1. What is the difference between a Personal Chef and a Private Chef?
A private chef is employed by one individual or family full time, and is often “living in”, and preparing up to 3 meals per day. A Personal Chef serves several clients, usually one per day, and provides multiple meals that are custom designed for the clients’ particular requests and requirements. These meals are packaged and stored so that the client may enjoy them at his/her leisure in the future. A Personal Chef may also be hired for special occasions and dinner parties.

2. Do you cook in my kitchen?
Yes, Chef Kira prepares your meals in the safety of your own kitchen. On the agreed upon cooking date Chef Kira will bring the fresh ingredients for your meals and prepare your meals on site. At the end of the day Chef Kira will leave your kitchen clean, and full of the aroma of good home cooking!

3. How long will you be here?
Chef Kira will be cooking several different dishes from scratch, so it will take several hours. We cannot say exactly how many hours, however Chef Kira is most willing to work with your schedule or situation, and we can make arrangements in advance so that the cooking date fits into your schedule compatibly.

4. I’ll be home that day. Is it okay if I watch - or help?
Chef Kira will be preparing several different recipes simultaneously. If distracted, it would be too easy to forget an ingredient or to forget about something in the oven. Chef Kira would be happy to chat with you or answer any questions for a few minutes before or after cooking for you. Chef Kira is also always happy to answers questions by phone or e-mail.

5. Do I heat the food?
Yes. Any entrees that have been stored for you in your freezer should be defrosted overnight in your refrigerator, and heated, to be enjoyed at the peak of their flavor. We will be happy to leave you easy to follow heating and serving instructions.

6. Is your service strictly Kosher?
Yes. Chef Kira will follow all the laws of preparing a kosher meal. All groceries purchased will be certified kosher. If you have further questions please contact Chef Kira.
