Getting Started
In-Home Meal Preparation
Our Personal Chefs will handle all the grocery shopping, then come to your home and prepare fresh, gourmet meals in your kitchen that you can easily heat, serve and enjoy all week long!
​
We also have an option for a "fill the freezer" meal prep session where we will create premium frozen meals that you can heat and serve whenever you're ready. Our frozen meals will last up to one year in the freezer.
​
Meals are custom-designed and chef-prepared for your taste and lifestyle preferences and created with premium, locally-sourced ingredients - and when we're done your kitchen will be left as sparkling clean as when we arrived.
Dinner Parties & Cooking Classes
We love to entertain with food!
Gather friends and watch Chef Gail prepare exciting and innovative dishes while inspiring guests with "secrets of the pros." She will also share interesting and captivating cooking techniques while allowing guests a "hands on" cooking experience.
​
Hosting a dinner party? For an immersive, intimate dining event choose a Personal Chef to prepare and serve the meal on-site. This is a wonderful option for groups of 30 or less where foodie guests can mingle in and out of the kitchen, chat with the chef, and experience food as well as enjoy it.

Cost of Services
After your initial Chef Consultation, you will be provided a quote for services. The cost of services will include the hourly cost of professional chef services plus food costs, billed in advance.
​
We have both fixed-price options and hourly rates. Our hourly rate for in-home personal chef services is $100/hour plus cost of food.
The quoted cost will depend on the number of meals and portions being served, the proteins selected, and the complexity of menu items chosen.
​
Our minimum charge per on-site session is $350. The average cost for a family of four with 5 to 7 meals prepared is $500/week plus the cost of food.
​
A note about Spices and Specialty Ingredients:
We will bring our own spices and specialty ingredients at no additional charge. This avoids the extra expense to our clients of purchasing ingredients when only a minute portion is needed for the recipe.
