Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Greetings and thank you for your interest in our services, First let me mention that we are not caterers. We offer customized private chef services at affordable pricing. We work for an hourly fee and get reimbursed for any of the food or materials we purchase for you. We offer these services:  Small dinner parties of 12 or less.  Weekly delivery of meals  Culinary education/cooking classes  Wine education. Because we are not caterers and customize all events, we do not have menus. We purchase all items based on your preferences (and budget). Organic, free range, vegan, low (or no) carb, gluten free? Does not matter we will accommodate. Dinners and education can be combined! Think of it like a chef’s table at a high-end restaurant as we cook and demo in front of you and then you get to sample all. Preparing flavorful properly prepared food with excellent ingredients is our goal and passion. I have been a chef for 40+ years and a culinary educator for 28 of those. I know and I understand food. I stay up with all the current food trends. And always flexible based on the clients wishes. I believe in a healthy diet that is simply based on balance and moderation but also understand the needs of people with dietary issues that need to be followed both from a health and a choice aspect. Cathy (my wife) is a certified wine educator and level one sommelier so help with wine parings is always available as well as wine tasting/education in your home with food pairings. Please contact me here and I will get back to you with complete information of how our service works. Bon Appetite, Chef Barry

My friend and I decided to treat our friends to a wonderful meal by a personal chef as a thank you. We could not have been more satisfied with how everything went. Barry was wonderful to work with, arrived and finished on time, completely professional and organized. Our friends said it was the best vegan meal they have ever experienced (our friends are vegans and Barry put together a beautiful menu), and enjoying it in the comfort of their home was very special. Thank you Barry and Cathy. We highly recommend their services to everyone if you want a very special evening.
