The Standard Service

This is our most popular Personal Chef program and is used either once or twice a month so you have several ready-to-eat meals handy in your freezer at all times for those days when you don't have time to cook. We customize your menu by following your specific requirements based on the New Client Assessment Form.

The Standard Plan includes 5 entrées of 4 servings each (20 meals). Every entrée includes an appropriate side dish to complete the meal.

5 entrée Standard Plan — $299 + groceries

Fresh Weekly Service

Almost like having your own private chef, we cook for you every single week which allows you to avoid freezing your meals. This service is also great for those who are following specific nutritional requirements or who want to maintain an ongoing organized diet regimen.

Every entrée is for 4 servings and includes an appropriate side dish to complete the meal.

3 entrée Fresh Weekly Plan — $179 + groceries
4 entrée Fresh Weekly Plan — $209 + groceries
5 entrée Fresh Weekly Plan — $239 + groceries

The Economical Plan

By working with standardized menus you get to take advantage of a personal chef at a lower price. Every month the menus will be different so you get plenty of variety.
