Chef Anne Mooney, A Personal Chef Service

Is a Personal Chef Right for You?

It’s 5:30. Your client has just called to say he’d be late. Could you possibly wait? Or your boss has just brought you the revisions she needs you to make on that project that’s due tomorrow. You check your watch. Even with your commute, you could still make it to the gym – if you skip the grocery store and opt for carryout. You call your husband to let him know.

Sound like anyone you know?

It’s 5:30. Will you have time to pick up the kids from soccer practice and piano lessons, get the dry cleaning, go by the gas station (that little light on your dash has been on for a while now) – and still get to the grocery store? What time will it be when you finally get dinner on the table? Maybe, if you pick up pizza, you can still make it to the dry cleaner and the gas station, get the kids and eat before 8:30. When was the last time these children had a green vegetable, anyway?

Can’t remember?

REWIND:

You smile at your boss and tell her, “No Problem!” You’ll still have time for the gym, because you know you have a beautiful piece of fresh fish and a crisp, bright green salad all prepared and waiting for you at home. All you have to do is heat the fish and put dinner on the table.

Or, you get in your car, turn on your favorite CD, run your errands and pick up the kids, secure in the knowledge that there is a fresh roasted chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy and a fresh vegetable all ready for you at home. Family dinner is just waiting for you to heat it up and put it on the table.

Your day just has just had two extra hours added to it!

That’s what happens when your Personal Chef has been to your house.

But can I afford it?

Ask yourself these questions.

How many times per week do we eat out?
At the end of the week, how much perishable food do I throw out – because it spoiled in the fridge while my family and I ate carryout or frozen convenience foods?
How much time per week do I spend shopping, cooking and cleaning up?
If you have been buying commercial frozen prepared foods, read the labels on the boxes. How many of those ingredients can you actually pronounce?

Add all this up, and the Personal Chef service is much more affordable than you might think.

You can come home every night to a home-cooked meal that has been custom designed for your tastes, prepared from fresh ingredients with no fillers, additives or preservatives, that has been individually packaged and neatly packed into your refrigerator or freezer for you to enjoy at your leisure.
