The great thing about a personal chef service is that it is personal. I take pride in meeting and interviewing all my clients. I work with you to learn your tastes and preferences before custom designing your menus.
In-Home Consultation
The first step is a no-obligation consultation and assessment in the comfort of your home. What do you like to eat? What don't you like? Do you have any allergies? Are you trying to follow a special diet? I learn as much as I can about your culinary needs — and get acquainted with your kitchen. If you decide to give Comfort Food a go, you decide how many meals you want and how often.
Menu Planning
The next step is to plan the meals. No two palates are alike — I draw up suggestions based on your tastes and dietary requirements. Menu design is kept fresh and seasonal — there's no rigid formula. Do you have a favorite dish mom used to make? I can prepare it. A favorite recipe? I'm happy to adapt it. With your approval, we set a cook date and prepare grocery and equipment lists. And after each set of meals, we review the menus and hone in on the dishes that made you happiest.
Cooking
On the agreed-upon cook day, I shop for the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, arrive with all the cookware needed, and prepare the meals in the safety of your own kitchen.
The preparation takes anywhere from 4 to 6 hours, depending on the number and types of meals.
At the end of the day, your meals are packaged, and your refrigerator is stocked with freshly-cooked dishes for you to heat and eat at your convenience. All items are labeled with ingredient lists and simple heating instructions.
Clean-up
Before leaving, I clean the kitchen and remove all traces of cooking. You might not know I was there, except for the aromas
wafting from your kitchen and a fridge full of food. You're ready to enjoy a variety of delicious meals in your home without touching a pan or setting foot in a store.
