One of the most common questions I get as a personal chef serving Columbus Ohio is "How does it work?" First, we will schedule an in-home consultation, where you will fill out a detailed questionnaire that will tell me your likes, dislikes and allergies etc. This visit will give us the chance to meet in person, and for me to look at the kitchen, to get the "lay of the land", so to speak. Once we've discussed all the particulars and details, I will take your finished questionnaire and create a customized menu for you based on your answers.

Once I contact you and have received menu approval, we'll schedule a cooking day - at least 2 weeks from the date of approval - and discuss how I'll get inside the house or apartment. In the event that the questionnaire has already been filled out prior to the in-home meeting, the menu approval and cook day scheduling can happen right then!

THE COOKING DATE

On the cooking day, I will shop for the freshest ingredients for your meals and bring all the pots, pans and necessary equipment and utensils to your place and start working. When I'm done, you'll have full, labeled containers in your freezer and/or refrigerator, a spotless kitchen and the lovely lingering aroma of many home-cooked meals. No muss, no fuss, and you won't even know I've been there!

PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

Cash and checks are accepted and payment is due upon booking the cook date for service fees and container fees based on method chosen during the assessment.

GROCERY SHOPPING SERVICES

Are you so busy that you just don’t have the time to do your general grocery shopping or just don’t want to fight the crowds? Let Chef Dave take care of the hassle for you.  All you need to provide is a general list and I can take care of it during your cook date or it can be handled on another day.
