What is a personal chef?

A personal chef is someone who creates a menu according to your palette. A personal chef does all of the shopping and prepares healthy entrees and side dishes in his or her own kitchen. These dishes are then delivered to you, ready to heat and serve in the comfort of your own home.

Who gets the groceries?

As your personal chef, I will shop for freshest produce and highest quality of meats, fish, and poultry available just as I would if I were preparing the food for my own family. Your grocery bill will reflect the menus you have selected.

How are the prepared foods stored?

I will be glad to package your foods in freezer-quality reusable containers such as Rubbermaid, Pyrex or Tupperware products. All packaged products will be labeled and dated for your convenience. If you prefer this option and do not currently own suitable sizes or quantities, I will be glad to purchase them for you.

What about long term storage?

Vacuum sealing is the ideal method of storing frozen foods, although it is not suitable for all menu items. f you wish to use the vacuum sealing method (for appropriate food selections), there is a $.75 charge per vacuum-sealed item. This covers the cost of packaging materials.
