Introduction: Chef Stef is YOUR Personal Chef in the Hudson Valley. He offers the culinary services you personally need. Please read below about the services offered, I offer two types of catering: drop-off catering & on-site event catering. Drop-off service benefits you because everything is presented in disposable containers for easy cleanup. On-site catering can be as simple as a small buffet to food stations and passed hors d'oeuvres, All catering is fully customized; no standardized cuisine packages. I like to discuss with the client what the actual event is, the demographic of people attending, whether it's more of a sit down or stand-up affair, etc. From there I can suggest menu items and the proper food setup that will flow with the event. Chef Stef offers weekly meal delivery as well. His Gourmet Meal Service allows you to select entrees from a menu of 20+ different dishes, and customize the sides. Soups and salads always available as well. If you have health goals or were recently prescribed a strict diet by a professional practitioner I can create a special ordering menu based on those guidelines. You can create different entrees that conform to your new culinary lifestyle. This allows you to mix it up weekly, and keep it fun and enjoyable. Hire Chef Stef as your Personal Chef. He will come to your home, and cook for you and your guest(s). Again, the menu is fully customized to your tastes and cuisine preferences. Looking to expand your culinary knowledge, or need help getting started? Hire Chef Stef as you personal culinary instructor. I come to your home (or other location) with all the foods and materials needed for that lesson. You can start with simple lessons on knife skills and easy entrees, and eventually graduate into more complex cuisines and preparations. You want to know what drives me? That look...that smile...the emotion that someone exudes in the end when they taste what they have made or see their guests happy with the food I've prepared. You cannot beat that! Or when I receive a simple note saying my catering helped them with their party, or feeding their family for the week.
