Menus can be built around your preferences and food you like. I also have the ability to build menus based on special dietary needs such as diets low in fat, low in carbohydrates, vegan and vegetarian diets. If you have children and would like to build a split plan based on simple, healthy foods for them as well as foods for yourself, we can discuss this as well. The benefit of having a personal chef is having a skilled chef who can build a menu around your wants and needs.
