A personal chef service differs from a catering service
in that all the food preparation is done in your home rather than prepared
in advance in a commercial kitchen and kept at serving temperature until
it's served. That means you'll truly enjoy "home cooked" meals,
prepared for you right in your own kitchen. |

Here's how the process works when you
hire me to cook Meals "Ready to Heat": |
|
1. |
The process begins with an interview. I'll
meet with you to discuss your personal preferences regarding menus:
specific food likes and dislikes as well as any allergy considerations
or dietary restrictions you may have. I prefer to conduct the interview
in your home so that I can get acquainted with your kitchen and understand
what basic equipment you have in the way of pots, pans and serving dishes.
|
|
2. |
Each weekend I'll plan 5 dinners for the
following week. Over the weekend, I'll FAX the menus to you for your
approval. |
|
3. |
Once we agree on the menus, I'll do the shopping,
choosing only the freshest, highest quality ingredients required for
your week of meals. If just a pinch of this or a handful of that is
needed, I often supply these things (dry goods or spices) myself, saving
you money. |
|
4. |
At a mutually agreed-to time on Monday, I'll
arrive at your home to start cooking the week's meals. In addition to
the groceries, I also bring my own knives and any special cookware the
menu demands. I will prepare the entire week's meals on Monday and leave
them packaged for you with all the instructions you need to serve them
for the remainder of the week. |
|
6. |
When I'm done preparing the meals, I'll clean
up, leaving your kitchen just as I found it. The only evidence you'll
have that I was there are 5 delicious, home-cooked meals sitting in
your fridge, all "ready to heat." |
