Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Personal Chef Service?
  A Personal Chef is someone who prepares healthy, delicious, and nutritious meals based on your personal taste. They do all the planning, shopping, preparing, and cooking. All the meals will be packaged and labeled with instructions. Meals are stored in your refrigerator or freezer with clear and concise labels for reheating. You enjoy the convenience of having delicious meals prepared and ready for you in your home when you want them.
   
• What are the benefits of having a Personal Chef?
  In addition to having delicious meals prepared and ready for you, I do the grocery shopping, selecting the freshest ingredients for your meals. I don't just go to the local store and get whatever is available. I will shop multiple locations to get the finest ingredients. Think of the time and gas you will save not having to go to the grocery store. No more hunting for a parking spot, standing in line, or wandering the aisles wondering what to buy. Think of the time you will save not having to prepare your meals. No need to drive out and grab fast food. No more waiting in a restaraunt when you really want to be doing something else.
   
• How does it work?
  We schedule an initial consultation to evaluate your specific dietary needs, taste preferences and how often you'd like me to cook for you. You then get to place your order from my current menu and reserve your cook day(s).
   
• Who would use a Personal Chef?
  • Hard working Professionals... no more planning shopping, and cooking at the end of your already busy day.
  • Company gifts... reward hardworking and dedicated employees with a little pampering and some much needed R&R.
  • New families...what a great gift for a new mother and father. Let me prepare some healthy dinners for them so they can spend time with their new baby.
  • Busy families... tired of fast food? Dreading the inevitable question, "What's for dinner?" No time to shop or prepare for meals? Wouldn't it be nice to have healthy and delicious meals already prepared for you?
  • Persons with disabilities... delicious and healthy meals are available when it's physically difficult to shop and spend hours preparing and cooking meals.
