What is a Personal Chef?
A personal chef is someone who cooks multiple meals for several families or individuals at the same time. Once every week or two, personal chefs shop for the groceries, go to the client's home and prepare several entrees at one time in the client's kitchen. The meals are then packaged and stored in the refrigerator or freezer and the clients are provided with re-heating instructions for preparing the meals throughout the week.

If you're someone who:
- Doesn't like to cook, but appreciates good food
- Is too busy to cook but loves home cooked meals
- Doesn't have the ability to cook because
        -You've been put on bed rest by your doctor
        - You have physical limitations
        -Young kids have taken all of your free time
- Wants to eat healthy, but doesn't know how

Testimonials:
Stephanie prepares several weeks of individually packaged food, that we freeze and then defrost to eat.   We experiment with different ingredients to comply with the food on my restrictive diet until we settle on a dish that is safe for me and is palatable, for example, I may not have garlic.   Stephanie will research substitutes for it and make sample dishes.   When we agree upon a dish to be made, she will continue to make packages (servings) of the dishes and/or provide us with the recipe so that we can make the particular dishes ourselves.  We can not recommend Stephanie too highly.  She is real treasure and a life-saver in the strict sense of the word.
