What You’ll Need at Home

You don’t need a large or professionally equipped kitchen to enjoy an in-home chef service.

A clean, functional space with a few basic essentials is all I need to prepare your meals comfortably and efficiently.

 

Kitchen Essentials

Please make sure your kitchen has:

• A working stove and oven

• A clear and clean countertop or preparation area

• A functional sink with hot and cold running water

• Space in the refrigerator and freezer for ingredients and prepared meals

• Basic cookware, including pots, pans and baking sheets

• Mixing bowls, cutting boards and basic kitchen utensils

• Access to garbage, recycling and compost bins

• Food storage containers for the prepared meals

• Basic cleaning supplies, including dish soap, sponges and clean cloths

​

I bring my own chef’s knives and some specialized tools. If your kitchen is missing any essential equipment, please let me know before your session so we can make a plan.

 

Before Your Chef Arrives

To help the session run smoothly:

• Please have the groceries available before the scheduled start time, unless grocery shopping has been added to your service.

• Clear some space in the refrigerator, freezer and on the kitchen counter.

• Make sure the kitchen and sink are ready to use.

• Have your food-storage containers clean and easily accessible.

• Keep pets and young children away from the cooking area for their safety.

• If you have a dishwasher, please empty it before the session.

​

Every kitchen is different, and that’s completely okay. If you’re unsure whether your space has everything needed, feel free to send me a few photos or ask before booking.
