Wishbone Kitchen TikToker “Stepping Away” From Being a Private Chef

Meredith Hayden is saying “yes chef” to a new opportunity.

The Wishbone Kitchen TikToker is wrapping up her time in the Hamptons as a private chef—but for good reason.

“I am temporarily stepping away from private chef work BUT that is because I am officially writing my debut cookbook!!!!” the 27-year-old, who has 2 million followers, announced on TikTok Sept. 1. “I’ll still be postings lots of content as I take you along with me during this next chapter of life but figured I should fill you in. Love you all thank you for making my dreams come true.”

Eying a 2025 release date for her book, she said she needs to meet “some pretty intense deadlines” to make it happen.

“I’m a very hands-on person like I can’t just hand this off to somebody and not be super involved in every single recipe that gets put in the book because you can put a recipe book out and literally not make any of the recipes, did you know that?” she said. “I did not know that.”
