CHESAPEAKE CUISINE
A Personal Chef Service For Southern Maryland
YOUR PERSONAL ASSESSMENT:
This is where I meet with you in the comfort of your home. This gives me a chance to discuss your individual food preferences, likes and dislikes, allergy or diet concerns. We can talk about which storage containers would be most useful and I can see the layout of your kitchen including your refrigerator and freezer spaces. My goal is to provide a service that best fits your needs.
MENU PLANNING:
During the personal assessment we will discuss menu options, I have a large range of entrées in my sample menus and I can research many more favorites you may request. The menu choices are yours to make, although I am happy to make suggestions. You can choose the number of entrées in your plan and one side dish to accompany each entrée. Once we have the menu selected, we will finalize your cook date.
CONTAINER CHOICES:
There are several choices for food containers. If you are heating your entrées in the oven and eating them mainly at home, I recommend glass Pyrex type containers. For regular weekly or bi-weekly service a set of these would be a one time cost of approximately $60 - $70. If you prefer disposable glad ware type containers the cost is approximately $15 per cook date
COOKING DAY:
On your cooking date, I will shop for the freshest, highest quality ingredients required for your chosen menu. Along with the grocery items, I will bring all my own equipment and utensils. I will require only a clean kitchen and clutter free counters. I will be using the stove, oven and sink and at the end of the day the refrigerator and or freezer.
THE END RESULT:
I will be cooking somewhere between 6 and 8 hours and at the end of that time you will be left with a clean kitchen and the savory aromas of all that wonderful food. Your meals will be packaged to be stored in either the refrigerator or freezer. I will leave a detailed menu of the entrées I have prepared for you along with easy to follow heating instructions.
PAYMENT FOR SERVICES:
Payment is due each cooking date. A check can be made out ahead of time and left in a convenient location.
SCHEDULING REGULAR COOKING DATES:
I offer weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and occasional services depending on my clients needs. When we schedule a cook date please understand that I am reserving that entire day for you. Cancellations, if necessary must be done at least 48 hours prior to your cook date.
