The Dinner Dilemma Resolved!

It’s 6 p.m. Do you know what you’re having for dinner? After a long, hard and busy day at the office or caring for the family (young or old), hunting for dinner is the last thing anyone wants to do. How many times have you opened the fridge and found…nothing to eat? What are you going to do? Order another pizza? Head down to the supermarket and check out the hot deli items that have been sitting there all day? Or running hither and yon up and down the aisles trying to find something to eat? Do you really want another frozen dinner? You know there’s got to be something better than this.

Wouldn’t you just love to have a Hearty Beef Stew with red wine and wild mushrooms over Turkish rice with a crisp green salad chock full of vegetables waiting for you at home? Something fresh, nutritious and just glorious to eat within reach. Do you really want to go out to another restaurant waiting for your food when equally fabulous food could be waiting for you right in the comfort of your own home?

We know you don’t have a lot of time and that’s why Let’s Eat Personal Chef Service is here to make your dinner for you so you don’t have to bother. We prepare the menu, do all the shopping, chopping, prep and cooking. We deliver your meals to your door, packaged in recyclable containers, ready for a quick reheating.  Now, your fridge is stocked. There is something to eat. Real food. Healthy food.  Clean food. Good home cooked food where all the ingredients are fresh and wonderful.

How it Works

We set up a convenient time to meet with you so we can discover together what foods you really want to eat and which one you don’t like or can’t eat. Are you on a special diet? No problem. We can work with any type of food. Prefer vegetarian? No problem. We know a mostly plant-based diet is good for you. Would you like to lose weight? No problem. We can custom tailor your portions and ingredients for whatever diet you are following. We work with you to make sure everything you eat is just what you want and it’s really good.

Next, we create a menu, do all the shopping and prepare all the meals for delivery. We’ve found that our clients prefer that we deliver to their homes rather than have us cook in their kitchen. This way their privacy is insured, there’s no mess to contend with and they can relax in the knowledge that there are no “strangers” in their house while they are at work.  As a result, we keep a fully stocked pantry of ingredients: onions, carrots, celery, various types of rices, beans, spices and herbs, homemade pasta sauces, dried fruits, various oils, butter, milk and cream that are fresh and on hand. That way you don’t have to “buy” common ingredients over and over or are charged for a half of this or a teaspoon of that.

We will also determine with you the best day and time for delivery. We set aside a day just to cook for you and no one else. That’s your cook day. This way you are insured that your food is fresh and has been cooked on that day and not sitting in our fridge. And we will deliver at a time that is best for you.

Going out of town? Just let us know a week in advance.  Need an extra dish for a potluck or a friend? Just let us know 24 hours in advance. Need a special dessert? We can prepare all types of cakes, pies, cobblers, ice creams, muffins, cupcakes, brownies or cookies, from scratch. Just let us know what you’d like.

We also specialize in various cuisines: French, American, Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican and Latin American, North African, Vegetarian, Indian and Thai. We are always learning about new ways of doing things, new spices and herbs, new flavors and pairings, new techniques and…new cuisines. We just love to explore the world of food! So if you feel like something special, different or exotic, let us know. We’ll give it our whole heart.

Special Occasions and Events

Would you like to have a special dinner party but don’t have the time to plan it or cook for it? Let us do it for you! We love parties. Dinner parties, birthdays, anniversaries, barbecues and theme parties are no problem for us.  We’ll even take on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Fourth of July, and Halloween. Since we are a small company we only do smaller events that the “big guys” don’t want to bother with. We can easily accommodate parties and events up to 30 people.

Please note: we don’t have things like extra tables and chairs, china and flatware, glasses, table clothes and napkins or decorations. We just do the food. However, we can certainly recommend places that have these items in stock all the time and can deliver and pick up all the necessary items you require. We can also order these items for you as we work with many party companies in the surrounding area. We can also hire extra help when necessary. If the event is large enough we can hire a bartender to help out or wait staff to serve. Just let us know in the planning stages and we’ll make all the arrangements to suit your needs.

Special Desserts

Would you like a special cake or dessert for your evening? Sometimes your dinner party is just four to six people and you know you can handle the cooking. But, you just don’t have time for the dessert.  We can provide beautiful and flavorful custom cakes, pies and other desserts. We make everything from scratch and create custom decorations for your special occasions.
