Common Questions about our Weekly Personal Chef Service
How many meals?
That depends on your menu and how you and your family plan to eat it. The variety of dishes consists of entrée items, vegetable dishes, hearty pastas or grains and soups. Quite often our clients use us for 5 meals, usually evening dinner for home or lunches for work. We will work with you to meet your needs for meals.
How do you estimate portion size?
Since we offer the service for a flat rate plus the cost of groceries, we realize this could leave the amount of food up to interpretation. We cook based on experience of what we think you’ll need for each dish and are happy to adjust portion sizes if it is too much or too little.
Where is the food prepared?
We come to your home and prepare the food in your kitchen. We will work with whatever equipment you have and bring along any additional tools we may need.
How often do you come to cook?
We come to your home once a week on a day that works best for you and our chefs’ schedules. You can choose a morning or afternoon slot. Service options include weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly service, subject to availability.
How long does it take to cook the meals for the week during your visit?
Usually we are cooking in your kitchen for generally 3 to 4 hours – this includes set up, prepping, cooking, and clean up. Times can vary.
What equipment do I need?
Our chefs are very experienced, versatile and comfortable in any kitchen. We can improvise for certain things, and will double check before if we need certain specialty equipment or tools.
What if my kitchen is really small?
Not to worry! As professional chefs we have experience cooking in kitchens of all shapes and sizes and will make your kitchen work in ways you never thought possible.
What if I have some of the ingredients already?
Before your first cooking appointment, your chef will contact you to see what pantry ingredients you may already have (i.e. salt, spices, flour, oils, vinegars). We welcome your input, so if you have anything in the pantry or fridge you’d like to use up…just let us know when we’re putting together the menu!
How do we store the food?
We store the food in your ‘tupperware’ or other re usable microwavable food storage containers. We are happy to pick containers up with the groceries if you’d like us to – please let us know.
Do you take into account dietary needs?
Absolutely. We can cook Gluten free, Vegan, and Vegetarian, Kosher, Heart Healthy, Low Sodium, Low Sugar, Low Calorie and more. Specify what needs or restrictions you’d like us to work with when filling out the online consult form and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
Can I be home while you’re cooking?
Yes of course! We prefer that you are at home. We are ‘guest’ chefs in your home and want you to feel comfortable to go about your routine. While we do not allot enough time for “instruction,” we are happy to converse and welcome you to observe. For safety purposes, we ask that kids and pets be supervised, but are of course welcomed to be around and observing as well.
Do I need to make a commitment or sign a contract?
We do not have set packages or a limited menu to select from like other personal chef and meal delivery services. Each family gets to decide how many portions they need to make it through the week. They are welcome to change that amount week to week, or even take the occasional week off for vacation if necessary. We have no contracts
