  • In addition to my 30 years of experience cooking in fine dining restaurants and owning a private chef business.

  • Not at all! Most of our clients are out of the home working or doing whatever they love while we are in their home cooking and cleaning. You are welcome to be home and visit the kitchen as frequently as you’d like.

  • The average menu takes 5 hours for shopping, travel, cooking, and clean-up time. An average schedule is 9am-2pm. Special requests or additional dishes will take more time. Menu creation and communication times are free for you.

  • We expect you’ll be traveling with your family at some point! Please alert me of any travel as soon as possible. Because I offer weekly meal-prep services, I block out that day of the week for you for the foreseeable future and do not take any other cooking opportunities for those dates. For travel lasting 7 days (1 week) or less where 1 service will be missed, there is no charge. For travels more than 7 days (or where a second service week would be skipped) and you are expecting services to resume as usual when you return, there are 3 options: 1) a $350 maintenance per week starting week 2 until services resume; or 2) I can do a complete pantry, cupboard, and refrigerator clean-out and deep clean; and/or 3) You may gift cooking services to a family member or friend. They would pick up the food at your home on their own time. Most clients choose 2 and 3 to utilize my services.

  • No longer worry about remembering to settle invoices or sift through additional emails during your hectic week! Our process involves gathering your credit card details through a secure form, allowing us to make secure payments for your groceries at the store and services through Stripe. This streamlined approach eliminates the need for invoicing, ensuring that the current week's transactions are swiftly settled, and allowing you to plan the upcoming week without the burden of unpaid invoices. Your credit card statement will reflect separate entries for grocery and service charges. Additionally, you'll receive a paper receipt from the grocery store and an electronic receipt via email from Stripe for services rendered.
