Are you a private chef?
I am your personal and private chef. When
the day arrives, I’ve planned the meals, based on our initial
consultation. While you go to work I am off to the grocery store. Then
I go to your house to cook, package, clean up and leave. On the following
day I may be doing the same for yet another client. I hope that feels
both personal and private to each of my clients.
How is this different from catering?
A caterer plans and cooks food for special occasions. The food is often
prepared in a commercial kitchen and delivered to the event. My service
addresses needs on a more regular basis and I prepare several meals
on the same day. All preparation occurs in YOUR kitchen.
Can the food be prepared
somewhere else?
Currently, the Health Department regulations prohibit food preparation
and transportation from a non-commercial kitchen. Time For Dinner does
not presently own or have the use of such a kitchen. Preparation of
food in a client’s kitchen is approved by the State and the Health
Dept.
How will my meals be packaged?
I use a combination of Pyrex, Gladware, Reynoldsware, vacuum sealed
bags, disposable aluminum pans and possibly your own dishes. I can package
your food in single servings, family style or anything in between. Together
we will decide what works best for you.
What if I have a special diet that I must
follow?
I will make your meals align with your diet. I am not a dietitian but
given enough information I can satisfy your health needs and your taste
buds.
How long does this take?
It takes several hours to prepare 3 - 5 entrees with accompanying side
dishes. In addition there is packaging and clean up. This is a full
day of work for me, beginning with the shopping.
Do I need to be home when the Personal
Chef is at my house?
No. But the chef does need access to you house, at least to the kitchen.
How do I pay for this service?
Payment for each cheffing day is due 7 days prior to the date. If you
are a regular client, you will probably choose to leave payment for
me on each cheffing day to cover the next cheffing date.
What exactly does the price include?
The price includes our initial consultation,
the planning and creation of menus, grocery shopping, preparing the
meals, packaging, instructions for heating, and cleanup of the kitchen.
If time is a valuable commodity in your life, this service will save
you many hours.
