How does it work? 
We start by getting to know you with a free consultation that will illuminate any food preferences, allergies, and dietary needs you may have.  On your Meal Service date, your personal chef will arrive at your home with the freshest ingredients available for your personalized menu.  We will cook, clean and leave behind labeled meals, heating instructions and the heavenly scent of a home-cooked meal.  Services may take 2-4 hours, depending on your menu and the number of meals requested.
