What's for dinner at your house tonight? Take-out? Fast Food? A frozen dinner? It could be a delicious, nutritious, and preservative-free home-cooked meal. Close your eyes and imagine coming home from a long hectic day, and in less than 30 minutes you sit down to a healthy, well-balanced and delicious dinner prepared for you by your own personal chef: Culinary Adventures Personal Chef Service takes the stress out of dinnertime.

Culinary Adventures' clients can include career-oriented professionals, two-income couples, seniors who want to live independently, singles who prefer not to cook, or time-stressed working mothers who want their family to eat healthier.

Luxury or necessity? Clients often discover that they are saving money because they do not spend money on costly restaurant and take out foods. No longer do they throw away groceries - purchased with good intentions - that they have no time to prepare. Having your own Personal Chef is affordable. Just compare the costs of purchasing meals outside of the home. A Personal Chef is a healthier choice - eat fresh and forego the chemical-laden frozen dinners!

Culinary Adventures Personal Chef Service starts with a free, comprehensive interview in your home. A customized menu plan will be prepared for you that will include your own food preferences and any dietary requirements. We prepare meals for all eating styles and needs: (including but not limited to) doctor-specified diets, weight reduction, vegetarian, the desire to eat healthier, post-hospital requirements, or time constraints placed upon caregivers. All meals are prepared in your own kitchen.

Frequency of service is arranged according to your own needs. Some clients desire a weekly service, some every-other week, while others find a monthly service best fits their needs. The cost varies, depending on the type of service selected, the number of meals, and the total number of servings. The cost will be determined at the time of your personal interview. The basic service consists of five different dinner entrees with side dishes of two to four servings each.

On the day of service, I will shop for your groceries and arrive at your home with everything needed to prepare your meals. All meals will be labeled and stored in your refrigerator or freezer and the kitchen is cleaned! You will come home knowing that you will be well-fed with delicious meals with little or no effort on your part. Time is a valuable resource! Spend more time in doing the things you value most.

Let Wanda at Culinary Adventures give you more time and reduce stress in your life! You will be blessed.

I have always loved to work with food. My fondest memories are those from my Grandmother’s house. As a little girl, I loved to watch the sun shining through the cellar window while it danced upon the many jars of canned vegetables, fruits, jams, jellies, and pickles. I watched as it created a wonderful kaleidoscope-colored picture on the wall.

I feel at home when I am working with food! I believe that I have been given a gift and my wishes are to bless others by using it. With over 20 years of experience in the food service industry, I have been a kitchen manager, a cake decorator, a caterer, a candy-maker, and a member of the Women's Auxiliary for a Volunteer Fire Department in Texas. I am a Graduate of the Culinary Business Academy and hold a Catering/Gourmet Cooking Diploma.
