That's not as outrageous as you seem to be making it, I can't imagine that anyone hiring a personal chef would want that person to go on and put on their resume: `I worked for XYZ FAMOUS PERSON and had to handle DIET FOR PEOPLE WITH BAD GAS at their prestigious home at CELEBRITY ADDRESS HERE`. It is not material for your resume and a massive no-no in terms of privacy, even without signing an NDA.

What you can put down though is something akin:

> Personal chef to a family of four. My duties consisted of preparing
> XYZ meals every day, catering for specific dietary and health issues
> of the clients.

And whatever else is important for a chef on their CV, but that cannot even hint at who you've worked for, just do not go into any specifics. And if still in doubt, run it by a lawyer, it should not be expensive to get a comprehensive opinion. On a side note, that's something you should've done before signing any document you are not 100% sure about, but as we don't have a time machine, getting that now is the second best thing.
