Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
All pricing includes client assessment/consultation, customizing menus, recipe research, shopping for the freshest ingredients, preparation of meals, packaging, labeling, storing of meals and leaving your kitchen clean and full of the aroma of fine cooking.

Do you cook in my kitchen?
Yes, I prepare your meals in the safety of your own kitchen.  On our agreed upon cooking date, I bring the fresh ingredients for your meals along with my own pots, pans and utensils, and prepare your meals on site.  At the end of the day I leave your nice kitchen clean!

How long will you be here?
I'll be cooking several different entrees and side dishes from scratch, so it will take several hours. I am most willing to work with your schedule or situation, and we can make arrangement in advance so that my cooking date is compatible with your schedule.

I'll be home that day. Is it okay if I watch or help?
As a professional chef it is my responsibility to get your meals completed in a timely manner. Conversation or inquiries would slow down the process but can also distract me and cause burns, cuts, and forgotten ingredients. You are welcome to come in and visit for a few minutes. But I need to be "in command" in the kitchen in order to complete the job I've been hired to do.

Do I heat the food?
Yes.  Any entrees that have been stored for you in your freezer should be defrosted overnight in your refrigerator, and heated to be enjoyed at the peak of their flavor. I will be happy to leave you easy instructions on how to heat each entree.

How much freezer space do you need?
It depends on the number of meals you request and the size of the containers, but it does generally require a considerable amount of freezer space.  I will take a look at your freezer to see how much room you have available.  Efficient storage is one of the reasons I prefer to select the appropriate uniform-sized storage containers for my clients.
