Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance do I need to book your services?

We recommend booking at least 5 days in advance to ensure we can accommodate your scheduling and dietary needs. Last minute bookings welcome subject to availability.

Who can benefit from hiring a personal chef?

A personal chef service is a fantastic option for anyone looking to feel great, look sexy, and be at their best without the time-consuming efforts of meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking. Ideal for executives and professionals with busy schedules, athletes training to perform at their best, empty nesters seeking convenient and nutritious meals, parents juggling family demands, seniors wanting to improve their health, and people recovering from illness.

If you're fed up with the same old fast food, greasy takeout, overly simplistic meal kits, or frozen dinners that never live up to their pictures, investing in a personal chef can dramatically upgrade your dining experience and improve your health and well-being.

How do you handle dietary restrictions and allergies?

We take dietary restrictions and allergies very seriously. During our initial consultation, we discuss your specific requirements to ensure that every meal is safe and enjoyable for you and your family.

What measures do you take for food safety?

We adhere to strict food safety protocols, including the use of fresh ingredients, proper food handling, sanitizing the cooking space, and maintaining cleanliness throughout cooking.

Is this a recurring service?

Yes, while you're welcome to order a single meal service to try our offerings, most of our clients opt for the convenience of a monthly subscription so they can keep their kitchens stocked with nutritious and delicious meals and make a significant and sustainable impact on their health.

What can I do to prepare for your visit?

To make the cooking process efficient, please clear your kitchen counters, ensure the sink and dishwasher are empty, and make space in your refrigerator and freezer.

How is the cost of the service determined?

Keep in mind this is an in-home, customized chef service that uses premium organic and local ingredients, and much of our expertise is in menu planning exquisite dishes that you'll loved based on your dietary desires and goals. Unlike other chefs, we ensure a hassle-free experience with no separate grocery bills — enjoy the simplicity, transparency, and predictability of knowing exactly what you will spend with no hidden costs.

Do I need to be home when you are cooking?

No, most clients are at work or out running errands during our cooking. This flexibility allows you to come home to a fridge full of delicious, ready-to-eat meals.

Can I customize my menu?

Absolutely! We specialize in creating custom menus that align with your dietary preferences and health goals, whether you want gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, vegan, or any other specific diet. Additional customization is available upon request. We'll send you a proposed menu at least 3 days before your cook date, giving you the opportunity to review and request any alternatives you'd like.

Do I get a different menu each week?

Yes! We design a new menu for you each week. If you've found favorites you can't get enough of, you're welcome to request them again. We combine a diverse range of exciting flavors with fresh seasonal ingredients to keep your dining experience interesting and satisfying.

What can I expect during the initial consultation?

Our 15 minute free Zoom consultation is designed to tailor our services to your specific dietary preferences and health goals. We'll also take a short virtual tour of your kitchen to see your setup and discuss food storage options. At the end of the consultation, you'll receive a price specific to your requirements. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions and see how our personal chef services can benefit your family.

How long does the cooking take?

The time we spend in your home can vary from 3 - 8 hours, depending on the menu and the number of dishes. We can adjust to fit within your schedule, ensuring that everything is ready when you need it.

What is a personal chef, and is it different from a private chef?

A private chef is typically hired full-time by one individual or family. In contrast, personal chefs like us serve many clients, each usually on a different day of the week. We prepare a series of meals all at once, which are custom-designed to meet each client's specific preferences and requirements. These meals are then packaged and stored in your fridge or freezer, ready for you to enjoy whenever you like. This arrangement offers flexibility and a variety of culinary experiences tailored just for you, making it easy to enjoy healthful meals throughout your week.

When and how do I pay?

We send you an invoice after our consultation. Full payment of the service fee is required to schedule your cook day and is payable by credit card, bank transfer, Venmo, or check.

How can I contact you?

You can send us a message or schedule a free consultation. We are always happy to answer your questions.

Where do you do the cooking?

We cook in your kitchen to ensure that every meal is exceptionally fresh and maintains its high quality when it's time to enjoy. This approach also minimizes the risk of cross-contamination with allergens or foods you prefer to avoid. Don't worry if you kitchen isn't fully-equipped: we come equipped with our toolkit of modern culinary essentials, including a sous vide circulator, so we can deliver a top tier restaurant experience right in your home,

Should I tip?

While tipping is not required, we would value it as a wonderful way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication that goes into preparing your meals. Thank you for considering it!
