Personal CHEf

The heart of the home is the kitchen, but it’s not much use without food in it!  How often do you see adverts on TV where the fridge is full of a beautiful array of food and have lifestyle-envy?  Imagine knowing you have a fridge full of beautiful and nutritious food waiting for you, with no stressful trips to the supermarket searching for niche ingredients. 

Our personal chef service offers you and your family exactly that. We’ll fill your kitchen with beautifully prepared food based on a personalised menu we’ll create with you to include all your culinary desires.  What’s more, everything we leave is packaged to allow for less mess, and with clear cooking instructions.

Jean-Michel takes care of absolutely everything; from shopping to clearing up everything in the kitchen. One day’s work from Jean-Michel prepares approximately 3 days-worth of meals for 4-5 people, menu dependent. For how it works and prices, please see below.

How it works

Step 1: We talk

You tell us your brief and we discuss ideas, needs and requirements. Jean-Michel creates a bespoke meal plan for you and your family for the upcoming 3 days.

Step 2: We source

We do all the shopping, and provide receipts for the cost of the food on arrival.

Step 3: we cook

Jean-Michel prepares the meals in your kitchen using your equipment, but can also bring in his own should you not have something specific.

Step 4: WE LABEL AND REFRIGERATE

Jean-Michel clearly labels each meal with cooking instructions and ‘use by’ dates, and organises neatly in your refrigerator.

Step 5: WE clear and clean

Once the meals are prepared and refrigerated, we clear and clean and leave your kitchen tidier than we found it.

Step 6: WE plan for the next week

We repeat the process!

Example Menu and prices

One day of employment - £270 per day.

Two days of employment - £250 per day.

Please note - one day’s work (8 hours) prepares approximately 3 days worth of meals for 4-5 people, menu dependent. If the menu’s are simple, we will have the time to prepare for more meals and vice versa. If your personal chef booking is to include a special occasion, we charge a premium rate to cover the extra time needed to prepare and cook for your special occasion.

Please also note that these prices do not include the cost of food. Receipts will be presented post-shopping for reimbursement.
