A Tasty Alternative To Institutional Cooking

	Delicious Entree's Prepared and Cooked Specifically for your Diet with Fresh and Healthful Ingredients.
We shop for, prepare, cook and package up to two weeks of meals for you and your family. All our meals are prepared from scratch using only the freshest ingredients (local produce when available).

	Free Consultation
We spend time with you discussing your individual likes/dislikes as well a any food allergies or sensitivities you may have. We do our best to cook according to your taste not ours. We do our best to prepare foods that will improve your well being and health, paying special attention to health concerns such as diabetes, heart disease, etc. Because all cooking will be done in your home, we would appreciate a tour of your kitchen.

	Value Added Grocery Shopping
The morning of your cooking date, I will give you a call volunteering to pick up additional items such as laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc. at the grocery store while shopping for the items needed to prepare your menu selections. You reimburse us from the store receipt. We do not charge for this service.

	Leaving Your kitchen Clean
We package, label with reheating instructions, and properly store, prepared meals in either your refrigerator or freezer. Once meals are properly stored, we will clean up after ourselves, leaving your kitchen clean and smelling of the delicious foods we prepared.

	Licensed and Insured
We carry a $1,000,000.00 insurance policy in the unlikely event something would happen while cooking in your home. We carry all required licenses for your jurisdiction. In addition we are members of the American Personal & Private Chef Association.

PERSONAL CHEF SERVICE PLANS AND FEES

Fireside Culinary Services is a "Fee Plus" Service. On the day of your service we go shopping for you, to get the grocery items needed to prepare the menu you selected. We give you the store receipt which you reimburse us for. There is no "mark-up" on groceries. You will be charged a fee based on the number of meals we prepare.

Lunch and Dinner for Five people = 10 Meals
Bi-Weekly Service $60 + Cost of Groceries

Prices are comparable to eating out, however, no restaurant offers the personal service and menu flexibility offered by Fireside Culinary Services. We prepare everything in your kitchen, serve or package it for later, and leave your kitchen spotless when we leave.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I do in preparation for my scheduled cook date?

We need enough space to store your meals in the freezer and/or refrigerator. To preserve freshness meals that will not be eaten within 2 - 3 days after the cook date should be frozen.

How Long Will it take for you to prepare my meals?

This varies according to the number of meals being prepared, but is typically in the range of 4 - 6 hours.

How do I reheat meals that you've prepared?

Thawing and reheating instructions are provided with each meal we prepare. Thawing should always be done in your refrigerator. Instructions are included for reheating using either your oven or microwave.

Would you mind if I watch you prepare my menu selections?

Not at all. We do need to give attention to properly preparing your menu selections, but we enjoy conversation as well. We can successfully accomplish both.

How large are your servings?

We attempt to adjust serving sizes to your appetite. We want you to be fully satisfied with the serving sizes we provide, but, do not want meals reheated more than once as meal quality will suffer.

What about household animals?

We love Dogs and Cats, however, we ask that you be sensitive to the way your pet reacts to us. We do not like being bitten, scratched, barked at constantly, or having our work interfered with by a pet that's constantly under foot or jumping up on us. In addition we are concerned with cleanliness while preparing your meals, and will not allow pets to be on the countertop or anywhere they would compromise the safe preparation of your menu selections. Pet spiders, lizards, or snakes must be properly caged in another room before we arrive. We will immediately leave if we see them.
