As a Personal Chef I cook for several families and individuals with menus ranging from family style comfort foods to special diets for those looking to lose weight or have something yummy with dietary restrictions. My job as their personal chef is to plan their menu based on their food preferences, dietary needs and how they like heat their foods. On their “cook-day” I shop and arrive at their home with everything needed to prepare their meals – you see my car and you would agree everything. At the end of their “cook-day” their kitchen is cleaned, their meals are packed and placed in the refrigerator and freezer and their house smells like someone has been cooking all day! Every Monday I cook for a family of four – their menu consists of light entrees for the parents and some good hearty comfort foods for their children. On the menu this Monday (this menu was more comfort than light!) – Chicken parm calzone with homemade marinara sauce, Lamb and Red Wine Pot Pie with honey glazed carrots (this was amazing!!!), a lightly breaded chicken piccata with rice pilaf with peas and pistachios (minus the pistachios right now), balsamic and soy marinated flank steak with baked potato spears, penne pasta with five cheeses and for dessert – peanut blossom cookies!
Tuesday’s client is someone who eats a healthy light diet – low carb/low fat and low glycemic. It is balanced throughout the week with a couple of carbs such as brown rice and whole wheat pasta. This week his menu consisted of – halibut with zucchini, tomatoes, corn and tarragon baked in parchment with a baby green salad with champagne vinaigrette, cinnamon and orange scented turkey cutlet with apple and sweet potato, saute, pork chop with apple cider glaze with lightly steamed and seasoned green beans, turkey and spinach meatballs with homemade marinara sauce and whole wheat pasta and cashew chicken with brown basmati rice. All in a days work!
