Client Praise
"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."
-Julie

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

I begin the cooking day at the market where I select the best possible organic and locally grown produce, meats, and other ingredients. In your kitchen, I prepare an agreed upon number of wholesome meals that have been tailored to your requests and dietary restrictions. I store the meals in the refrigerator or freezer, label them with thawing and re-heating instructions, clean up, and leave behind ready-to-go meals and wonderful aromas from preparing the food.

Who Hires a
Personal Chef?


Many of my clients are short on time and energy. They may need help creating variety, have special dietary needs or want to find healthy new ways of eating.

Busy Lifestyles
• 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.
