Personal Chef Service

A Truly Custom Service

The Fresh Chef continues to offer a limited number of personal chef service dates for those who require cooking to specific dietary plans or those whoprefer a more personalized meal service.

There are no restrictions on menu choices, and you may choose from a virtually unlimited menu that offers premium entrées, fresh seafood, and gourmet dishes. The number of visits and the amount of meals prepared are tailored to your specifications.

Special Diets including Gluten Free 

Whether you are on the South Beach, Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), a low-sodium or diabetic diet, or need a menu free of dairy, soy or gluten, we can tailor your menu items to accommodate your special dietary requirements.

Weight Loss and Weight Management

Whether you are working with a health professional or managing on your own,  we will prepare healthy and delicious meals for you that help you lose or maintain weight.  The Fresh Chef has many years' experience cooking delicious low fat, low calorie and low carb recipes.  Since we cook and bake from scratch and use real ingredients, we can create dishes that are yummy yet follow your dietary plan.  Your meals really don't have to taste like cardboard!

How it works

We ask that you complete our Client Questionnaire (see link, below) which will help us determine your food likes and dislikes, and any dietary restrictions.  When you are ready to proceed, we plan your first menu for your approval, then we shop, prepare and package your meals in our commercial kitchen, label them and deliver to your home.

We may charge a one-time fee of $100 for initial research and planning, plus a set service fee everytime we prepare your personalized meals, which includes customized menu planning, shopping, meal preparation and packaging.  The cost of groceries is extra and will be billed separately, as are any containers we purchase on your behalf.  We can shop at your favorite store and can even buy all organic ingredients!  It's up to you.

Usually we prepare 20 or more meals at a time, based on your preferences. We prepare 5 entrees of 4 servings each (20 meals).  We can prepare additional servings as requested.  The cost is as follows:

“As a vegetarian (and a finicky eater in general), it is often difficult to find menus suitable to my preferences. Chef Virginia's meals taste as scrumptious as they sound--and her custom creations are both fresh and comforting. "
