How Your Personal Chef Service Works
Ready, Set, Go…
Working with a Personal Chef should not only provide you with healthy, gourmet meals, but it should be easy to do. With Ready, Set, Eat! in your kitchen, you’ll see just how easy it really is.
Our goal is to make each meal the very best you have ever tasted! To accomplish this we must know about your preferences and dietary needs. For example, do you have food allergies? Do you require a diabetic diet or other special diet foods including child nutrition or organic menus? With Ready, Set, Eat! it’s no problem! We have the ability to prepare gourmet meals to your specifications as well as preparing favorite recipes you may have. Here’s how it works…
1. Complimentary In-Home Consultation
Your Ready, Set, Eat! Personal Chef will visit your home for a detailed consultation to discuss your preferences, dietary goals, favorite cuisines, serving sizes, and food storage needs. You’ll also complete a personalized food questionnaire that helps us design menus tailored specifically to you and your household.
Using that information, we’ll create a customized menu featuring entrées, side dishes, and portion recommendations. Nutritional information can also be provided upon request.
Your final menu will be sent for approval approximately one week before your scheduled cooking day. Full payment is due upon menu approval.
Initial consultations are complimentary when booking your first service. Consultations without a booked service are billed at $45 per hour.
2. Grocery Shopping
One of the biggest benefits of working with Ready, Set, Eat! is leaving the grocery shopping to us. We carefully select and purchase all ingredients needed for your meals, saving you valuable time and eliminating unnecessary food waste.
No more crowded grocery stores, impulse purchases, or forgotten ingredients—just fresh, thoughtfully selected foods ready to be transformed into delicious meals.
3. In-Home Meal Preparation
On your scheduled cooking day, we arrive fully prepared with groceries, cookware, utensils, and everything needed to prepare your meals right in your kitchen.
Your customized menu is prepared in a single cooking session, with meals professionally packaged and stored according to the highest quality standards. Refrigerated and frozen items are clearly labeled, and you’ll receive detailed reheating and thawing instructions along with nutritional information for each meal.
Best of all, once the cooking is complete, we handle the cleanup too—leaving you with a spotless kitchen and a home filled with incredible aromas.
4. Stock Your Refrigerator & Freezer
After preparation, your meals are neatly packaged, labeled, and organized in your refrigerator and freezer for easy access throughout the week. Whether you’re grabbing dinner after a busy workday or planning meals ahead, everything is ready when you need it.
Great food at home has never been more convenient.
5. Gourmet, Every Day!
With everything prepared and ready to enjoy, all that’s left for you to do is heat, serve, and relax. Spend less time cooking and cleaning, and more time enjoying exceptional meals with family and friends.
