FAQs

I work with clients to identify the goals of their personal chef service such as allergies, dietary restrictions, and food preferences. Then, I create custom package options for clients based on this information. I offer personal chef services on a weekly, biweekly, and monthly basis. I will put together the menu, shop for ingredients, cook, cool, and store your meals. Every dish will be labeled with reheating instructions to add ease to your week. I will also keep track of your pantry items to avoid multiple purchases of the same staples. As the client, I ask you to review the menu to make sure you are excited about the food and provide honest feedback about the meals.

Anyone can benefit from working with a personal chef; whether you are looking to gain more time in your week, focus on healthier options, or have a specific dietary restriction, a personal chef can help. Part of our initial consultation includes identifying areas of extra assistance. This helps me create meal plans that are specific to the client so we can work together to get healthy, delicious meals in your refrigerator.

Yes, clients have full approval of each menu. Before every service, I use the client’s dietary restrictions and preferences to plan and propose a menu for the client to approve or request changes to. I track the meals I make for each client so that there is variety in flavor and dishes.

For a few different reasons, I do not provide nutritional information for the meals that I make. I cook with whole foods, minimal dairy, and next to no premade ingredients. I feel confident that the meals I make for my clients are equally delicious and healthy. Counting calories and measuring ingredients like seasonings or olive oil takes the fun and flavor out of food for me personally. If nutrition facts are the number one priority for you out of a personal chef service, then I recommend finding an alternative personal chef who offers this service.

In addition to personal chef services, I am happy to offer meal plans for clients who enjoy cooking but want help with the decision- making that goes into getting healthy and delicious meals on the dinner table. Check out the 'Meal Plans' tab at the top of the page to learn more! I am also available for one-time dinner parties. Please use my contact page to inquire about these!
