CUISINE
More than ever, Americans are pressed for time. Between a
grueling commute, corporate travel, and a day full of meetings,
who has time to cook a nutritious dinner? As time becomes
one of our most precious commodities, we often rely on quick
but unwholesome mealtime solutions such as high calorie fast
food, fattening take out, or frozen entrées. Enter
the newest weapon in the fight against the daily grind: personal
chef services.
A less costly alternative to a full-time private chef, personal
chefs develop customized meal plans based on a client's specific
tastes and dietary objectives. Entering the client's home
with pots, pans, and fresh foods, the chef will prepare one
to two weeks of entrées that are conveniently packaged,
labeled, and ready to heat. For little more than $80 per person
per week for a typical package, personal chefs may offer clients
customized gourmet dinners that range from Soy and Mustard
Glazed Salmon to Homestyle Short Ribs. Particularly for those
with nutritional goals such as Atkins, South Beach, or other
diets, a personal chef more easily allows them to maintain
a regimen.
Sylvia Bartlitz, who lives near San Francisco,
California and has regularly enjoyed personal chef services
for several years, touts the benefits of personal attention
and expert preparation of nutritionally customized food. "This
service has greatly benefited my family. Not only do we have
more time to enjoy dinner together, but our chef has used
his knowledge of our likes and dislikes to expose us to exciting
flavors and dishes we might never have thought to try."
David Fischbein, President of Big City Chefs, a nationwide
personal and private chef service brand operating in nearly
a dozen major metropolitan markets, notes, "Our clients
tell us they feel more productive and relaxed by reducing
the time they previously spent cooking, grocery shopping,
or eating out at pricey restaurants." He adds that clients
rave about the company's hand-picked professional chefs, who
include veterans from the restaurants of celebrity chefs such
as Wolfgang Puck and Emeril Lagasse. According to Fischbein,
"Personal chef services provide a convenient and affordable
luxury that allows Americans to reclaim their stressful lives."
