This service consists of a selected number of meals being prepared, packaged, and labeled to be enjoyed at the leisure of the client. Meals will be stored in the refrigerator and freezer. Each entrée includes the appropriate side dish. Customized preparation and heating instructions are included.

Fresh Service is the same as the Classic Personal Chef Service except that no meals are frozen. The meals are prepared and then left either warming in your oven, or packaged in your refrigerator to be enjoyed within three to four days. Fresh service will include more fresh salads, fruits, and other no-freezable dishes. This package is popular with clients who still enjoy eating out a few times a week but want to enjoy great food when they choose to stay home.

Container Fee: Depending on the service you request, you can pay a one-time fee for reusable containers or $15 per session for disposable containers. Reusable containers can be glass Pyrex (or similar), which will require a $100 deposit. This amount generally covers a set of 8 to 10 containers. Any unused amount will be refunded to you and any additional pieces that are required, costing more than $100, will be added to your second payment. You may also choose reusable plastic containers, the cost of which is $50.

The reason for a container fee (which all personal chefs charge) is to ensure:

1. That proper and sufficient containers are available to package all entrees and side dishes,
2. Easy and proper storage in the refrigerator or freezer, and
3. That containers seal properly and securely.
