Frequently Asked Questions
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.
