All too often our busy lives force us to choose fast food or tasteless frozen entrees when we'd much rather enjoy the benefits of good, home-cooked meals. Unfortunately, our schedules rarely leave us time to plan, shop, and prepare the kind of food we'd like to eat. L&K's Personal Chef Service believes that "EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF!", and is committed to providing services to match an individual's, couple's, or family's unique tastes, lifestyles, and budget. . . .

It was all done for you by your very own Personal Chef who has provided you with affordable, (and delicious!), meals that are customized to your specifications, and prepared in your very own kitchen!

Think how good it will feel to eat nutritious and healthy meals, prepared with only the freshest ingredients available and never prepared with any preservatives! EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF!
I like to think that I have been in training for my career as a Personal Chef for most of my life. I began baking yeast breads, rolls, and cookies with my grandmother at a very young age. As I grew up, I developed a love for collecting and reading cookbooks of all types. And, as a "latch-key kid", I was given the opportunity to prepare dinner for my older brothers and my parents on a regular basis. As an adult, I owned a busy private piano studio, and was involved in a variety of volunteer activities as well. But, as the mother of three, and the wife of a very busy professional, my one true joy and satisfaction was preparing delicious, healthy, home-cooked meals that would please a variety of tastes, (including my vegetarian daughter)! I also never knew exactly how many "extra" mouths I'd be feeding, so learning to be flexible was definitely necessary! And with all three children in high school at the same time, participating in a wide variety of after school activites, I developed strategies to be able to serve their meals at differing times, without their food tasting "warmed-over". I also enjoyed catering meals for large groups, as well as preparing more intimate dinner and cocktail parties at home for our friends and business associates. Then, I found myself in the unique position of being able to sit back and really think, (and dream!), about what I would like to do with the rest of my life. Not surprisingly, all roads pointed to my lifelong love of cooking. So I chose to attend the Culinary Business Academy in Atlanta, Georgia and study to become a Personal Chef . .. and the rest is history!
Just what exactly IS a Personal Chef, and who can benefit from a Personal Chef's services? To put it simply, a Personal Chef prepares unique and personalized meals for singles, couples, families, the elderly, people with specific dietary and/or health concerns, parents of new babies, guests at extended-stay hotels, over-worked and/or over-scheduled individuals, parents who value the family "dinner hour", families where everyone seems to be on a different schedule . . . in essence, just about anybody! EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF! So how does a Personal Chef Service actually work? When you hire a USPCA Personal Chef, the chef will come to your home and collect detailed information regarding food preferences, dining/serving styles, and individual lifestyles. The chef will use this information to develop a menu for one or two weeks of meals, and present it to you for your changes or approval, prior to your scheduled cooking day. On the morning of the cooking day, your Personal Chef will grocery shop for the freshest, top quality ingredients, and arrive at your home with all the necessary equipment and utensils to completely prepare your meals. The meals will be prepared and cooked in your kitchen, and then packaged appropriately for either refrigeration or freezing. Detailed instructions for thawing and reheating will beincluded with each meal. Your kitchen will be left sparkling clean, and your home will smell wonderful! You will simply need to reheat the meals and relax, stress-free, enjoying your extra time, your clean kitchen, and the fabulous food! EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF! That sound great, but it must be expensive - how could I ever afford a Personal Chef's services? L&K's Personal Chef Service's motto is "EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF!", and I take this very seriously. Fees are based on types of foods that a client requests, the frequency of cooking days, the number of meals to be prepared on a cooking day, and the number of portions. Additionally, when a client realizes how much actual money he or she has been spending on fast foods, pizza, pre-made frozen entrees, take-out Chinese, boxed dinners, etc., (most lacking nutritional value, and providing little or no satisfaction or excitement for your taste buds), the modest fee for a Personal Chef's services are a wonderful surprise! AND, who can possibly assign a dollar amount to the extra time you will be gaining and the peace of mind you will be experiencing? EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF! OK - I'm interested, but how do I determine if this is really for me? It's simple! Just contact me by phone or e-mail to schedule a no-obligation, free consultation in your home, at your convenience. My goal is to make each meal the very best you have ever tasted! In order to accomplish this, we will need to discuss your food preferences, dietary needs, and any other requirements or requests specific to your unique situation. I have the ability to prepare over 1,000 delicious gourmet meals or comfort foods to your specifications, and I'm always willing to prepare any of your own favorite recipes! We'll get to know each other and complete a detailed questionnaire, covering everything from food likes and dislikes to the number of meals I would prepare on a normal cooking day, to sizes of individual and/or family portions. We will then set a date for your first cooking day, because EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF! Oh, and one more thing . . . You will receive a 25% discount on your 3rd and 8th cooking days, as well as opportunities to benefit from other specials I offer throughout the year. Now, repeat after me: "EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF, EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF, EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSONAL CHEF!" - especially you!! Click your heels three times, turn around and pick up the phone or e-mail me! I look forward to meeting with you and helping you to both de-stress and enhance your life!
