Step 1 – Personal Chef Service Free Consultation
When you find yourself interested in our personal chef service, Step One is to call us for a Free Consultation. We will answer all of your questions about how our systems work, discuss your dietary needs, and how we will best meet your needs and expectations. Contact our Chef Laura directly to set up this free consultation, at 250.514.1544.
Step 2 – Book an Assessment with Chef Laura
Once you have your questions answered, and are ready to go ahead with the service, Step 2 is to book an In-home Assessment with our Chef Laura. She will come to your home to meet with you and your family members, to build rapport and discuss service details, query and record your family members food preferences and/ or allergies; assess the layout of your kitchen, kitchen supplies and food storage equipment, and answer any questions that you may have since our telephone consultation. *This in home visit is fee-based, and travel fees may also apply based on location and travel time: see ‘How the Service Works’ document below for details.
Step 3 – Chef Laura cooks for YOU!
Step 3 is having Chef Laura show up at your home on the day of service, fresh groceries in hand and ready to cook for your family. Once the food is prepared, it is packaged in your own storage containers, labeled and refrigerated or frozen. We provide an Instructions sheet which will clearly list your menu, number of portions, and cooking or reheating instructions. As we tidy up, we will use your on site recycling, laundry, cleaning supplies, and compost. When you get home, you will find your kitchen tidy, dinner ready, and a home that smells delicious!
Service Packages & Customized Plans
Our services range from pre-planned packages to customized plans, to fulfill your meal planning requirements and expectations. Your service package will be based entirely upon how you need us to serve you and your families food preferences and/or allergies, dietary and lifestyle needs. We then prepare that healthy, wholesome food for our clients in their homes, via a weekly fresh service, or volume cooking (some to freeze), on a bi-weekly, monthly or as needed basis.
We look forward meeting your family, and setting up a service that will provide you with the best organic and natural whole-foods meals available, prepared with the greatest care and attention, according to your specific dietary needs.
