Personal Chef
To provide your household with healthy, made from scratch meals. Using the freshest, organic, and natural ingredients. I grow produce in aeroponic gardens and depending on the season grow lettuces, kale, peppers, tomatoes, and culinary herbs. I will source some items from this garden weekly and this is included in your daily chef fee. Additional items will be at my retail pricing for my produce.
Meal Planning
To develop a meal plan that meets the household’s dietary needs, including input from all family members. This is extremely helpful especially for homes with limitations on what they can eat. This can include food allergies, religious restrictions, and the yes and no’s of the household.
Grocery Shopping
Once the meal options are selected, the ingredients needed to prepare the food will be bought and delivered to your home. I am happy to shop and the pricing for my time is listed below, groceries are additional and will be invoiced with copies of the receipts. If you wish to shop that is fine too. The organization of the shopping list is included in your daily chef fee.
