Eating freshly-prepared, healthy meals at home can be a reality!

"Nobody's ever said, 'Money is no object!', so I always make the most of what my clients choose to spend." -- Chef JoAnna

Having a personal chef is likely more affordable than you think...
If you eat out three or more times a week, you can easily afford a personal chef .
Chef JoAnna will visit your home and get a feel for what your kitchen is like. She will do a brief inventory of your cooking appliances and help you decide how you want your food served. (If you've never had a Personal Chef before, click here to see how this whole thing works).

Based on your needs, Chef JoAnna will arrange an appoint ment where she will help you create a menu that best suits your event, your tastes, your cooking appliances and dining space. You will always have final approval on the menu.

Chef JoAnna will shop for you, prepare all your favorites exactly the way you like them & leave your kitchen spotless.

So the only thing left is to decide how often you'd like to eat home-made food!
A gift of gourmet food is always in good taste,
but to be unique, give a gift of Personalized Cooking Lessons!

Cancellation Policy

One session per week

Come home to a freshly prepared dinner. Additional meals are packaged for later reheating. Three complete menus (each with an entrée & two sides) are prepared per session, yielding enough food for two seatings.
Here's an idea of how it would work for a once-a-week session:

Meal #1
Chicken Roulade with Sun Dried Tomatoes & Chevre, Steamed Broccoli, Cous-Cous
Meal #2
Ratatouille, Seasonal Green Salad, Grilled Zucchini Planks
Meal #3
Ginger Steak with Snow Peas, Carrots & Rice Noodles

How often do you need Chef JoAnna to visit? CLICK HERE
Less than one session per week

Today's hectic lifestyles make it difficult to enjoy a home-cooked meal, but Chef JoAnna makes sure that the menus prepared for this style of service will still be delicious, yummy & healthy, even though it's freezer-to-oven cuisine.
Some ideas of what you might request are:

Lasagna: Vegetarian or Meat, as you prefer.
Soups & Stews: Low-fat, Hearty meals anytime of year.
Noodle or Rice Casseroles: No canned soups in these creations!
Pizza & Calzones: All-natural, wholesome ingredients
Crock-pot Meals: Just assemble and turn the crock-pot on

A portion or two of each of the items can be kept in the refrigerator to be eaten in the first couple of days, while the rest are labeled & frozen.

If the price of a personal chef still seems out of your budget, don’t forget that in addition to the great food you will receive, you will also be saving a great deal of time and minimizing some of your weekly stresses. Not only will you not have to worry anymore about making dinner, but you can also eliminate grocery shopping, washing pots and pans and cleaning your kitchen from your daily schedule. For some busy families, these advantages are indeed well worth the investment.

These are plans that have worked well for my clients in the past, but if you have something else in mind, please let me know and we can create a unique plan just for you. Send an e-mail to request a planning appointment:

How often do you need a Personal Chef?

A "session" is the term used to describe each time Chef JoAnna comes to your residence to cook for you
An "entrée" is a meal consisting of a protein, a vegetable, and a starch. Starch can be omitted at client's discretion. A "seating" is similar to a restaurant visit: Everyone present gets a serving, no matter how many attend.

One Time Event: One session, one entrée, one seating.
Usually a special event. This is considered "in-home catering" and is billed as such.

Once per week: One session, 3 entrées...............................................$275 plus groceries
Think of this plan as "dinner for 6 nights" for a family of two.

Every other week: One session, 3 entrées................................................$275 plus groceries
Give yourself a break. This plan eases the burden of cooking for your family every night.

Once per month: One session, 4 entrées...............................................$325 plus groceries
Two entrées are made fresh, to be eaten within 5 days. The other two are selected especially so they can be frozen, and enjoyed the following week.
In all instances, remaining meals are packaged and refrigerated, or frozen if appropriate.

Cost of services varies, please contact Chef JoAnna and she will help you create a menu that best suits your event, your tastes, your cooking appliances and dining space.
