Services

Contemporary Gourmet provides unique, custom and personalized services; providing delicious, chef-prepared, high quality meals at an affordable price are the primary goals.

Customized Menus
Your individual preferences and needs determine your customized menus. Your initial consultation with Contemporary Gourmet is free and will provide us with all of the information necessary to plan healthy meals customized to your personal preferences. Contemporary Gourmet understands that each client's tastes and needs are unique requiring a menu plan and services shaped specifically to them.

Grocery Shopping
A great amount of time, energy and effort is spent grocery shopping. The planning, parking, standing in lines, checking out, loading the car, unloading the car and then putting the groceries away all consume your time. On your cook date, your Contemporary Gourmet chef will shop for the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

In-home Meal Preparation and Storage
On the date agreed upon, your personal chef will arrive at your home with everything needed to prepare your meals, including utensils and cooking equipment, if needed. A workspace, stove, refrigerator, and freezer are all you need to provide.

Your personal chef will prepare selected entrees and side dishes in your kitchen. You can choose to eat the meals immediately or we will package the entrees and side dishes and place them in the refrigerator labeled, dated and marked "Now" for use within 2-3 days. If you prefer to freeze your meals for use within 2 weeks, then we will mark the meals "Later". Your personal chef will provide you with simple heating instructions. The meals will then be placed in the refrigerator and/or freezer for your use when ready.

Clean-Up
Your kitchen will be left as clean as when the chef arrived and the cooking equipment and utensils put away.

Affordability
The cost of this very personalized and custom personal chef service is surprisingly affordable and cost effective. The fee for Contemporary Gourmet personal chef service is $30.00 per hour. This fee includes shopping for ingredients, preparing the selected entrees and side dishes, packaging and clean-up.

Because every client's needs and desires are unique, so are the services and costs involved. As an example, a typical client requires approximately 3 hours to prepare 3 complete dinners for 4 people. That translates into 3 nights of delicious, chef-prepared entrees and side dishes for 4 people or 12 individual meals for less than $8.00 each (food cost is the client's responsibility).

When compared to dining in restaurants or take-out foods, using Contemporary Gourmet is much more cost effective and affordable.
