San Jose Personal Chef Services

 

Do you love gourmet and home cooked meals, but don’t have the time to prepare it yourself? Many people who live in the Bay Area have very busy lives and would like to eat healthy home cooked meals without shopping for groceries, laboring over a hot stove or cleaning-up.

 

Jordan River Catering is pleased to prepare custom-prepared meals for busy professionals, families, new moms and dads, and seniors who would like assistance with cooking preparation or planning.

 

We offer several packages, depending on your needs. Prices include menu planning, travel, grocery shopping service, meal preparation in our kitchen or yours, complete heating and serving instructions.

 

How it works

The most wonderful thing about personal chef services is that they are personal. Chef Kent meets with and interviews all clients. He works with you to learn your tastes and preferences before custom designing your menus.

 

Consultation

Consultation consists of a no-obligation assessment of your personal chef needs in the comfort of your home or our office. What do you are your preferences and dislikes? Do you have any allergies? Are you trying to follow a special diet? If you decide to give agree upon services, you decide how many meals you want and how often.

 

Menu Planning

Next comes menu planning. The chef will make suggestions based on your tastes and dietary requirements. After you approve a menu we set a cook date and prepare grocery and equipment lists. And after each set of meals, we review the menus and hone in on the dishes that made you happiest.

 

Cooking

After cooking your meals at our commercial kitchen they are packaged, and we deliver your meals to your home at an agreed upon time. All items are labeled with ingredient lists and simple heating instructions.

Packaging

Entrees are packaged in single, double, or family servings in either reusable glass containers or disposable containers. There is a one-time $50 container fee on your first order for reusable glass containers used by Jordan River Catering — yours to own. Disposable containers are replaced as needed and will appear on your grocery invoice.

 

Payment

There is a non-refundable grocery deposit and chef's fee due in advance of the cook date. I will leave a grocery receipt with your change or an invoice if the cost of groceries is more than the deposit amount. If you like, you may leave a check for the upcoming cooking date on the day I am cooking.
