What is a Personal Chef? 

A personal chef works with a client to determine individual tastes, specific dietary requirements and nutritional goals.  Based upon conversation and a detailed food questionnaire, customized menus are developed for the client's approval.  Once a personalized menu is approved, a cooking date is set for the chef to prepare these meals in the client's home.

How many meals are prepared?

A typical service will provide 2 adults with 10 dinner entrees and side dishes.  The chef prepares 4 hearty servings of 5 different entrees and sides.  Of course, the portions can be increased to accommodate family size.  And, you'll never see the same menu prepared for at least 6 months, unless you request repeats of your favorite meals.

How often do I need the service? 

This depends entirely on your lifestyle and the number of family members.  Some clients arrange for a personal chef every other week, while others may request a once-a-month service.

What happens on cooking day? 

On your scheduled cooking day, I will shop for the groceries to ensure you get the freshest products available.  I arrive at your home with my "traveling kitchen"--all you provide is the use of your stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator and freezer.  All your meals will be neatly packaged in disposable containers, labeled, and dated and you'll receive a copy of the menu along with easy to follow reheating instructions.  To top if off, your kitchen will be clean and your home will smell wonderful.

What type of storage containers do you use?

I use pressware, freezer bags, Gladware, and aluminum containers.  All are disposable and can go from freezer to oven or microwave.

Do you offer gift certificates?

 Yes.  It's ideal for a special event such as the arrival of a new baby or for a person recuperating from an illness.  The minimum gift certificate is a typical service: 4 servings of 5 entrees and side dishes.
