FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Nothing complicated. For home cooked meals I charge $45 per hour. This includes shopping, driving, some spices, preparation, cooking, assembly and delivery. The cost of the food is not included in this price. For Catering I charge by the item so the price depends on which item, for how many people, and how long it takes to cook.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly brushing up with my culinary textbook and constantly reading all sorts of publications dealing with food, allergy awareness, and creative outlets.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started out as a busboy and worked my way up the ladder through different positions. When I finally reached line cook status I really loved it. Truly understanding what I was doing was another thing, so I went to culinary school. This propelled me into a life of cooking.
