Dietary Questionnaire

This questionnaire is for our team to start the process of menu planning for you and is only used for the In-Home Personal Chef Service. No worries if you forgot something. It usually takes about 2-3 cook-dates before we both learn the routine for getting it right. Please remember that we are not licensed nutritionists nor dietitians.

We are chefs and can make almost anything taste amazing!
