What is a Personal Chef?
A Personal Chef is an experienced cuisinier who comes to your home and prepares meals based on your personal tastes. All the planning, shopping, cooking, and packaging are completed for you. Meals are stored in your refrigerator or freezer, with clear and concise labels for reheating. By following a few simple instructions, your meals will taste as if they were just prepared. You can also be a “guest” at your own dinner table by letting a Personal Chef prepare and serve each course.

Do you need to cook at my house?
Yes. Provincial health regulations require Personal Chefs to prepare your meals in your home kitchen or in a commercial kitchen. Preparing your meals in a commercial kitchen, however, increases the cost of your service.

Do I need to be home on my cook day?
Most Personal Chef clients are busy working people just like you. After an initial consultation you can choose to have your Chef cook when you are home or away. As a member of the Canadian Personal Chef Association and The United States Personal Chef Association, Personal Chef’s adhere to a strict code of ethics. They are also fully insured for any unforeseen contingencies.

Do I need to provide the cookware for cooking or containers for my meals?
Your Personal Chef will bring all of the equipment necessary to prepare your personal meals, including spices and containers. All we need is a clean sink, counter top, and some refrigerator and freezer space to store you food.

How much does the service cost?
The cost for service depends upon the number of people for whom your Personal Chef is cooking; whether they are heavy or light eaters; the menu chosen; and any special dietary requirements. A basic meal plan is called a 5x4 meal service and consists of four portions each of five entrees with side dishes. Clients may also purchase soups and desserts as add-ons to basic service. The cost for the basic meal plan is $225 plus the cost of food. A one time container fee (for storing prepared meals) will be charged on the first cook date. The cost of containers depends on the type of container you choose (e.g. Rubbermaid, Gladware, etc.) These containers then belong to the client and can be reused.
