Hosting a Dinner Party? Hire a Personal Chef!
Think only the rich
and famous have the privilege of having a personal chef
wait on their every craving or gourmet pleasure? Think
again.
Personal chefs are
now helping couples and families to present fabulous
home cooked dinners to their guests. And it's not as
expensive as you think!
Why hire a personal chef?
A personal chef will bring the food,
create a nutritious and balanced meal, figure out the
servings needed (so you don't need to deal with leftovers)
and most of all give you the freedom to focus on other
aspects of entertaining while still providing the best
food for your guests.
Are you hosting a business lunch? An
intimate wedding reception? Or even an intimate dinner
for two that just HAS to be the best? A personal chef
can handle any order. You can usually choose from a
selection of courses they provide or arrange for a customized
menu.
How much does it cost?
Prices will vary but you can expect
a weeks worth of meals (containers, food and cooking
included) to be about $350 for a family of 4 (20 meals
of entrees and side dishes) or $175 for a couple (10
meals of entrees and side dishes).
Some services will prepare all the meals
at once while others will deliver or prepare the meal
in your home throughout the week.
How do I find a personal chef?
Finding a chef is easy by using the
USPCA (United States Personal Chef Association - www.uspca.com)
or the CPCA (Canadian Personal Chef Alliance - www.cpcalliance.com).
Here you will find information on personal chefs as
well as a directory of members in your area.
Will they do meals just for my family?
Personal chefs are more than just a
catering service. For busy professionals who are looking
for quality meals and more time with their family, a
personal chef will prepare several entrees and side
dishes, store them and clean the kitchen. For the rest
of the week all you have to do is take them out of the
fridge or freezer and reheat to enjoy gourmet meals
all week. For families who turn to fast foods and restaurants
the cost may actually be less than what they are currently
paying.
Some personal chefs also can be booked
for private or group cooking lessons. Invite a group
of your friends to learn the art of creating delectable
pasties or sumptuous seafood from an expert!
While not everyone needs the daily services
of a personal chef you may wish to treat yourself to
the luxury of a fabulous dinner at home - no cooking,
cleaning or experience necessary!
