How it works

Since the personal chef business is a relatively new concept for many people, I would like to explain how the process works. I encourage you to thoroughly explore my web site so you are well informed of all I can do for you before our initial consultation. Please utilize my services to their fullest potential; “Personal Chef” means just that – Personal. I am able to custom-tailor menus for you that will help you achieve your dietary goals. Some of my clients are diabetic, some gluten-free, some are single parents. Whether your goals are to lose weight, eat more healthfully, or just to get your family to sit down together several nights a week and enjoy each others company without the stress associated with this rather daunting task, I can help.

A Personal Chef (PC) plans personally designed menus for their client’s approval in advance of each cook date, taking into account their personal taste preferences, dietary restrictions, and dietary goals. On the scheduled day of service, the PC will shop for your groceries. She will thoughtfully and carefully prepare your customized meals in the safety of your own kitchen. The PC will package your food in quantities you specify (single portions, portions for two, or family style) and place it in your refrigerator and/or freezer with detailed warming instructions provided for each dish. The PC brings all of her own equipment and will leave your kitchen clean with the smells of home cooking and your refrigerator full of healthy food.

This service is designed to be very flexible and accommodating. It should make your life imminently easier, save you time and energy, and positively impact your health and well being.

If you would like to try the services of a Personal Chef, contact me and I will be glad to meet with you at your home for a complimentary visit. I will conduct a thorough assessment of your food allergies, likes and dislikes, and goals. We will discuss how frequently you will require service to meet your personal needs, what stores you would like me to shop at, and what type of containers will be appropriate for your needs. Finally, if mutually agreed upon, we can arrange for a cook date to begin the process of providing you with homemade, healthy, preservative free and delicious food.

It’s really quite simple!

BBQ Chicken

The butternut squash lasagna that we had last night was out of this world. It had the perfect balance of squash, cheese & a nice hint of sage. My husband and I would look at each other after each bite & say "this is delicious!".  
The best part of the meals that you created for us was that I didn't have to do it. I would recommend you to anyone expecting a baby! We were able to eat healthy, well balanced meals even though we were thoroughly exhausted by dinner time. Thanks Kathleen!
