Most clients are serviced on a weekly or bi-monthly schedule. The chef comes to your home and prepares all the dishes and stores them in glass pyrex containers in the refrigerator.
You receive a FREE phone consultation to discuss your and your family’s dietary needs. The grocery shopping is included but not the groceries which will be billed separately. The food is purchased, prepared, cooked and packaged with complete clean-up of the kitchen.
The list of dishes is made available on my website. There are over 200 items to choose from.
It varies according to the package you order. For package 1, the chef will be in your kitchen for about 3.5 – 4 hours.
Most dishes freeze well with the exception of salads.
It is best to reheat just the portion of food you want to eat in a pot/skillet stovetop with a little water or oil to coat the bottom of the pot/pan. Insert the food, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes. Mix and serve. Alternatively, you will be able to heat the food up in a 275 degree F oven for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. I do not recommend using the microwave oven to heat the food. It has been reported that it changes the molecular structure of the food.
COOKING CLASSES
It is a 3 hour class in your own kitchen. It is either all demo or partial hands-on where you will be involved in the preparation of the food.
In 3 hours, we will be able to prepare 4 dishes. It usually consists of 1 main dish, 1 soup or salad, 2 vegetable dishes and 1 grain dish.
The private cooking class is for 1-2 people. If you have more than 2 people, you would look into a small group class.
Yes, I will teach you the various knife cuts so your food will have equally sized pieces.
