Pricing varies and this is why an initial consult is so very important. Cooking for someone’s family is very personal; everything I cook is stylized to fit a particular family. I don't like to impose any constraints such as weekly menus that every family must choose from. Every week we will create a new menu together. No two families are alike and this is why pricing varies so greatly.

If you're even just a little curious, let's chat, and I'd be happy to discuss some options with you (in as much or as little detail as is required to satisfy your curiosity) and associated prices. No obligation, of course. Establishing and agreeing upon final pricing and terms is one of the initial steps once you decide you're ready to use my services.

I have over twenty-five years in the restaurant business and have done just about everything imaginable having to do with food. From steak house and fine Italian dining to gastro pubs and All American eateries, I have walked through many kitchen doors. Of all those doors, that of the family kitchen has always been the most important to me (my own especially). When I enter your kitchen, I am committed to using my experience and passion to cook the food and help create the experiences you and your family will enjoy time and again.

A “Consult” is short for our Introductory In-Home Consultation. This is time to have me into your home that will allow me to assess your current goals and needs and develop a meal solution customized for you and your family. This is the first step and essential part of any agreement we enter into.

My availability can be found on this calendar. Just choose a date to see available time slots. Then find a time that works for you and book your consult. Don’t worry if you have any questions or concerns prior to your session, I will contact you within a day or two of your booking.

The first step is the consult; this is where I come to your home to assess your family's current goals and needs in order to develop a program custom fit for your family. With your input, we will devise a customized family plan to allow for the best way to nourish and feed your family. The number of meals your family needs, the frequency, and what styles of foods work best are unique to your family. Although not required, a common format is: meals for X amount of people, at ages A, B and C, Z times per week. With your input, I will custom build a plan around your active family lifestyle, taking in account for any special dietary restrictions and goals.

On the day of your service I shop, I cook, I clean up. You walk into a clean kitchen with the only trace of my presence being a fridge stocked with delicious meals for your family and instructions for heating them at meal-time.

In addition to the traditional, in-home personal chef service, we also do in-home dinner parties, holiday prep, date nights and in-home cooking classes. Gift certificates are also available. What a perfect gift for new parents or new homeowners. You can also give gift certificates for anniversaries, Mother’s day, Father’s Day, holiday presents, corporate client gifts, newlyweds, thank-you gifts, and gifts for family and friends recovering from surgery or other medical needs.

If you're interested in learning more about which of my services might be right for you, let's chat - interacting with people and talking about food is one of my greatest pleasures.

Think about the cost of groceries and the time it takes to shop. Then, consider what you spend on take-out food, meals at restaurants and convenience foods from the grab and go section of your grocery store. When you add it all up, you will not be surprised to discover that personal chef service is a comparable cost.  Hiring a personal chef is no longer a luxury afforded only by the rich and famous – it’s ideal for you and your busy lifestyle.
