A Personal Chef offers a professional service of meal preparation. A client's individual tastes drive the creation of their customized menu. These personalized meals are prepared at the chef's home and then packaged, labeled and stored in the refrigerator or freezer in your kitchen.

How the Personal Chef's Service works
First you meet with the chef. This free consultation gives you the opportunity to share your likes and dislikes, allergies and dietary needs. Custom menus will be based on the information you provide during this meeting. The chef will also review the features of our service, as well as determine the delivery schedule.

Meals include a first course of either soup or salad, followed by a full meal that includes protein, vegetables, starch and a Dessert. Portions are generous. You will receive a printed menu or email each Friday with the menu for the coming week also you can see a two week menu cycle at our webside " Weekly Menus. Minimum service is three meals per week.The average client receiving five meals per week will spend approximately the same amount as eating restaurant food every night.

What is the difference between a Personal Chef and a Private Chef?

A private chef is employed by one individual or family full time, and is often “living in” and preparing up to 3 meals per day. A Personal Chef serves several clients, usually one per day, and provides multiple meals that are custom designed for the clients particular requests and requirements. These meals are packaged and stored so that the client may enjoy them at their leisure in the future.

Do I heat the food?
Yes. Any entrees that have been stored for you in your freezer should be defrosted overnight in your refrigerator, and heated, to be enjoyed at the peak of their flavor. Your Personal Chef will always leave you with easy to follow heating instructions for each entree.

The cost seems to be about what I would pay for an entree in a restaurant - why is that?
Although my fees are expressed per entree or per serving, they actually represent all of the components that make up a professional personal chef service. For example, the assessment process that I complete to determine your likes, needs, special dietary requirements and requests is used to customize your menu selections.
I modify all of my recipes to reflect your wants and needs; meal selections are submitted for your approval; all of the groceries needed for your meals are included; and your meals are all prepared in the safety of our own kitchen. Plus, packaging, labeling and storing your entrees are all features included in this price.
If you were to compare a personal chef service to restaurant service you could think of it this way...For a restaurant, you must drive to get there, possibly wait for a table, take a chance that your server is having a good day, and if you have allergies or special requests you don’t always have the guarantee that they will be honored, since most entrees are “assembly line” ready in the kitchen. After eating your meal you must pay for it, tip the server, and get back in your vehicle to drive home.
If you have a Personal Chef Service, you can heat a beautiful entree that has been prepared specifically for your palate and requirements, and eat it in the comfort of your own home.

Do I pay you ahead of each cooking date?
Yes, that is customary to pay for the service in advance of your cooking date. If you like you may leave me a check for the upcoming cooking date on the last day I am delivering the food.

Can I order half of the regular service?
I wish I could make that available to you, but the service doesn’t work that way. For this to be a profitable business for me, I cannot take the same amount of cooking time and produce half the amount of food. It takes the same amount of planning, shopping and preparation time to cook 10 portions of food as it does for 20 portions of food.
