined sugars, making it lower in carbs than a standard Western diet. However, it does include some root vegetables and fruit, so it is not strictly keto. Let Chef Primera know if you want a paleo-keto hybrid menu.
Can the paleo menu work for a dinner party where not all guests are paleo?
Yes. The paleo menu is built around ingredients — prime steak, fresh fish, roasted vegetables — that everyone enjoys regardless of dietary philosophy. It works naturally for mixed groups without requiring separate preparations.
