FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge reimbursement for groceries and an hourly service fee between $35-$55/hour, depending on how complicated the dishes get. My fee includes shopping and cleanup. Catering is charged by the person, and can be discussed.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get a clear understanding of expectations and budget right away. I work closely to understand clients' preferences, likes and dislikes, allergies, etc.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've had classical French culinary education through CIA instructors. But I must be honest. The best training has been by working for over 20 years in a variety of kitchens. I read books and cookbooks every day hunting for vintage recipes from France and French Canada. Susan Spicier, Paul Prudhomme, Emiril, Justin Wilson and Patricia Wells are inspirational cooks to me.
