Hire a personal chef!
Not sure of the value of a personal chef? Here are 6 benefits to change your mind.

1. Variation
How many of us stick to the same tired rotation of meals – on Monday we have… on Tuesday it’s… on Wednesday… A personal chef will be creative with their meal planning, so you don’t have to eat the same thing week in and week out (unless of course, you want to).

2. Helps with fussy eaters
Are your children fussy eaters? Having someone else prepare their meals for them takes the stress away from you of having to plan and create food that they might not eat. And if you’ve ever had a tantruming toddler throw your homemade meal on the floor, you’ll realize the value in a personal chef.

3. Healthier food choices
If you’ve ever gone to the supermarket to do the weekly food shop hungry, you’ll likely have come home with bags full of treats and not much in the way of nutritious, healthy food items. A personal chef won’t do that.

Your personal chef will plan your meals in advance, shop for them and then prepare each one from scratch with fresh ingredients. You’ll forget what processed food even was.

But what if chicken kievs are your thing? Or you have a weakness for Mac n’ Cheese? Well, a personal chef will make these dishes for you, just not out of a packet. Think chicken breasts hand stuffed with homemade garlic butter and breaded with fresh bread crumbs, or pasta and freshly made cheese sauce. There’s simply no comparison. And if you and your family need snacks, a personal chef can even make these from scratch too – your house could be free from junk food for good.

4. Restaurant quality meals
If you have a penchant for eating out every night, why not bring that experience into the comfort of your own home? A personal chef has the training and expertise to make you fine dining style food every day if that’s what you like. In fact, you can choose to have a different cuisine prepared in your own kitchen for every meal if you want – a personal chef is there to cater to your tastes.

5. Saves you money
If you think hiring a personal chef is an expensive lifestyle choice to make, think again. How many times have you gone to the supermarket without a shopping list and bought on a whim? A personal chef will plan all of your meals in advance, write a shopping list, do one food shop and stick to the list.

This will save you a lot of money by not impulse purchasing food. A personal chef will also mean you don’t have to order takeout again, nor eat out every night. And if you have a large family or you entertain frequently, just think of the cost savings.

6. Gives you more time
When you’re short on time, hiring a personal chef means you will no longer be a slave to your kitchen. Not having to think about preparing meals, doing a food shop, cooking for your family and tidying up afterwards, you will have so much more time on your hands to do the things you actually want to do – spend time with your family, take up a new hobby, hit the gym, see friends, relax, now you have the time to do it.

Finally
You don’t have to be a millionaire to enjoy having someone else cook your meals for you. A personal chef is for everyone, they’re not a luxury reserved just for the rich – in fact, they aren’t just great at saving you time, they can actually save you money too

10 Reasons to Hire a Personal Chef

Looking for a great way to enjoy an evening with friends? Here are the top reasons to hire a personal chef!

1. It’s all about convenience. – No need to stress. You don’t have to lift a finger. A personal chef arrives with the food already prepped the way you might see in a restaurant. Everything is prepared at your home or rental. No need to drive, just tuck the kids in bed and we’ll pour you a drink.

2. No Clean Up- that’s right, this may be the best reason. A personal chef keeps the kitchen tidy as the courses go out, and in the end all of the dishes are done and the kitchen is often left cleaner than when we arrived.

3.Saves You Time- with a personal chef there is no travel time, no waiting for a table and when dinner is done you can go right back to enjoying the company of your guests.

4.Picking the menu – For your special occasion you are free to help design the menu. Guests dictate what they like and what you cannot stand. We accommodate all food preferences and dietary restrictions.

5.Eat when you want – You’re the guest and you decide when dinner is served.

6.Saves you money – no need for a cab, no corking fees, and no babysitter, that’s a no brainer.

7.Your # 1 – Man talk about luxury. Instead of being 1 in 100 or 500 covers you are the most important guest on our list. We are there to serve you and you will have our undivided attention.

8.Join the fun or just watch – You or your guests might be interested in participating in the cooking. We offer mini cooking lessons such as cake decorating demonstrations. If you are not interested in participating you may enjoy getting a glimpse of a Chef in action, as is food being prepared and plated right in your kitchen.

9. Hand-picked ingredients – One of the benefits of hiring a personal chef is that every piece of fruit, produce or fish is handpicked by the Chef not the food purveyor. All seafood is purchased locally and comes from sustainable sources. We do our best to source meats, produce and grains locally as well.

10. Makes a great gift – Hiring a personal chef for a friend or family member makes a great gift. Did your friend just have a baby, maybe your mom hasn’t been feeling well or you just want to get something for the person that has it all. Give a gift that will not just end up in the back of the closet. Give you friend or family member an experience that they will always remember. Gift Certificates are available.
