4. Do I need to be home during the meal preparation?

We ask that you are present for your first service to allow for entrance into your home or schedule a meet and greet.  For future visits, we can have it ready when you want, whether you are home or not.  If you choose not be present during preparation, we can discuss and arrange for a secure method of gaining entrance into your home. The chef will need to reserve the kitchen for several hours for preparation, so best to schedule preps during working or school hours.

The chef will be using your pots, pans and cooking utensils but provide their own knives. We ask that you have a working stove and oven. You will need storage containers for prepared meals.  We recommend reusable containers, such as Pyrex® or other glass containers.  We are happy to purchase them for you, if you wish, and we can add the reimbursement cost to your order.
