It's been a long day and you are finally on your way home. But.....there's nothing for dinner!

You could stop at the grocery store (and face the likelihood of long line-ups with everyone else who had the same idea!)

  • Make a quick dash to the drive-thru window of your local fast food restaurant or
  • Stand in front of your open frig looking at food you don't really want to cook (maybe beginning to dream of having your own chef?) OR....

You could let Orchard House Gourmet cook for you!

Just imagine coming home and in a matter of a few minutes enjoying a delicious and healthy meal where you didn't have to plan, shop, cook or clean up the pots and pans! It was all done by Orchard House Gourmet, your Personal Chef. All you had to do is reheat your meal, add any finishing touches and sit down to enjoy your customized, home-cooked meal.

The Personal Chef industry has been steadily growing in popularity for the past 20 years in response rapidly changing lifestyles. Healthy home cooking and meal planning is becoming a challenge for families and professionals with hectic, fast-paced and irregular schedules. Seniors, new parents and people convalescing from illness can benefit from the services of a Personal Chef. I am also very passionate about helping families and children learn how to cook and eat healthier meals!

Can I afford a Personal Chef?

News stories about increasing child obesity and early onset of diabetes, heart disease and other illnesses point to a serious nutritional crisis. Families coping with shift work, crazy schedules or business travel often settle for the easier choice of fast food to solve the dinner time dilemma. We know we need to eat in a healthier manner and that's where Orchard House Gourmet can help you.

Is it cost effective? Absolutely!

Personal Chef services can help replace most of the money you spend monthly on costly restaurant meals, takeout, groceries you buy (with the best of intentions of course) but may not cook, ending up in the garbage instead. And if we do the shopping for you we can help you avoid those impulse buys' we tend to make when shopping on an empty stomach! If you were to look at the price per meal at any mid-priced restaurant such as Kelseys, Boston Pizza, or Swiss Chalet you'd see that the price per meal for my service is comparable at $12-$25, depending on which menu choices you make. Of course add to your dining out costs the price of gas, parking, tips and your meal becomes more expensive!

Wouldn't you rather save your time and money and have a customized, healthier dining experience?
