Q: How does this service work?
A: First we meet to discuss and complete a detailed food questionnaire to understand what your food preferences and dietary needs are. At this time we will also discuss the packaging options. After, a cook date is agreed upon; we will research and develop a customized menu to be reviewed by you for your approval. After, a cook date is agreed upon; we will do all the grocery shopping and will come to your home to prepare your meals. We will package, label and store your gourmet dinners in either your refrigerator or freezer with complete instructions on how to enjoy them at your leisure. When we leave your kitchen will be spotless and your home filled with comforting aromas of home cooking.

Q: What is a Personal Chef?
A: A personal Chef serves several clients. Usually a Personal Chef visits the home of one client day and prepares multiple meals for a week or two. Personal Chef service is very affordable and is intended for busy couples and families who don’t always have time to eat healthy wholesome food.
Q: Why do you cook in my kitchen?
A: Cooking in your own kitchen serves a variety of purposes. First of all, your meals are stored when they are as fresh as possible (using proper cooling techniques); this ensures that they will be of the highest quality when you’re ready to eat them. By cooking in your kitchen, transportation is eliminated and safe, healthy, personally customized gourmet meals become affordable. Chef Avery will arrive with her own pots, pans and utensils. After cooking your meals she will leave the kitchen spotless.
Q: do I have to be at home when you come to cook?
A: No, you do not have to be home on the cook date as long as appropriate arrangements are made in advance for me to gain access to your home.
Q: How long will it take?
A: All your meals are made from the freshest ingredients. As with the menus this may vary but usually will not exceed six hours to prepare, cook, cool, package and clean-up.
Q: Do you provide the containers?
A: Having containers that are uniform in size and high quality means less storage space as well as a gourmet-stored meal. There is a one-time container fee depending on the storage containers chosen.
Q: Is heating the meals difficult?
A: No. Clear and easy directions are left with each entree and side dish ordered and the Chef is always available for questions.
Q: How long can I store my meals?
A: Refrigerated entrees should be consumed within five days of cooking, depending on the food type (seafood within 3 days to be safe). Frozen entrees, do NOT have unlimited shelf life. Freezing does not stop spoiling it only slows it down. Most frozen entrees should be consumed within 2 months for optimal freshness and quality.
Q: Who are All Diced Up professional affiliates?
A: All Diced Up is the member of many organizations, such as the American Personal and Private Chef Association, American Culinary Federation and Worldwide Chefs Association. These are all professionally recognized associations who pride themselves in the professional advancement, recognition and education of working Chefs.
