Frequently Asked Questions

Bowl of Mediterranean Food on Wood Table Personal Chef Services
  • We plan, shop, cook, and clean up—so you don’t have to. Your chef prepares meals in your home and leaves your kitchen clean, stocked, and full of delicious food.

  • Our service model is built on a lasting relationship.   

    But it starts with a 2-week trial to ensure it’s the right fit and moves into a regular commitment after that. If you decide the service is no longer right for you, we ask for a 30-day notice.  

  • I usually say the number of meals equals the number of hours it takes to cook it.  

  • Not at all! Many of our clients are at work, running errands, or juggling life while we’re in the kitchen. As long as we have access to your home and any entry instructions, we’re good to go.

  • We use as much of your equipment, pantry items, spices, and other essentials as possible—so everything feels familiar and suits your taste. We’ll bring specialty tools or ingredients as needed and will go over this during your consultation.

  • Grocery costs and packaging are billed separately so you only pay for exactly what you need. This allows us to tailor groceries around your budget and preferences (organic, local, specialty items, etc.)

  • Everything is tailored to you—from gluten-free, dairy-free, or allergen-aware meals to kid-friendly dinners, gourmet dishes, or high-protein meal prep. We specialize in making everyday meals feel nourishing, convenient, and joyful.

  • Yes! That’s our specialty. We’re experienced in working with allergies, autoimmune protocols, plant-based eating, and more. Your chef takes your dietary needs seriously—and with creativity and care.

  • Meals are designed to stay fresh for at least 4-5 days when stored properly. We provide food storage and reheating instructions and are happy to offer tips based on your schedule and fridge space. We can discuss this further during your consultation.

  • We totally understand that life gets busy. We ask for advance notice (typically 7 days) and one vacation week per quarter at no charge. Additional skipped weeks incur a chef retainer fee to hold your spot.
