New York family of four, eating for one week:
How would you rather spend $200?
But when I come to your apartment (for $50/hour), I can make you lots of meals in just 2 to 3 hours. And in only 3 to 4 hours, I can easily prepare dinners for four for the entire week, and leftovers for lunch (bring it to the office and save even more).
The bottom line is that if you're relying on restaurants and takeout for even a meal or two per week, you will save money. You also decide how much you want to pay for food (NY Strip or ground turkey? Organic or conventional produce?).
Second, unlike restaurants, when I prepare your
meals you'll know exactly what you're eating. You
can be pretty sure that restaurants won't be
cooking your meal with extra virgin olive oil. And
if you suffer from allergies or have dietary
restrictions, you're already aware how hard
ordering at a restaurant can be. Even a
conscientious restaurant chef is unlikely to remove
the butter remnants from his pan when making your
dairy-restricted dish. With a personal chef, you
get exactly what you want.
Third, my meals are healthier than anything you'll
get from a restaurant. In a busy kitchen, many pots
and pans are slathered with butter for flavor. And
even though restaurant portions keep getting
larger (NY Times), people tend to eat
everything on their plate (or everything in the
container) instead of controlling their
portions. I work with you to figure out the most
flavorful meals in the healthiest ways.
Finally, when I cook in your kitchen, you never
have to worry about cleanliness. Have you looked at
how many health code
violations your favorite local restaurants
have gotten?
Party ideas
Do you need a new, hands on idea for a party? Make it a cooking party for the bride or groom to be. How about teaching a mother-to-be how to cook? It’s also the answer to a mom’s or dad’s night out. You and your friends can add to your repertoire of meals while having fun, learning and eating!
