sample menus

I visit your house bi-weekly or monthly and prepare a personally customized menu of gourmet packaged meals based on your needs and the amount of people in your household. While cooking, I offer you a small gourmet buffet made of cold & hot hors d'oeuvres and salads for a maximum of 6 people.

All meals are wrapped, vacuum sealed and labeled before going into your refrigerator or freezer. I will review with you my suggestions for re-heating and a preferred order of consumption.

Most of the food is prepared from scratch, including stocks, sauces and soup. I do not use MSG or other chemically derived food flavoring.

At every opportunity, I creatively incorporate leftover ingredients into bonus (no charge) servings of stews, or items easily eaten as lunch portions.

(Meal prices are subject to change according to availability & market price.)
