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.
