Introduction: I am extremely flexible, professional and personable. I honestly care about each and every person I cook for and take a huge amount of care and pride when serving my clients. I try to hit the nail on the head with each meal I make my client, targeting their likes and dislikes, to create something that they will truly enjoy eating. This is all about "YOU" and what you need, not me as a renowned chef. I love that I am helping people live better lives.

I recently signed up as a client with Chef Shirle, and I only have one regret. I wish I had signed up earlier! Chef Shirle has returned valuable hours back to my busy schedule while filling my refrigerator and freezer with delicious, healthy meals. After contacting Shirle, she visited my home and spent over an hour interviewing me to determine my dietary preferences and needs. She clearly described her service and surveyed my kitchen. I set a date for her to cook a first batch of meals, and anxiously waited for the day to arrive. A couple days in advance, she e-mailed me a proposed menu. I went to work one morning, and came home to discover a refrigerator and freezer full of food, with individual servings packaged in separate containers, each labeled. A week's worth of containers was left in the refrigerator, with others placed in the freezer. My kitchen was left spotlessly clean. It was magical! In addition to a selection of entrees and sides, Shirle made salads and "snack bags" containing grapes and blueberries. Entries included Spanish chicken, Italian meatloaf, Thai basil chicken, whipped broccoli stuffed chicken breast, Texas beef/turkey chili, chipotle pork burritos and bacon-wrapped chicken cordon bleu (it's true, anything wrapped in bacon is better). Sides included rice, sauteed zucchini, roasted rosemary potatoes, honey carrots, sugar snap peas, sauteed peppers, cornbread, sweet potato souffle, and rice pilaf. I've carefully sampled (OK, more like devoured) everything, and couldn't find anything that wasn't delicious. Each of these dishes was perfect and perfectly customized for me -- with low salt and avoiding ingredients I'm allergic to. And this was just her first visit; I can't wait to see what other dishes she whips up. Chef Shirle does all of the grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning, adding a modest fixed service charge on top of the grocery bill. For the service she provides, her pricing is very reasonable, and her ability to customize to meet each client's needs is great. I'm now eating healthier and am saving a huge amount of time each day and each week. Chef Shirle is a lot of things: a great cook, amazingly efficient, customer-focused, and, quite simply, awesome. I never imagined I would have a personal chef, but her service makes it affordable and convenient.

I've tried to work with several Chefs in the past, and they never worked out. Mostly the previous services had limited menus, but Chef Shirle can cook anything! I love the way she is open to all kinds of weird food preferences. She doesn't bat an eye. Her food is absolutely delicious. Sometimes I suggest weird things (like crustless pizza!) and if something you suggest doesn't come out right the first time, Chef Shirle will question you until she figures out what went wrong. What I love about this is that she really wants your feedback. Other chef's services that I hired said things like"I don't think you like my food..." with hurt feelings. I like a chef who is willing to work with your special diet, and your off the wall tastes to get the food YOU like just right.We love coming home to a fridge stuffed full of food like soups, veggie curry, grilled burgers, kebabs, steamed broccoli, roasted veggies, homemade hummus, you name it! Her dipping sauces are amazing. Chef can cook spicy, vegetarian, Indian, boring American, you name it--she can do it, and she has that special touch of a real artist that makes things taste good --there's love in the food for sure. She's not just following recipes, although she will do that too. In a (few) words, she is fun, pleasant, accommodating, humble, curious, leaves your kitchen clean, and really talented. I'm only afraid that in writing this review she will get so popular that she won't be able to cook for us anymore!

Its not complicated really: For a weekly visit I charge $200 plus groceries. (grocery cost varies, based on the menu and how many I am serving.
