As a Personal Chef I go to people’s homes and cook several meals for them; some to be eaten right away, some in the fridge for the next few days and even some in the freezer.
I specialize in teaching others (the clients themselves or their caregivers) to cook nutrient dense seasonal foods that taste amazing and happen to be really good for you. I use fresh organic, seasonal ingredients, locally produced if possible, to ensure the healthiest base for my recipes.
As a Certified Nutritional Chef I specialize in cooking for Seniors as well as for cancer patients (see the About Me page for credentials). However, I am also trained in a number of other areas such as Diabetic, Obesity, etc. I will happily work with you and your medical professional to create a great tasting menu for you to enjoy.
I will come to your house one time or once to twice a week for up to a month, then we can see from there. If someone is ill I will happily shop and cook for them for a few weeks until they are up on their feet again. I also feel it is important to have soups in the freezer for emergency illnesses, particularly for seniors. This service is ideal for out of town family members who want to ensure their loved one is eating healthy nutritious foods.
Sessions are generally billed out as follows:
1 hour menu planning and grocery shopping
3 hours cooking or teaching and cooking
So the minimum order is 4 hours x $45/hour = plus the cost of groceries but I shop and I clean up the kitchen afterwards!
I do accept credit cards and I do deliver if you have someone in an East Bay hospital who needs some special attention (driving time will be billed out in 15 minute increments). I am very familiar with hospitals, will have everything labeled and will advise the nurse that the food is there.
Feel free to call or email me for a free initial consultation about your particular needs. My first meeting with a new client takes place in their home so I can see the cooking space and equipment to assess what I will need to bring. There is no charge for that meeting.
