Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do you cook in my home or somewhere else?

No.  During your FREE in-home consultation, Your Chef  will discuss which equipment you would be willing to allow her to use.

 

Do I need to be home during my cook date?

That is completely up to you.  During the in-home visit, you and  Your Chef will discuss how she should enter your home if you are away.

 

How will the food be packaged?

There are many options to choose from and  Your Chef is willing to package foods however you feel most comfortable.  You can agree to use glass or plastic containers that you already own, Your Chef  can select a new set of containers for you to purchase, or Your Chef can use disposable oven & microwave-safe biodegradable containers.

 

How long will a cook date last?

The duration of a cook date can vary depending on the package you select and the complexity of your menu.  Typically, Chef  will be in your home preparing your meals anywhere from 4 to 6 to 8 hours.

 

How much do groceries typically cost?

Grocery costs vary depending on where the shopping is done (specialty store vs. normal grocery store), how many portions Your Chef  will be preparing for your family, and how many meals are in your chosen package.  For a 5-meal package, shopping primarily at a normal grocery store, groceries should average around $100-$150.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract for services?

No.  When we first agree to work together, Your Chef will place you on her regular schedule of clients.  That being said, Your Chef  understands that life happens and situations can change.  All she asks is that as a courtesy, you provide at least 2 weeks notice if you choose to cancel your services.
