How does your personal chef service work?
There are a couple of steps to get started:
First, Shoshana’s Kitchen will begin with an initial consultation to discuss your dietary needs and personal menu preferences
Second, Shoshana’s Kitchen will plan and customize a menu based on your food preferences, for your approval.
Once approved:
We will schedule a “cook day.” On your scheduled cook date, Shoshana will do all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and packaging of your meals with labels and heating instructions. Items will be placed in your refrigerator or freezer, depending on the service you choose and then you get to enjoy
Why Hire A Personal Chef?
IT SAVES TIME, IT’S A HEALTHIER WAY TO LIVE And IT SAVES MONEY!
Time is our most important commodity.
If you think about how much time you spend on cooking and preparing dinner and/or lunch (for work) everyday, it amounts to a lot of time you could be spending with your loved ones, your friends and even yourself.
Can You Give Me Another Reason To Hire A Personal Chef?
A Personal Chef can help you feel better in your body:
By providing meals made with the freshest of ingredients (Unprocessed, Locally and Organically Grown, Sustainably Farmed) it is likely that one can feel better physically. Food can actually heal our bodies and taste good at the same time. Environmentally, a Personal Chef Service cuts down on the over use of take-out containers and plastic bags which just end up in the landfills and our oceans. There is a ripple effect.
Who Would Benefit From A Personal Chef Service?
- Busy working Couples and Singles
