How it Works

Consultation

After you have finished looking over my website and have decided you too might like a little help from a personal chef then give me a call.  Once we have spoken we can plan on meeting in person for your family’s food/menu consultation.  During this consultation, we will go over and discuss the food questionnaire so that I can prepare you dinners with your specific food likes and dislikes as well as any allergies your family may have.  We will go over how often you would like my services …weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. And we will talk about packaging.

How your Meals are Packaged

Your meals can be packaged individually or family style.  They are stored in reusable containers that are microwave safe or can be put into baking dishes for the oven.  Depending on your request there could be a one time fee of $50 for the cost of more expensive baking dishes (such as Pyrex) that only your family will use.  If you prefer to have all your meals placed in single serving containers then there will be an additional fee of $20 for every cooking date.  Heating instructions will come with all your meals.  Some meals will be kept in the refrigerator while others can go into the freezer for later consumption.

Once we have decided on your first scheduled cooking day, I will plan your menu, make the grocery list, shop, cook, package, label, and deliver your meals all on the same day.  Depending on how many meals you order, this process can take up to 9 hrs.

Where I Shop

Great  cuisine must start from great ingredients.  I take the quality of ingredients I use very seriously.  Below are some of the suppliers I shop on a regular basis.

I frequent H-E-B weekly to get the bulk of the groceries.  I occasionally go to Hubbell & Hudson for hard to find one-of-a-kind items.  I am also part of a fruit and veggie co-op, so you can be assured that I can get the freshest fruits and vegetables at Houston's Farmers Market.
