What is a Personal Chef?
Personal Chefs customarily work for several clients, unlike a Private Chef that works for only one client. Personal Chefs are known for custom in-home catering, party assistance, holiday cooking, baking, prepped meals, cooking classes in our kitchen and other culinary services.

A Personal Chef helps families gather around the table for meals, allows singles to eat healthier, and couples to enjoy more quality time with food they love. Busy, time-starved families hire a Personal Chef in order to eat better and enjoy good food custom prepared just for them using the freshest meats and produce, herbs, and just the right amount of spice.

Who Uses A Personal Chef?
There is a misconception that a personal chef service is only for the the very wealthy. Most of our clients are busy professionals, active families, new moms, career-oriented singles, working couples, individuals with special dietary needs. Most just love the idea of coming home to affordable, healthy, great tasting meals--without all the fuss.

What is the Weekly Ready-to-Reheat Dinner Service?
Think of this as your own personalized in-home cooking service. Once the menu has been decided upon, on a scheduled cook date, Chef Jacki shops for groceries, arrives at your home with cooking equipment in-hand, and prepares several entrees with side dishes, that have been customized to your specific tastes, special diet, and eating goals.

Chef Jacki will put each days’ meal in a freezer pack complete with heating directions. You will love the convenience of having home cooked meals in your freezer and ready to reheat for the week. The first meal is prepared and served to you fresh the first day of your service.

How Does the Weekly Personal Chef Service Work?
First, to customize your meals, Chef Jacki will talk with you about your favorite foods, discuss allergies and dislikes, and then prepare a menu for you.

Where are the Meals Cooked?
The preparation is done beforehand and the cooking is done in your own kitchen. Chef Jacki will use only the finest quality ingredients available. The meats chosen are cuts from a superb local butcher, all purchased on your cooking day. Usually only market or organic fruits and vegetables will be offered. The seafood will be purchased at a fish market and consumed on the cook date, ensuring top flavour and texture.
