Chef Aleta, Your “What’s For Dinner Solution!”  Customized Menus
Chef Aleta’s goal is to make each meal the very best you have ever tasted! In order to accomplish this we must know about your preferences, and your dietary needs. We have the ability to prepare gourmet meals to your specification as well as preparing your favorite recipes. When you hire a USPCA Personal Chef, the chef will come to your home and conduct an interview as well as a complete and detailed questionnaire. Each menu lists entrees and some side dishes for two week periods and is presented to you for your approval prior to your scheduled cooking day.  Meal Prep in your home
Once you have approved your menu, Chef Aleta will schedule a day to cook in your home. She will arrive with all of the utensils she needs to complete your meals. Chef Aleta will cook the food in your home, then package and refrigerate or freeze each item, and leave thawing, and reheating instructions. By following these instructions your meals will taste like they were just prepared!  Variety of Healthy Menus
Chef Aleta has the ability to cook not only to your tastes, but also according to your dietary requirements. So, if you need a low fat meal, and you don’t eat meat, don’t worry. You may want to try the turkey and black bean chili, or maybe you would prefer the lime and cilantro marinated shrimp. If neither of these entrees appeal to you there are many more you can try. In fact, over 300 entrees are available, which means you won’t see the same meal twice in a 6 month period! Complete Grocery Shopping On your scheduled cooking day, Chef Aleta will shop for the groceries needed for the meals on your menu. She will purchase all of the items needed and the cost of these groceries are incorporated into the charge for the services.  Freshest Vegetables
On your scheduled cooking day, she will select the freshest vegetables available for your meals. If at all possible, she will use produce that was harvested that day! Freshest Fish Chef Aleta will select the freshest fish available for your meals. If fish is available that was flown in on your cooking day, she will select that fish, even if we drive to three markets to get the very best!!  Top Quality Meats
The meals Chef Aleta select are of the finest quality available. The cuts are the most tender, and all are purchased the day she cooks for you. No Frozen meat here! Chef Aleta offers beef, veal, lamb, pork, turkey, and chicken entrees. Freshest Herbs and Seasonings The herbs used in your meals are fresh and harvested that day if possible. If the herb is not in season, Chef Aleta will purchase dried herbs and crush them when she uses them. She will grind her seasonings fresh each day and only as much as she needs. These practices prevent the flavorful oils from evaporating while the herbs and spices sit on a shelf waiting for use. |
