A personal Chef works for several clients, usually one per day and prepares multiple meals. Meals are designed to suit the customer's tastes and dietary needs and stored for for them to enjoy at their leisure.

Do you cook in my kitchen?

You can provide the containers or I can provide the containers - add a yearly container fee. Reusable plastic or glass and some disposable containers. Also, each meal will be labeled, dated, and have cooking instructions.
