Introduction: Chef Lisa personally crafts each family's menu to nourish and suit them. She has been offering her unique service since 2007. So if your family has special dietary requirements, allergies or lives a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle or have several different styles of eating in one family, she will be happy to make dinner time a pleasure again for you. She is also skilled in cooking for elite and professional athletes during training and the regular season. Her client list has included Tyler Hansborough, Mike Dunleavy and Adam Vinatieri. I love getting to know my clients' personal taste preferences and designing menus and new recipes that they can enjoy. I also work from old family recipes that they cherish so that even though they are busy, they can still enjoy the flavors of their mother's and grandmother's cooking. I have worked side by side with moms and dads struggling with their children's food allergies to make recipes that their kids like and can eat without fear. I love making dinner a place where all my families can enjoy themselves again.

Lisa is FANTASTIC! I began using Lisa as a personal chef shortly after my son was born. Between two jobs and two kids, my husband and I felt resigned to a life of frozen pizza. Lisa prepared healthy, delicious meals for our family for over two years, delivering them right to our refrigerator. What a wonderful relief to come home from work and find a balanced meal for our family prepared and ready to heat! Lisa's meals were prepared to our preferences (vegan) and to avoid a couple of food allergies, and were far better than anything I could have prepared. She is professional and kind, and she is missed terribly by my family. My only wish is that she would move back to Indiana, so that we could work with her forever. Lisa is an AMAZING personal chef!

Lisa is the best! Her food is always fresh, delicious and somehow magically the perfect consistency, even after being refrigerated and microwaved. She is so kind,accommodating and attentive to the family's needs. We really couldn't have survived the last six years without her!

Lisa prepared a fabulous meal for our group of 12 celebrating a milestone birthday (the men were celebrating the big 5-0). Lisa did most of the preparation offsite prior to arriving at our rental home and set up the meal buffet style, at our request, for us to enjoy. It was so nice not to have to worry about cleaning up the mess from cooking so we could concentrate on celebrating! The food was very high quality.....beef was 'melt in your mouth' tender and so flavorful, the chicken piccata was delightful and all of the sides and appetizers were YUM. The strawberry spinach salad had such a nice honey lime dressing. We really enjoyed Lisa's 'personal chef' service!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard pricing system is as follows for clients who use my weekly service. Basic Plan: 2 servings each of 4 different entrees/ free side dish (8 total meals) = $135 + cost of groceries. Essential Plan: 2 servings each of 5 different entrees/ free side dish (10 total meals)= $140 + cost of groceries Classic Plan: 4 servings each of 3-4 different entrees/free side dish (12-16 total meals)= $150+cost of groceries Deluxe Plan: 4 servings each of 5 different entrees/free side dish (20 total meals)= $175+cost of groceries.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We plan time to meet so I can get to know their needs and preferences and then take home what I have learned in our consultation to craft a menu they will love. Every family is different. Some prefer to choose the menus themselves and others struggle to find that time, so I happily craft menus that they approve.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have enjoyed being a personal chef since 2007. I began my professional cooking career as head chef and manager of Apple Works Bakery in southern Indiana. I was in that position for eight years before deciding to branch out on my own. I wanted to expand my creativity in the kitchen and meet the people I was cooking for. This led me to develop my own personal chef service. It was the perfect fit for me. I love getting to know my clients' personal taste preferences and designing menus and new recipes that they can enjoy. I also work from old family recipes that they cherish so that even though they are busy, they can still enjoy the flavors of their mother's and grandmother's cooking. I have worked side by side with moms and dads struggling with their children's food allergies to make recipes that their kids like and can eat without fear. I love making dinner a place where all my families can enjoy themselves again.
