FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is per person not by the hour. Groceries are a separate charge. Which leaves the customer less stressed and confused on how long it will take for me to shop for groceries or being in traffic, to preparing their meal and cleanup. It's all built into the per person charge.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My initial conversation with new clients is to gain an understanding of the cuisine they would like as well as the reason they are celebrating/ needing the services of a private chef, to help produce a better experience. I then create a menu with dietary restrictions in mind. We are not limited by a set of menus. This event is all about you as much as it is about my craft.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, located in Boulder, Co. I also have several years in a high end country club, chain restaurants, and corporate dining.
