What is a Personal Chef?

A Personal Chef is a professional service that comes into your home to prepare multiple meals for you and/or your family. They are labeled and stored in the refrigerator or freezer and left with heating directions. If you eat out at restaurants often, a Personal Chef service will save you time and money because you won't have to wait for a table or battle traffic. If you are in the habit of grabbing fast food on the way home, a Personal Chef Service will allow you to eat healthier and on your own schedule. It is a complete service from menu planning to grocery shopping, food preparation and clean up. All you have to do is warm your customized entree and enjoy.

Customized Menus
Your Personal Chef's goal is to make every meal the very best you have ever tasted. In order to accomplish this, they must know your preferences and your dietary needs. Your Personal Chef can prepare most any style of food or cuisine to your specifications as well as preparing any favorite recipes you may have. When you hire a Personal Chef, the chef will come to your home and conduct an interview and complete a detailed questionnaire. The results of the interview and the questionnaire are used to develop your personalized and customized menus. Each menu lists entrees and some side dishes and is presented to you for your approval prior to your scheduled cooking day.

Meal Preparation in Your Home
Once you have approved your menu, a day is then scheduled to cook in your home. Your Personal Chef will arrive with all of the utensils needed to complete your meals. The food is prepared and cooked right in your home, then packaged and each entree is then either refrigerated or frozen. You will be left complete thawing and heating instructions. This will ensure your meals will taste like they were just made! Your kitchen is left clean and your home smelling wonderful. You simply heat the meals and enjoy the free time, the clean kitchen, and the fabulous food.

Complete Grocery Shopping
On your scheduled cooking day, your Personal Chef will shop for the groceries needed for the meals on your menu. They will purchase all of the items needed and the cost of these groceries are included in the charge for the service.

Freshest Vegetables
Your Personal Chef will select the freshest vegetables available for your meals. When possible, produce harvested that day is used. Organic vegetables are available upon request at an additional cost.

Top Quality Meats
The meats selected are of the finest quality available. The cuts are the most tender, and all are purchased the day your Personal Chef cooks for you. Prime cut meats are available upon request at an additional cost.

Freshest Fish
Your Personal Chef will select the freshest fish available for your meals. All of the fish will be purchased the morning of your cooking day.

Freshest Herbs and Seasonings
The herbs used in your meals are always fresh if possible. If the herb is not in season, your Personal Chef will use dried herbs. Organic is also available upon request at an additional cost.

Variety of Healthy Menus
Your Personal Chef has the ability to cook not only to your tastes, but also according to your dietary requirements. So, if you need a low fat meal and/or you don't eat red meat, not to worry. We have hundreds of recipes available, which means you will not see the same menu twice in a six month period unless you request it.
