What is a personal chef
service?
A personal chef service is a service that tailors meals to suit the needs of the
individual client. Meals are custom designed for you
according to your personal food preferences. Grocery shopping,
containers, cooking, and cleaning are provided by the chef.
These meals are prepared in your home, then packaged and stored in your
refrigerator or freezer to be enjoyed at your convenience.
Who is this service for?
The service is for busy professionals, new or busy parents, the happily retired, people on special diets, people convalescing at home, or those that feel the kitchen is a challenging, evil place.

Just who is Chef Al?Chef Al is a retired United States Navy Veteran with twenty years of service. While on Active duty, he attended Johnson and Wales University pursuing a degree in Culinary Arts. After retiring, he took on the very eye opening role of a stay at home dad with three young children all under the age of four. After about eighteen months at home, he decided to take on the additional task of finishing his degree in Culinary Arts at the Art Institute of Atlanta. He felt that he needed to get the basic skills and knowledge of why we eat the foods that we do. He graduated with a 3.80 GPA while working part time in a family owned restaurant and taking care of his children. He fully understands the sacrifices that many families have to make to give themselves and their family the life that they want and deserve. He strongly believes that the family should sit down to dinner together as often as possible. That’s where a personal chef enters in the picture. He will take the headache out of “What’s For Dinner?” Let Chef Al do all of the menu planning, shopping, cooking and clean up. This leaves your kitchen clean with only the smells of great food and a refrigerator/freezer full of delicious meals waiting for you to reheat and enjoy. You will be free to spend more quality time with your family, not in the kitchen cooking and cleaning, allowing you to SAVOUR YOUR THYME with your family again.
