Weekly Dinner Service pricing starts at $400 for couples and $460 for a family of four per week, plus the cost of groceries. This cost includes a customized menu created each week for your family, and a chef who will prepare four dinners in your home each week, including grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, maintaining a stocked and organized kitchen, and leaving reheating instructions when needed. Weekly meals are always balanced entrées complete with protein, starch, and sides, and soup, salad, or appetizer prepared each time your chef visits. Fresh, homemade dessert is prepared on occasion or as a nice surprise!
The cost of the food is not included in the service cost because each family’s food preferences vary. Shopping is done at your local Publix, Kroger, Sprouts or Whole Foods.
All of our services are completely customizable to fit each family’s needs. Contact us to discuss which service schedule would be best for your family.
