Private Chef – how does it work?

First, I do the shopping - it takes me about 1 hour. I prefer Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s for their selection of organic produce, and availability of pasture raised meat, poultry, dairy and eggs. I pick my choice of fresh produce and everything else I would need for the visit and bring it to your kitchen. You pay for the ingredients.

Then I come to your house at preferred time and begin preparing the dishes. This takes about 4 hours, which gets you 3-4 full meals depending on your preferences and complexity. I can cook pretty much anything. In advance I will provide you with my recommendation for the ceramic trays I like, which is of course, up to you. Those are medium and large trays, with flat ceramic covers, which makes them perfect for stacking vertically in your refrigerator. While I am cooking, I can share some of my kitchen techniques and recipes if you like. Meals come with your choice of protein, side dish and salad. They are pre-cooked, which means you finish the cooking process in by placing the tray in the oven for time and temperature specific to the dish. This approach is much better than reheating because it delivers the look and taste of a just-made food.

After the prep is done, I leave the trays with your food in the refrigerator and clean up the kitchen.  All that is left for you to do is to place it in the oven for 15 minutes and enjoy your chef-made dinner with your family.

For the 5 hours visit I charge $350.
