frequently asked questions
What is a Personal Chef Service?
A personal chef will plan the menu, do the grocery shopping, cooking and clean up. Imagine coming home after a long day and in just a few minutes, you are enjoying a delicious and healthful dinner. The best part is you didn't have to shop, cook or clean up!
Aren't Personal Chefs just for the Rich and Famous?
No longer a luxury, a Personal Chef Service is now within the reach of a vast majority of the population. Most of my clients are working people who are just too busy to cook or don't care to cook, but know the value of good healthy meals cooked in their homes. I will plan the menus, shop for groceries, cook, package, and clean up for about the cost of eating out at a mid-priced restaurant.
What if I am trying to lose weight or am on a special diet?
As a Registered Dietitian, I am able to offer my expertise in nutrition along with my personal chef services to help customize meals to meet your specific needs. I will work closely with you to provide meals to meet nearly any dietary requirement.
What areas do you service?
I am located in Danville, IL and am available to locations within about a 30 mile radius.
Why do I need a personal chef I pass by the restaurant on the way home?
Why get in the car, fight the traffic, drive to the restaurant, wait to be seated, and choose from a limited menu, which may or may not meet your dietary needs when you can enjoy a personalized meal in the comfort of your own home?
How are prices determined?
After the in-home interview, the specific needs and expectations of the client can be evaluated and a price can be developed based on that. Diets which require a lot of special ingredients or preparation may be more expensive to prepare. In general, the price per meal is similar to the cost of a moderately priced restaurant meal in this area.
