HOME MEAL SERVICE:

We meet for a complimentary consultation in your home, where I learn about your dietary preferences and restrictions, as well as your eating lifestyle. After I complete the client interview, I will be able to custom design a menu that fits your needs. After you approve the custom program designed for you, a cook date will be set. On your cook day, I buy all of the groceries, then come to your house, bringing all my own equipment to prepare the number of entrees you have selected. In about six to eight hours you will have delicious, healthy, ready-to-serve meals, complete with user-friendly heating and serving instructions. These entrees will be packaged per your request, in one, two or family style servings. You return home to a refrigerator full of wonderful home cooked meals and a clean kitchen. Your meals are ready to serve and enjoy together -- in minutes. A 50% deposit is due at the time of signing a service agreement. Payments for services can be either a business or personal check or cash. Serving Chicago's North Shore and Northern Suburbs. Est. 2012
