What is a home meal replacement service?
    
    A home meal replacement service is provided by a personal chef that is a qualified, trained professional taking care of your meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking. All of the cooking is done in the comfort of your own home, cabin, condo or chalet kitchen. A home meal replacement service prepares fresh, healthy, and delicious meals based on your personal preference and dietary requirements. It also gives you an alternative to fast food, take-out, and tasteless frozen dinners.

     

       Who would need a home meal  
                   replacement service?

     Anyone who does not have the time, interest, or skills to plan, shop for, and make daily meals would need a home meal replacement service. It is for anyone wanting meals on their own time schedule, with no dining out hassles. Typical clients who use this service are busy professionals, singles, affluent seniors, families, people with special dietary needs or disabilities, vacationers, and anyone who would want less stress with more time in their days.



                 How does a  home meal 
              replacement  service work?
 
     A home meal replacement service works by first scheduling a complimentary consultation by phone. A food questionnaire is then presented to you, to fill out, to help us customize your menus for your tastes and dietary requests. Our package plans are then discussed in detail, to see which one works best for your needs, and then a cook date is scheduled. Prior to your cook date, a menu is submitted to you for your approval. On the cook date, the freshest ingredients are purchased and brought to your kitchen, along with the cooking equipment. Your meal plan is then prepared and all meals packaged in disposable containers. These containers are labeled with reheating instructions. Your kitchen is then left clean and filled with aromas of what you are about to feast upon.

    


            How are all the meals stored?

     Your meals are stored and fall into two categories: 1.) FRESH/REFRIGERATED: These meals are to be eaten within 4 days of preparation. 2.) FREEZER: These meals are to be eaten within 2 months of preparation. (All you have to provide is a clean sink and counter top, a working stove, microwave, and refrigerator. Also, you will need to have adequate space available in your refrigerator and freezer to store all of your meals.)


          How often will I need the service?

     The frequency of the service will depend upon your needs. Some clients use the service once a week, every two weeks, once a month, or occasionally. You may require the service more frequently if you eat your meals on weekends or for lunch.
