HeART of Cooking Personal Chef Services is a “fee plus” service, meaning that prices are based on a fee, plus the cost of groceries. There is no “mark-up” on the food; you pay exactly what I pay for the food at the store.
Because each client’s needs are different, the best way for me to give you a quote for my service is for me to find out what your needs are. I will work with you to design a schedule and a service that works for you, whether you are single or a family looking for services.
I am flexible and willing to cater to your individual needs. If you only need my services on occasion, I would be happy to make arrangements for this if I have room in my schedule. The price per meal is comparable to what you may pay in a restaurant. However, there isn’t a restaurant that can match the personal aspect I offer my clients.
Service Plans and Fees:
My service plans have changed over the years. Please contact me to find out specific rates for a plan that would work for your individual needs.
The cost of groceries and containers is additional to the service fee. The cost of groceries can range from $70 to $130 depending upon the service plan, the menu, and if you want strictly organic produce and/or meat. The grocery bill is usually more the first day because I will buy things like olive oil. They are usually less after the first one or two cook days.
Service Area:
I live in Baltimore, MD, so I service the areas in and around Baltimore. I live in the Parkville area but will travel to Ellicott City, Columbia, Owings Mills, Towson, downtown Baltimore, etc.
Pricing includes the following:
- Meal planning for each cook date
- Grocery Shopping
- Meal preparation in the safety of you own home
- Packaging and labeling
- Serving and heating instructions
- Leaving your kitchen clean
Additional Information:
- A container fee will be added to the first cook date. You may choose glass containers, such as Pyrex, or plastic containers, such as Gladware or Ziploc containers. If using plastic containers, there will be occasional replacement costs. Like the groceries, there is no “markup” on container costs. The container costs will be included on the grocery invoice.
- Service fees, grocery & container deposits are due in advance.
- Travel fees may apply when I travel more than 25 minutes in each direction to a client’s home.
