Frequently Asked Questions

How far can you travel?

I operate in the Chicago area and surrounding suburbs. Long distance exceptions may be made for locations within a 100 mile radius of the city.

Are you available on holidays?

Yes, I am available on most holidays. Booking is limited and first-come, first-serve.

I have special dietary needs / restrictions / preferences — are you able to accommodate me?

Absolutely! All recipes, meal plans, and menus are customized for each client. More complex requests or difficult-to-source ingredients may incur an extra fee.

I’m on a budget — do you have any options for me?

For those on a budget, I offer a few low-cost set menus at a standardized rate. Additionally, I offer a weekly meal prep option that sets you up with easy to fix meals for the entire week.

Do you offer premade meals?

I do not currently offer drop-offs, deliveries, or pre-made meals. Illinois law requires personal chefs prepare food either on-site or in a commercial kitchen. Check back in the future for any potential changes.

Do you offer catering?

While I don’t provide catering services, I can certainly prepare and serve food for special events and parties up to 20 people.

Food must be prepared on-site—please ensure you have the kitchen space for ease of operations.

What about food safety?

I am food handler certified by an ANSI-accredited program. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to inquire.

For the best experience possible, please ensure your kitchen space is clean and ready for cooking before I arrive.
