FAQ
Q: What is a personal chef?
A: A personal chef comes in to your home on a regular basis to prepare a variety of home-cooked meals based upon your unique food preferences and dietary needs. Menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking and cleanup, along with the food costs are all inclusive. Your dinners are packaged into containers, labeled with reheating instructions, and stored in your refrigerator and freezer. All you need do is put your slippers on, relax and enjoy your delicious meal in the comfort of your own home.
Q: What can a personal chef do for me?
A: Customize menus and recipes to fit your needs – warm, hearty comfort foods or gourmet creations. Meals can also be tailored with special needs in mind, such as: low-fat, low-carb, low-sodium or vegetarian.
Q: What are some of the benefits of your Personal Chef Service?
A: You will experience stress-free mealtimes, relaxing and dining in your own home without the hassle of planning, shopping, preparation and cleanup. Compare with restaurant dining: travel time, parking, waiting on a table and waiting to be served. With Chef Lawrence you can enjoy superb food while relaxing in the comforts of your own home.
Q: How do we start the process of ordering from CHEFTHYME?
A: The first step is to meet for an assessment to determine what and how you like to eat, including any dietary or medical parameters. We will schedule the FREE in-home consultation including evaluation of kitchen design and food storage availability. At that time we will determine preferred cook days/times and logistics. Next, you will select your first week's meal plan from our menu, which includes a variety of comfort foods and gourmet cuisine and personal dietary preferences, such as low carb, low-fat and vegetarian items. Your personal and family favorites can also be included. On the agreed upon cook day, I will shop for all the ingredients needed to prepare your menu, selecting the finest, freshest produce, fish, meats and poultry and will prepare all the meals, using professional tools and equipment. Meals will be packaged according to your preferences in single, double or family-sized containers and labeled. The only evidence left behind will be a sparkling kitchen.
Q: Can I order and have you just deliver the food at a set time & date?
A: Yes, we can consult with you first, pick up a deposit check, cook in our facility and deliver your order when you specify.
Q: Does someone have to be home for you to cook?
A: We are always happy to see clients when we come to cook. However, if you are gone during the day we can certainly let ourselves in using a key and then let ourselves out when your menu is completed and your home is secure.

Hors D’oeuvres
Party hors d’oeuvres (canapés appetizers) are essential for entertaining with style and flair.
However, choosing the right canapés that suits you, your guests and your budget can be tricky.
· Serve hors d' oeuvres on tables for a buffet style meal where guests can help themselves.
Alternatively, you can have these passed around on trays by waiters and waitresses.
If you want to save money, go for the first option because guests tend to eat less.
· When choosing what to serve, consider the need for refrigeration or heating.
· Take into account the time of the day. Serve lighter hors d' oeuvres for day receptions and heavier ones for an evening.
· Stay away from expensive or labor intensive choices.
Have one or two expensive hors d' oeuvres and for the rest, choose inexpensive ones.
· Remember any severe allergies that some guests may have.
· Choose hors d' oeuvres that complement and do not clash with each other.
If possible, keep up with the theme.
With so many choices on hors d' oeuvres to serve in your event, you surely would not have a hard time selecting what to hand around. Below there is a sample of what Chef Lawrence can offer you.
Have fun in picking your choices and do not hesitate to request anything you want. Enjoy!

Our commitment equals your trust
“All of our food is 100% natural organic, fresh, and homemade. Never prepackaged, and never frozen. A lot of people in my industry can’t say that”.
Many caterers and personal chefs “cheat” by using some ingredients that have been prepackaged or frozen to keep costs down, but Chefthyme Catering made a commitment from day one to only use the highest quality organic, fresh ingredients in every item from hors d’oeuvres to dessert and breakfast through dinner.
