Personal Chef Service Expands in Woodbury

By:  Sue Kaylor

You come home from work frazzled, fatigued, and above all, famished.

And what's for supper? Two-day old pepperoni pizza or leftover takeout Chinese?

Not tonight. Instead, there's a choice of Ginger Glazed Salmon Steaks, Brandied Peach Chicken, Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine & Pistachios or Bean Ragout with Cilantro-Cornmeal Dumplings, all prepared by professional chefs

Too good to be true? Staci Motherwell, owner of Cooks for You - a Woodbury-based business that's part of the growing personal chef industry - is willing to stock your fridge with these and other such delicacies.

“Washington County is an exciting place to grow our service.  People are finding that time is at a premium. With today’s busy lifestyles, Cooks for You provides a healthful alternative to fast food and pre-packaged convenience foods,” shares Ms. Motherwell.

"Personal chef" might call to mind palatial homes, liveried butlers, and a live-in cook.

For Ms. Motherwell, this is just the image she wants to avoid. Unlike "private chefs" (who more closely fit the previous description), personal chefs are far more affordable, flexible, and convenient.

Typically, these chefs cook in their client's home once or twice a month - they shop, bring their own equipment, and cook nine or 10 meals, which are packaged, labeled, and stored in the freezer or refrigerator. Ten two-portion meals can cost from $240 to $350 depending on the region and special considerations (organic is slightly pricier).

Through March 31, 2001, Cooks for You will be offering a 25% discount to first time customers.  Call today for a free consultation, 651-331-1136 or email at info@cooksforyou.net!
