A Boutique Summer Experience for Young Chefs

This summer, I’m hosting Little Global Chefs™ – A Summer Culinary Atelier inside my private kitchen studio in Dallas.

This is a boutique, chef-led, hands-on experience intentionally limited to just six children (ages 6–10) per session.

Each morning (8:30–11:30 AM), your child will:

• Prepare one signature global dish
• Learn real kitchen skills (safe knife work, measuring, seasoning, teamwork)
• Enjoy a chef-guided snack and lunch they created
• Build independence and confidence in a thoughtfully paced setting

It is a structured drop-off program for the 3-hour session, allowing children to fully immerse themselves in the experience.

The kitchen is fully electric (no open flames), and tuition includes all ingredients and materials.

Early enrollment pricing is now open.

For the 5-day experience, it works out to less than $60 per day for a chef-led boutique culinary program.

✨ 20% sibling discount
✨ 10% discount for multi-week enrollment
✨ Only six spots per session

Once each session fills, enrollment closes.

If this feels aligned for your family, I would love to welcome your little chef this summer.

And if you know another family who might enjoy this experience, I'd be so grateful if you shared it.

With intention,
Chef Sharon Payot

A Little Note From Me

Hola 🤍

From this side of the screen, it’s me — Sharon, your local travel chef.

I hope this first month of 2026 has been kind to you.
And if you were in Dallas over the past couple of weeks, I truly hope you and your loved ones stayed safe and warm during the winter days.

I wanted to reach out personally to share an update on what I’m currently offering — because I know some of you may be wondering:

“Is she still a chef?”
“Is she traveling full-time now?”
“How do food and travel fit together?”

Let me clarify 💛

Yes — I’m still your Chef.

And now, also your Travel Advisor.

A little over a year ago, I became a certified Independent Travel Advisor

(the modern name for a travel agent).
This means I now help clients plan and book:

Hotels & resorts
Family vacations & group trips
Cruises
Restaurant reservations
Local experiences & activities
Full, personalized itineraries

Think of it as a 1:1 concierge for your trips, designed so you can relax and enjoy — instead of spending hours planning.

At the same time, my chef services
are still very much active.

I continue to book:

Private dinners & celebrations
Meal prep services
In-home culinary experiences

My calendar is open for incoming events, and I love helping families balance busy weeks by taking care of meals and leaving the fridge stocked
with nourishing food.

Why combine food and travel?

Because hosting is at the center of everything I do.

Travel planning can be overwhelming — and the whole point of traveling is to enjoy the destination without stress or missing what truly matters.

I now offer 1:1 booking services at no extra cost when you book hotels, resorts, or cruises through me.
The properties compensate me directly, and in return you often receive:

Preferred rates
Added perks
Upgraded experiences
A real human advocating for your trip

Where food and travel meet:

My Retreats

In October 2025, I hosted my first Culinary & Wellness Retreat in Puglia, Italy, welcoming a small group for an all-inclusive experience centered on:

Cooking classes & tastings
Winery visits during vendimia
Dinner cooked by me
Local food experiences
Wellness activities (yoga & sound bath)

That experience confirmed what I already felt — this intersection of food, travel, and hosting is exactly where I belong.

What’s coming in 2026

I’ve launched my website and shared upcoming experiences, including:

Japan – Autumn Culinary Retreat (https://www.thechefstay.com/product/japan-in-october/ABTCBUZRLQDN6MG6RR6PQDLC?cs=true&cst=custom)
A destination that, for chefs, is a true culinary oasis — textures, ingredients, ancient techniques, and deep food culture.

Oaxaca, Mexico – Día de los Mu***os (https://www.thechefstay.com/product/d-a-de-los-muertos-oaxaca-mx/JT3HSZDB7L5KYQS3M24QPJ2Y?cs=true&cst=custom)
A small group experience honoring regional food, ancestral traditions, and cultural celebrations with deep respect.

Group trips available year-round
For groups of 6+ (friends, family, coworkers, or corporate retreats).

Rome – Family-Friendly Retreat (https://www.thechefstay.com/product/roma-family-package-/7UNBTRXSX4PNY23APW6SWZ3N?cs=true&cst=custom)
Created from my perspective as a mom.

This experience is designed so adults and kids can enjoy Rome together — no long lines, daily gelato for kids, interactive cooking classes, educational tours, and accommodations that truly work for families.

Why I’m sharing this with you?

I wanted to send this note personally to you — someone who has trusted me in your home and at your table — to share how my work has evolved and what I’m building this year.

You can explore everything in a clear and simple way on my website:

THECHEFSTAY.COM

If something speaks to you, I would be honored to host you again — whether for a meal, a trip, or an experience abroad.

And if it’s not your moment right now, that’s okay too 🤍

If you feel called to share this with friends, family, or your workplace, I would deeply appreciate it.

As a self-employed entrepreneur, word-of-mouth is everything.

Thank you for reading, for your past support, and for being here.

With gratitude,
Sharon

My group retreats are for people who feel most at home in smaller circles.

Who prefer depth over noise.

You don’t have to come with anyone. You’ll never feel alone here.

No crowds. No rush.

Slow travel. Shared Tables. Real Connection.

More than a trip — it’s a feeling.
