What is a personal chef?
In a nutshell, a Personal Chef is a person who takes care of you in the food department. That may mean cooking all of your meals for you, or cooking one meal a week for you, cooking an occasional cake or pie for you, or catering an event for you. A Personal Chef delivers delicious, nutritious meals, at an affordable price, to your door, tailored to your tastes and needs, from haute to homey. We can prepare any of your favorite recipes, things you remember from childhood, vegetarian, low-fat, or special diets.
Our goal is to help you simplify a vital, but time-consuming daily chore-putting a delicious and nutritious meal on the table. We offer a broad range of menu choices, including soups, pasta, seafood entrees, meat and poultry dishes, casseroles, side dishes, vegetarian main courses, and desserts. We do the grocery shopping, and prepare all food. We can even prepare the food in your kitchen if you prefer. We leave your kitchen spotless, your freezer filled with tasty meals, and the wonderful aroma of home cooking!
How is food packaged?
All food is securely packaged in freezer-to-microwave, or freezer-to-oven containers. Main courses can be packaged “family style” in large pans or trays, or in one- or two-serving sizes. Side dishes are usually packaged in heavy-duty freezer bags.
Do I provide the containers?
Because the excellence of our foods will best be preserved in containers specially made for freezer use, we prefer to provide the right-sized container for each of our menu items. Most containers are dishwasher-safe and are reusable.
Below is just a sampling of the Personal Chef services that LaRose Catering offers. As always, please contact LaRose Catering to discuss customized packages.
PC Complete
Your dedicated personal chef will begin by learning about your personal tastes and dietary needs. Our chef will recommend a menu based on their knowledge of your likes, dislikes and dietary needs. Once the recipes are selected and agreed upon, your chef will then shop for the freshest ingredients. Our individual or family style meals are then prepared either in our kitchen and delivered to you or in your home. You will come home to a selection of packaged and labeled foods, replete with preparation instructions, for you to enjoy at your leisure.
Pricing begins at $300 for 20 entrees. Call 770-841-1853 or Email: chef@larosecatering.com to receive a personalized quote or complete the information request form found on our CONTACT US page.
PC Helper
Our PC Helper service is designed for our clients who love to cook a few days a week, but don’t necessarily have the time to create the gourmet meals they enjoy eating. In addition to 12 fully prepared entrees, PC Helper service prepares 8 cook-it-yourself dinner kits for busy people who still like to cook great food but don’t have time for all the preparation work (like cutting and chopping). These entrees can be prepared in less than 30 minutes with standard kitchen equipment. Each of the ingredients are individually sealed, labeled and packaged along with easy to follow instructions.
