FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing depends on the number of meals that a client orders and that depends on how many meals per week they require. I offer a variety of packages, so I always prefer to either meet face-to-face so I can describe my service and explain my fees or at least chat over the phone so I am sure the client understands the service fee and the value they receive.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I read cookbooks and cooking magazines like others read novels. I am always on the lookout for interesting local cooking classes where I might be able to share something I learn with my clients.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
A few years back I provided in-home cooking for three familes .. 6 adults and 11 children ... during their two week vacation at the North Carolina coast. This included all the grocery shopping and cooking for three meals a day. I made sure their requested items were available for breakfast including some baked goods that I prepared several times a week. Lunches and dinners were different for the children than for the parents and the adults requested a separate dinner seating later in the evening after the children were settled for bed. Appetizers were served for the parents in between serving the children and prepring dinner for the adults. It was an extremely physical job with very long days, but I got to be creative and provide an environment each evening where the parents experienced a variety of delicious foods in a relaxing atmosphere (with candles, dimmed lighting, music) to unwind from the days activities.
