Introduction

It sounds cliche, but I put love into my cooking. I think about the families that will be eating the food while I'm cooking, and tailor every detail to what I think they will enjoy - a bit more spice, a bit less salt...the longer I work with a particular client, the more I get to know them and their tastes. I get the pleasure of enjoying my work days, helping others, and earning a living all at the same time. What could be better?

As her neighbor, I saw her in action, daily. 1) She uses highest grade, fresh ingredients. She plans her menus according to the dietary/health needs and personal requests of her customers, including healthy choices, with emphasis on nutritional value. 2) Kristi is well-experienced in cooking for families with food allergies in that one of her sons has allergies to many things, including peanuts. She taught me to read food labels carefully and showed me that many prepackaged items include peanuts, or were produced in factories where peanuts are handled. She is VERY conscientious about content, handling, and processing. 3) Being privileged to sample on occasions, my granddaughter and I found her creations to be tasty and memorable! 4) Kristi personally delivers her hot or cold meals. IN OTHER WORDS: Highly recommended!

Kristi is thorough from A to Z. She interviews her clients for special tastes and needs. We have a diabetic in our family and Kristi is always keenly aware of our needs when she shops for and prepares our meals. From the very beginning--when she first interviewed us--we got the feeling that she really cares for her clients' special needs and tries her best to cater not only to us but also to our children. Kristi is very professional in her approach to our special diet needs and does an outstanding job at preparing healthful and satisfying meals for our family. Kristi has enthusiasm for the work she does; she truly loves to cook and please peoples' palates. We have a very busy lifestyle and don't have the time to shop for ingredients and cook meals that are both nutritious and tasty. Thanks to you, Kristi, we can enjoy good, nutritious meals right here in our own home at reasonable costs.

Kristi does a great job preparing meals for my family. She boths cooks, and Bakes. I can pick just about any recipe from any site and she is on it. She is a great baker and is thorough with meal preparation. Often times she would not only cook but serve and assist with clean up while we were eating the various courses. She has cooked simple take out meals for us, or helped do small family parties 6 people.... She is very organized and provides complete billing. When sending us prepared meals, she has the cooking instructions clearly identified and the serving set up easy so all you do is through it in the oven

Kristi has been great to work with. She prepares weekly meals for my parents which requires special dietary needs/restrictions and the meals still taste great. My parents health have improved and I believe much of the improvement has been due to the improvement of their diet by way of the meals Kristi prepares for them.

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
I love to cook, have a background in food science, and love to help people. This is really the only career for me.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I cook weekly or biweekly meals for families for the most part, Mon-Fri.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Look for a personal chef whose strengths match your needs. For example, if you're looking to find a chef who can get some veggies into your kids' diets, you probably want a chef who is experienced in preparing meals for children. If you're a carnivore at heart, you probably don't want a chef who specializes in vegetarian cooking.
