About Personal Chef Services

We take the work out of eating well!

Your personal chef will work with you to plan your menu, then shop, cook and clean up afterwards. We provide delectable dishes to you and your family, using only the finest ingredients �?freeing you to tend to your other priorities.

Your personal chef arrives at your door with the groceries required for the recipes you have chosen from our menu. Once your personal chef has finished filling your house with tempting aromas, the food you have ordered is packaged, labeled and refrigerated or frozen to your specifications, and ready to go whenever you are. Simply pop a pre-made dish into the oven to bake or re-heat, et voila!

Let’s Get Started!

Select one of our service packages listed below, or have us create a custom package for you. We offer a free telephone assessment, followed by an in-home consultation, during which your personal chef will meet with your family, take note of any food preferences, allergies or dietary requirements you may have, and assess your kitchen appliances, cookware and facilities.

There is a $50 fee for the in-home consultation and a one-time, 100% refundable grocery deposit of $100 required.

When you are ready to set up your service, just give us a call at 250-721-5961 or email Laura.

Service Packages

Each service package has a set fee, with grocery costs variable with each service, based on the menu you select. On the day of service, your personal chef purchases groceries fresh, and your menu is prepared in your home. The service fee plus grocery costs are paid for on the same day you receive the service.

You may choose from the following service packages, or you may create a customized service to suit your individual preferences.

Singles, Doubles & Seniors Service

FEE: $279 plus groceries ($125�?75 on average)

This service provides the main entrées for your meals, taking the work out of eating well, while still allowing you some involvement as you make your own side salad, vegetable, bread or starch dish. Simply thaw and reheat the entrée, and enjoy!

Choose any 3 entrées, casseroles, soups or stews from our menu, and we will prepare 16 servings of each, for a total of 48 single serving entrées. We package, label and refrigerate or freeze these items, according to your preferences.

Friends & Family Service

FEE: $329 plus groceries ($170�?85 on average)

For the busy family with no time to shop, this service provides 16 servings each of any three entrées, casseroles or soups, for a total of 48 servings, PLUS provides 12 servings of any greens or grain-based salad from our menu, 12 servings of any one of our fresh, homemade dressings, 16 servings of any dessert from our menu, and a loaf of Wildfire bread. This sets up a family of 3�? for several days of fresh, four or five course meals, AND stocks up the freezer for a total of two weeks worth of meals. We package, label and refrigerate or freeze these items according to your preferences.

Meals in Minutes Service

FEE: $299 plus groceries ($160�?75 on average)

For those with busy schedules, this service provides a greater variety of wholesome entrées to have on hand, for quick and easy heat & eat meals in minutes! Choose any 4 entrées, casseroles, soups or stews from our menu, and we will prepare 12 servings of each, for a total of 48 servings, ready when you are, PLUS 12 servings of fresh, seasonal green salad and 12 servings of fresh, raw salad dressing.

Customized Service

Do you have your own ideas about how you would like your service to look? No problem! We offer the option of creating your own customized service, where you can design a package to suit your vision and budget. We can take care of all your mealtime requirements (breakfast, lunch and dinner), so you barely need to lift a finger.

For families with special dietary needs, such as gluten or lactose intolerance, we will work with you to create a customized service. Fees for custom services vary based on requirements to provide the service. Groceries are not included in the service fee.
