Why Eat Local

Buying local supports farmers and conserves energy. Watch food journalist Michael Pollan's video Why Eat Local.
  How It Works

As a personal chef I can function in many food realms, but the bulk of what I do is cooking and storing food for clients on a regular basis in their own homes. There is always much curiosity around the hiring and occupation of a personal chef. Here, I share a bit about the process, affordable ways to budget, and how it all works.

Life, Easier

The way I see it my, besides cooking, my job is to get you and your family to the table where you can sit down with ease together. Our bustling lives make it difficult to find time to just sit, let alone cook, and enjoy a meal leisurely with our family. This is where Farm to Fork comes in…

I begin the cooking day at the market where I select the best possible local and sustainably grown produce, meats and other ingredients. In your kitchen I prepare an agreed upon number of wholesome meals tailored to your requests and restrictions. I store the meals in your fridge or freezer, label them with reheating instructions, clean up, and leave you with your menu where I will highlight some of the local ingredients incorporated into your dishes.

Who Hires a
Personal Chef?


My clients are often short on time and energy. I help them create variety and find healthy new ways of eating.

• Busy families
• Pregnant or new moms
• Career professionals
• Working couples

Dietary & Nutrition
• Diabetics
• Seniors living at home
• People who want to change their eating habits
 

Schedule

Generally I come once every other week, on a regular schedule, but if I’ve time available we can set it up where I come only once a week, once a month, or irregularly.  Depending on which of my sessions you choose I will be in your kitchen between 4-7 hours, just in time for you to come home to a clean kitchen stocked with delicious meals.

Budgeting for a Personal Chef

Having a personal chef do the cooking is affordable if you find yourself eating out at restaurants a few times a week, are too often ordering take-out and passing through the fast-food drive-through, buying stacks of frozen pre-packaged foods at the market and other convenience foods, and are constantly throwing out moldy heads of lettuce and blocks of cheese from the fridge into the garbage can.

Thanks to you...my friend called me yesterday to tell me how good the food was, that their kitchen has never been so clean and that it was the perfect gift for them.
