FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing depends on the type of service, number of guests, menu, and specific requirements. For weekly private chef services, my fee includes menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking fresh meals in your home, packaging, and complete kitchen cleanup. Groceries are charged separately. For private dinners and events, I provide a personalized quote based on the menu, number of guests, and level of service required. Feel free to contact me with your needs and budget, and I will be happy to provide a personalized quote.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start by discussing your needs, food preferences, dietary restrictions, number of people, and budget. I then create a personalized menu for your approval. Once confirmed, I take care of the grocery shopping and come directly to your home to prepare everything fresh. For weekly meal preparation, I package and organize the meals for the week and provide reheating instructions when needed. Before leaving, I completely clean and organize the kitchen. My goal is to make the entire experience simple, flexible, and stress-free for my clients.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a professionally trained French chef with 28 years of culinary experience. I received my culinary education in France and owned and operated my own restaurant for more than 20 years, where I was awarded the prestigious Maître Restaurateur distinction. Throughout my career, I have had the honor of cooking for French Prime Ministers and other distinguished guests. Today, I bring my French culinary training and extensive restaurant experience to families and private clients throughout the Los Angeles area.
