A gastrique is a sauce made of vinegar and sugar, it is both sweet and tart. Gastriques are simple to make and do the work for the chef in showcasing the flavors in a dish. A great personal chef serves the same purpose as a great gastrique, bringing out the best of the ingredients in the dishes they prepare and making things simple for the person they're working for.

How does it work?
After your first inquiry, I will send you a questionnaire to fill out before our consultation. This questionnaire will help me understand your needs and what foods you enjoy. If you decide to participate in weekly meals, I will build a menu plan each week and send it to you for approval. Then, at a time convenient for you, I will prepare and package the foods in your kitchen with my own supplies and leave your kitchen spotless. Some foods will be refrigerated and some foods frozen and reheated depending on the menu and how long you plan on waiting to eat them. It is up to you where I shop for your food, if you want me to seek out local and organic foods I can or I can shop at places like Publix and Sam's. Cooking a weeks worth of meals can range from 3 hours to 5 depending on the menu and amount of people I am cooking for. Not only will I leave instructions on how to prepare the foods, I will also provide nutritional information per serving. An example of information left behind can be found below:
