A Personal Chef is NOT a Guilty Pleasure!

By Lisa Henning
As a personal chef, I spend my days shopping and cooking for busy people who want to feed themselves and their families well but just don’t have the time to do it on their own. I plan the menu, I grocery shop, take all the food and equipment to my client’s home and prepare it in the span of a few hours. Each meal is packed away in servings of 2 or 3, labeled with directions for re-heating and stored in the freezer. I prepare five different meals and make four servings of each one. Included in the service are 2 to 3 side dishes as well. This service saves my clients hours per week, and they see the benefit.
However, in several cases, some still have what I call “Personal Chef Guilt.”

I have been working as a personal chef for 
four years and often find myself
answering questions about the industry itself.
My favorite question is, “How did you come up with the idea of being a personal chef?” The truth is, I didn’t! The personal chef industry has been around for about 20 years. Right now, it is estimated that there are more than 8000 personal chefs serving about 72,000 clients.
