What is a Personal Chef?
A personal chef service provides great tasting food and the precious gift of time with a convenient and affordable solution to the age old question: “What’s For Dinner?”
A personal chef service is the answer to great tasting, healthful, affordable meals enjoyed in the comfort of your home without the daily grind of shopping and cooking.
A personal chef offers a professional service of meal preparation. A client’s individual tastes drive the creation of their customized menu. These personalized meals are prepared in a client’s home and then packaged, labeled and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
What Does a Personal Chef Service Include?
Customized Menu Planning
A personal chef service takes the time to learn your individual needs and preferences. They use this information to create delicious meals personalized to your individual tastes.
Grocery Shopping
A personal chef service performs the shopping for you. They purchase the freshest and finest ingredients just before coming to your home and preparing your meals.
In-Home Meal Preparation
A personal chef comes to your home with everything needed and prepares multiple personalized meals in your kitchen.
Storage and Cleanup
The personal chef packages and stores your meals in your refrigerator and freezer. They leave your kitchen sparkling clean and your home filled with aromas of freshly prepared foods.
What areas do you service?
We serve the South Charlotte, Pineville and Matthews areas
What if I am trying to lose weight or am on a special diet?
We can accommodate many special diets such as Weight Watchers, South Beach, low-fat, low-sodium, etc. We can work on a plan to suit your individual dietary needs.
Do you use my cooking equipment and utensils?
We bring everything we will need to prepare your meals. The only things we will use in your kitchen are the oven, stove, counters and space in your refrigerator/freezer to store the packaged meals.
Why not just order take-out or buy those already prepared dinners at the grocery store?
Having a personal chef is more than just being able to fix a meal quickly. A personal chef service is just that… personal. It is about eating exactly what you want and knowing you are eating the freshest ingredients with no preservatives, chemicals or mass-distributed pre-packaged food.
Do I have to be present when you are cooking in my house?
No, there is no need for you to be home when we are cooking unless you want to be. We are fully insured and operate under the United States Personal Chef Association’s Code of Ethics.
What if each person in my family has different food preferences?
Each menu is carefully planned and customized based on your family’s answers to a food questionnaire. We have enough recipes and service plans to accommodate many likes and dislikes. For example, if a couple asks for our services but one is a vegetarian and the other is not, we would create the following service plan: Instead of the standard service of 5 entrees with 4 servings each, we would create a menu that has 4 entrees, but with 5 servings each. Two of the entrees would be vegetarian, and the other two would include meat. That way, each person gets the meals they want and the same number of servings.
