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."

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.
