How it works and the Five-Star™ Services you receive

Your personal chef arrives at your home with all the cookware, cooking utensils and ingredients necessary to prepare, in generous portions, the food items you selected.

Your meals are packaged in storage containers she brings with her, and placed in your refrigerator and freezer. Chef Adrienne provides you with a copy of your menu outlining detailed reheating instructions for each item she's preparing for you.

Most meal packages can be prepared in your kitchen in 6-8 hours. For some packages, multiple cook dates may be necessary. You provide your kitchen, oven, stovetop and microwave and your personal chef will fill your kitchen with the aroma of good food.

Pricing of meal packages reflects an All-Inclusive Culinary Service. Your package includes the following:

• Keeping your family's food preferences and interests a priority
