FAQ

WHO NEEDS A PERSONAL CHEF?

Anybody who wants freshly prepared, custom-made meals ready at their convenience. Most people hire a personal chef because they do not have the time or desire to cook. Business professionals, expecting or new parents, busy working families, seniors, people with specific diets, or people recovering from illness are all great candidates for personal chefs. We save our clients a lot of time on grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning!

HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?

HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?

A complimentary consultation will take place between you and your Set The Table consultant. During that time, we will discuss your dietary/allergy needs, food likes and dislikes and figure out what works best for you.

We will plan and develop a custom menu with multiple food choices for you to approve and then pick a date that works for your schedule. A confirmation with all the details and a client agreement contract will be emailed to you (a 50% service deposit will be required).

On the day of your service, your chef will purchase the freshest ingredients available at the local markets and specialty stores and always will try and use organic, hormone-free ingredients, whenever possible.

The chef normally arrives a few hours prior to your mealtime for private dining experiences and/or weekly meal preps. 

At the end of all services, your kitchen will be cleaned and you will be left to enjoy your delicious food.
