<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-131" title="BIN_4049" src="http://fastfoodiecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/BIN_4049-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></p>
<p>One of my favorite things is teaching other people to cook. I love seeing that moment when it clicks and they are empowered to create great tasting dishes at home. Cooking healthy gourmet meals for your family and self is a hugely gratifying endeavor. Some people don&#8217;t have the time luxury to be able to cook for themselves regularly, which is why I offer <a href="http://fastfoodiecooks.com/services/">personal chef services</a> to fill that need. Some people have the time to cook but no idea where to start or how to bring great tasting nutritious food into their homes. That is where I come in.</p>
<p>I am now offering two types of personal culinary coaching. Virtual Culinary Coaching and Individual one on one guided cooking sessions. <em><strong>Virtual culinary coaching</strong></em> takes the guess work out of &#8220;what should I make for dinner&#8221;. I will prepare menu plans and a meal schedule for you each week with foods that are specifically tailored to your needs and taste. These meals you can cook all at once on the weekend, like I prepare for my clients or at your leisure over the week. <em><strong>One on one instruction</strong></em> is an excellent way to jumpstart your passion or reignite the flames in your own cooking. Want to learn how to cook for a specific diet (gluten free, vegan, weight loss) or try some new techniques? I join you in the kitchen with a meal plan, recipes to try and valuable information about your special diet or your area of interest. I guide you through the creation process and help you feel empowered in the kitchen.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Virtual Culinary Coaching includes:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Weekly</strong> menu plan and recipes.
<ul>
<li>I will send you a 5 weekday meal plan with recipes and instructions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Shopping lists for your menu plan.</li>
<li>Custom menu plans for you dietary needs and personal taste.</li>
<li>Helpful tips and tricks for managing your menus and cooking.</li>
<li>(In SF only) 50% off in person one-on-one guided cooking sessions.</li>
</ul>
<p>Cost: $200/month</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>One on One Guided Cooking Session includes:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Customized recipes and cooking plan.</li>

<p><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My main service that I offer is being a personal chef. However that is definitely not all I do. I get asked a lot &#8220;what exactly do you do and who is this for?&#8221;. For my first post, I thought I would give you a little primer before you explore more of the site.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Who these services are for:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">People who want home cooked meals that don&#8217;t have time to prepare them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">People who enjoy nutrition, healthy foods as well as gourmet flavors.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">People with special dietary needs such a gluten intolerance, vegans or other specific dietary plans.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Athletes in training looking to support their training through nutrition.</span></li>

</ul>

<div><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As a personal chef, I come to your home and prepare meals specifically tailored to your needs, wants and nutritional profile. I prepare 3-7 meals for you (and your family) plus breakfasts and package them for you to enjoy all week long. I buy the groceries and prepare all the food at your home, cleaning up and filling your fridge with delicious and nutritious foods. In the future, as the business expands I hope to be able to operate out of a commercial kitchen and do all meal services as a delivery.</span></div>
