Meal Service
Chef Michele's goal is to make each meal the very best you have ever tasted! In order to accomplish this, she must know about your preferences and your dietary needs. Chef Michele has the ability to prepare gourmet meals to your specifications as well as preparing favorite recipes you may have. When you hire Chef Michele, she will come to your home and conduct an interview and complete a detailed questionnaire. She then uses the results of the interview and the questionnaire to develop your menus. Each menu lists entrees and some side dishes for a two week period and is presented to you for your approval prior to your scheduled cooking day.
Meal Preparation in Your Home
Once you have approved your menu, Chef Michele will schedule a day to cook in your home. She arrives with all of the utensils needed to complete your meals. Chef Michele will cook the food in your home, then package and refrigerate or freeze each item, and leave thawing and reheating instructions. By following these instructions your meals will taste like they were just prepared! Your kitchen will be left clean and your home smelling wonderful. You simply reheat the meals and enjoy the free time, the clean kitchen, and the fabulous food.
Variety of Healthy Menus
Chef Michele has the ability to cook not only to your tastes, but also according to your dietary requirements. So, if you need a low fat meal and you don't eat red meat, don't worry. You may want to try the turkey and black bean chili, or maybe you would prefer the lime and cilantro marinated shrimp. If neither of these entrees appeals to you there are many more you can try. In fact, over 400 entrees are available, which means you won't see the same meal twice in a 6 month period unless you request a repeat of favorites.
