How My Personal Chef Services Work
Bringing a personal chef into your home should feel easy, thoughtful, and enjoyable. My process is designed to be simple, collaborative, and completely tailored to you. Whether you’re planning a special gathering or looking for ongoing support in the kitchen.
1. Start With a Consultation
Every experience begins with a personal chef consultation. We’ll talk through your needs, preferences, dietary considerations, and the type of experience you’re looking for, from weekly meal prep to private dinner parties, small celebrations, or cooking demonstrations.
2. Thoughtful Menu Planning
Based on our conversation, I design a custom, seasonal menu rooted in fresh ingredients and mindful cooking. Each menu is created specifically for you and your guests, with care given to flavor, balance, and the rhythm of the occasion.
3. Cooking, Serving & Enjoying
I handle the shopping, preparation, and cooking so you can relax and enjoy the experience. Whether I’m preparing chef-crafted meals for the week or cooking on-site for a private event, everything is done with intention, warmth, and attention to detail.
4. Ongoing Support (Optional)
For weekly meal prep or recurring services, we continue to refine menus and preferences over time — creating a seamless, nourishing rhythm that fits naturally into your life.
