Essential Chef
Chef Katherine is offering a reduced labor rate for personal chef services for May. For new and returning clients!  For $200 Katherine will plan, shop and prepare 4 main entrees and 4 side vegetables/beans or grains plus a fresh salad and/or dressing. Or she will plan and prepare a delicious meal for your next dinner party!  The cost of groceries is additional.  Essential Chef says “Because of a daily morning client that I have, I am purchasing meat and seafood at Restaurant Depot, a wholesale business-only store.  I get very good prices on chicken, beef and fish.  When fresh wild salmon season starts (hopefully late May or June) I can sometimes get it for $6.50 a pound.  Their prices fluctuate, but can be very good.  Fresh salmon (as opposed to previously frozen) has a much higher moisture content and tastes so much better.  Most of the year you can get fresh farmed salmon or previously frozen wild, but there is only one time of the year when you can get Fresh Wild Salmon and that’s coming soon!” Don’t forget about all the cooking that Mom does, she might appreciate a personal chef GIFT CERTIFICATE for MOTHERS DAY.  To use any time of the year!!  Gift Certificate prices start at $150 (for one dinner with groceries included).
