Personal chefs tend to view their work as being as much about stress reduction as about food preparation. "Eating out gets fatiguing," says San Francisco-area chef Olivia Wu. "People want to be healthier. They want to go home, de-stress, cocoon and be comfortable." And some chefs are determined to improve kids' nutrition. "Some children don't even know what mashed potatoes taste like until I get there," says chef Hayward. "It kills me that French fries are their idea of what potatoes are."

Achieving that goal is a tricky process, especially since many Swedish students remain in their own academic cocoon, isolated from their non-native schoolmates. The 23 students in Yngve Blomfelt's Wednesday afternoon geography lesson, for example, are almost all native Swedes and all are from Olofstorp, a small village nestled in the countryside. Hjällboskolan's hallways may teem with diversity and the babel of foreign tongues, but none of this is evident inside...
