Personal Chef Service



› Chic Eats is part of the burgeoning personal chef industry, a relatively new field which seeks to solve the “what’s for dinner” dilemma by bringing an experienced cook into your home to develop delicious dinners for you and your family.  When you hire Chic Eats, you will select dinners from a weekly menu that features year-round favorites and seasonal specialties.  Most entrée selections are designed to be “family-friendly” -- in other words, the sort of dinners that children and adults alike will enjoy.  Choices will include poultry, meat, some fish or seafood, and vegetarian options.  Side dishes such as rice, potatoes, and fresh vegetables can be ordered separately, if desired.  In addition, we will offer a weekly soup, salad, and dessert selection.  (See “Menus” for specific examples.)  Most items will keep up to a week in the refrigerator, and many can be frozen for later enjoyment. 

› Throughout the year we will offer seasonal specialty items, such as latkes and Buche de Noel in the month of December, as well as complete traditional dinner menus, to coincide with your favorite holidays.  These holiday specials are designed to take the hard work out of your holiday preparations, while promising memorable meals for you and your family.

› We prepare all of the dishes in your kitchen with our own pots and pans, and leave you with a refrigerator stocked with healthy and delicious meals.  A label with simple reheating directions accompanies every item.

› Your service begins with a two-week trial period.  After that, you will be asked to sign a three- or six-month service contract that reserves a specific cooking day for you, and details the minimum number of meals you need prepared each week.  Prices will accompany weekly menu selections.

Cooking Class with Chic Eats

› Have you always wanted to know how to cook delicious homemade Italian food, or make tasty and nutritious soups, or learn the tricks of the pastry trade? Now you can with private, in-home lessons from Chef Sharon! Sign up for three two-hour sessions and learn how to make appetizers, gourmet meals, and more!  Together, we will create a curriculum tailored to your needs. We do all the cooking at your house so you learn how to use your own appliances with maximum efficiency and extraordinary results. Become a competent and confident cook! Price varies depending on scope of package.

› If you already know how to cook, but would like to get more enjoyment out of your time in the kitchen, consider gathering a small group of friends together to explore more advanced menus.  Small group classes will focus on regional favorites that we usually only order from restaurants.  Choices include Italian food, French brasserie-style cooking, Mexican classics and Mediterranean fare.  This would be a fun choice for folks inspired by Julie and Julia, but who are reluctant to take on Mastering the Art of French Cooking by themselves!  While we cannot supply you with wine, we are happy to advise you on regional wines that would compliment your dishes.  Classes may be available in the evening or on weekends; call for information.  

› As the holidays approach, we will offer specialty classes such as “Thanksgiving Dinner with all of the Trimmings,” and “An Elegant Easter Buffet,” and “A Passover Seder to Remember,” to help those of you who are not experienced home cooks, or who would like to update your holiday meal repertoire.
