WE’VE GOT DINNER, SO YOU’LL HAVE THYME |
||||||||
|
How It Works |
||||||||
|
After an initial phone consultation we will schedule a meeting to complete a detailed food questionnaire. This allows us to understand your food preferences and any dietary needs you and your family may have. From there, we create and customize your menu tailored to your specific preferences. All menus are submitted for your approval prior to the scheduled service day. On your scheduled service day we do all of the grocery shopping (usually at several different stores for the best quality and price), and prepare your custom menu. Your meals are carefully packaged, clearly labeled, and left in the refrigerator or freezer with complete instructions on how to enjoy them. All you have to do is come home, enjoy your home-cooked meal and savor your “thyme”. |

Frequently Asked Questions |

|
What does a Personal Chef do? |
||||||||
|
Q. What does a Personal Chef do? A. A personal Chef helps people with busy lives eat better and healthier with ease and convenience. Gourmet food is prepared off-site, packaged, and delivered to your door. Best of all, menus are created just for you according to you and your families dining preferences and dietary needs and/or requirements. |

Q. Who needs a Personal Chef? A. You do! Families today are over scheduled and live hectic lives. Many are either too busy to cook, dislike cooking, or tired of the hassle and rising cost of restaurants and take out. Keeping up with your busy schedules and putting quality food on the dinner table becomes quite a challenge. Do you relate to any of the following categories?

Your gourmet dinners are packaged, labeled, and delivered with complete instructions on how to enjoy them. |

Q. How much does the service cost? A. Pricing for personal chef services is at $35 an hour, and we typically require about five hours (for a family of four) to properly prepare your food (including menu planning, grocery shopping, and preparation time).

Q. This sounds great but can I afford a Personal Chef? A. When you consider the cost of groceries, the time to plan a variety of healthy meals, shopping, cooking, and clean up time, you’ll find the pricing to be quite affordable. Some of our clients have found that they actually save money since their fresh and/or organic food is cooked immediately, and not allowed to spoil. |
||||||||
|
Q. How is the food packaged? A. Food is packaged in Pyrex containers. We require a $50 deposit at the start of service in the event of breakage or loss. |
||||||||
|
Q. How difficult is it to heat meals? A. Heating meals is very easy and convenient. We will leave detailed heating instructions for each entree and side dish appropriate for either the oven or microwave. You may also request grill-ready items for you to cook on your BBQ. Great for warm weather cookouts. |

|
Q. How do I get started? A. Just contact Chef Shelly via phone or email to schedule a complimentary in-home consultation. We will sit down with you to complete a comprehensive questionnaire detailing your dietary needs, preferences, and lifestyle requirements. From there, custom menus are created by Chef Shelly, approved by you, and a service date is scheduled. So what are you waiting for? Contact Savoring Thyme today.
