what to expect with personal chef service
Step 1 - Dining Consultation
First, I’d like to get to know you. If you are like most people, food is personal and associated with all kinds of sensory needs and perceptions. It’s what sustains us. I want to make sure we get this part right. We will begin with a complimentary, no-obligation consultation via phone, email or in person.
During this consultation, we’ll determine any dietary requirements or restrictions, personal taste preferences and best menu options for your family or guests.
Step 2 - Menu Creation & Approval
After our initial meeting, I will provide you a custom menu designed around your specific requirements, budget, and preferences. You’ll have an opportunity to review and approve your menu and make any desired changes. After your final menu is approved, we will book a service date and get started.
Step 3 - Provisioning
I hand select the freshest and highest quality ingredients for your meal. I source locally from tried-and-true providers and use seasonal ingredients whenever possible. This helps keep costs down and provides you with the highest level of nutrition.
Step 4 - In-Home Dining
Now, the fun begins! I will arrive at your home with equipment and groceries to create a family meal or special event that you and your guests will savor.
