Whatever your event, we will strive to make it delicious, beautiful, fun and memorable!
Personal Chef Services
Are you a busy professional who does not have time to even shop for groceries, much less cook dinner for yourself at home? Do you have a family with children who have sports practices and music lessons, and you are so busy running them around, you have no time to cook a healthy dinner for them? Do you just not like to cook, and end up eating out at restaurants every night of the week? If so, then a personal chef service is perfect for you!
For less than the cost of a meal at a moderately priced restaurant, you can enjoy a gourmet dinner right in the comfort of your own home!
As your personal chef, Alysha will sit down with you to do an initial consultation. We will go over menu options and discuss your likes and dislikes, we will also take into consideration any food allergies or special individual dietary needs you may have. Alysha specializes in light and healthy cuisine, ethnic cuisines and good old down home cooking as well. No matter what your preferences, we can tailor a menu to your personal tastes that you will truly enjoy. At this time we will take stock of how your kitchen is equipped so that Alysha can determine what equipment will need to be brought to your home on cooking day. We will also agree on a pricing plan that will meet your budget.
On the day that your meals are to be prepared, Alysha will come to your home, prepare the meals, label them with instructions and leave a sparkling clean kitchen for you to come home to. Just make sure to have space available in your refrigerator for your delicious meals!
Special Diets
Do you have special dietary needs, or is there a specific diet plan that you would like to follow? Alysha is well versed in many of today’s popular diet plans: The South Beach Diet, The Sonoma Diet; The Fat Flush Plan; Body for Life; Eat Right For Your Type; low fat diets; low carbohydrate diets; low sugar diets; vegetarian diets. Though not a licensed nutritionist, Alysha is very health conscious and has a good basic knowledge of nutrition and healthy eating habits. Sticking with your diet will be a breeze when the cooking is done for you!
Cooking Classes
How would you like to not only have a dinner party, but also have an interactive cooking class at the same time? Alysha can cater a dinner party for you and give a cooking demonstration. We will get together and decide what you would like to learn how to prepare. Alysha will already have most of the food prepped and ready to cook on site, and will reserve just enough to do the demonstration with. You and your guests will be able to ask questions, learn cooking techniques, and even participate in some of the cooking if you’d like!
This is a great way for friends to get together for dinner as opposed to going out to an expensive restaurant, paying for parking, paying the upcharge on the alcohol, paying for the babysitter, etc… I have even had some clients that will split the cost of child care by bringing their children to the location and hiring one or two babysitters. Alysha can even prepare some healthy, kid friendly food to bring along to feed the kids while the adults are enjoying their evening.
Pricing will vary depending on the menu choices and level of difficulty of the class. Private cooking lessons are also available on an individual basis. If there are just one or two of you that would like to learn how to make a specific dish, or just learn some basic techniques we can hone your skills, and you will be cooking like a pro in no time!
