Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Personal Chef, and What Does He or She Do?

These meals are packaged in containers, labeled with reheating instructions, and stored in your refrigerator and freezer for you to eat at your leisure. You enjoy home-cooked meals without worrying about what to serve for dinner.

A personal chef may also prepare your food in a licensed commercial kitchen and deliver it to your home or place of business
