How It Works

01

Initial Assessment

Chef Charlene comes to your home with a culinary assessment to fill out with your help. The assessment captures your tastes, likes/dislikes, food allergies, and any dietary or health requirements. At this time you will also discuss the desired frequency of service and your first cook date will be scheduled. To get the freshest dining experience possible weekly service is recommended.

Chef Charlene will then review your assessment and create a meal for you. You can view our menu on our menus page.

Meal Preparation

Chef Charlene will spend 4-8 hours preparing the meals, adhering to strict food safety rules and regulations.

05

All food will be packaged and placed in either the fridge or freezer. Reheating directions will be provided for each meal.

06

Clean Up

Chef Charlene will clean your kitchen prior to leaving.
