Can I afford a Personal Chef?
Yes you can, just add up the time spent planning, shopping cooking and cleaning up!
How about those nights when you end up ordering out or even going out to dinner, because of that traffic jam on the way home, or your just too tired to cook!
Maybe you have tried a new recipe and it ends up down the drain!
Here is the real value…
Healthy meals without preservatives made by people who LOVE to cook! Chef’s who will only season to your taste and always consider the entire family when preparing your meal.
We save money and time by calling our vendors ahead to make sure that roast or chicken is wrapped and ready to be purchased to bring to our kitchen to prepare. We will ask for the daily/weekly specials and try to get the best ingredients for the best prices!
Finally, we know where all the best specialty shops are located, we have the grocery aisles memorized, we will be considerate and not frivolous!!
How it works…
After you have contacted Affinity, we will set up a complimentary in-home consultation visit. At that time we will extensively discuss the food likes and dislikes of everyone in your home. Special dietary needs and/or food allergies are of the utmost importance at the time of this meeting. We will also discuss any additional food shopping you will need for your cupboards or fridge and finally day and time of these deliveries.
The more we know the better we will be able to prepare your meals to your exact needs or desire.
After our initial meeting we will customize a menu for your first delivery date with pricing based on your ingredients along with a time estimate for preparation. We use the best and freshest quality of ingredients, this can cost more, but the benefits are worth every penny more spent for the best. We try to use only Organic produce, grass fed/free range meat products and the freshest wild fish.
We do our best to work with local vendors, but will also travel to specialty stores for that perfect ingredient for you and yours!
We will deliver the food in your cookware or disposable containers; we will include heating directions and all menu items will be labeled so there are no questions!
Our Chef services are for week-day services only.
Weekend deliveries are available for an additional fee with an advanced notice of 72 hours.
