Full Service Experience

How does it work?

All dinners will vary in price depending on the choice of proteins. For example, a lobster tail and steak will drive the cost per plate up versus chicken and salmon. This is a full-service experience. Set your table with your favorite china and make room in your fridge, and I will do the rest. I take care of all the shopping, preparation, cooking and serving of your chosen menu. I’ll leave your kitchen spotless and tend to every detail, no need to lo lift a finger. I want to make sure you fully enjoy your full service experience and everything that having a personal chef has to offer!
