The Kitchen Mistress is intended to help busy families and individuals deal with the nightly dilemma of “what’s for dinner”. As your Personal Chef, The Kitchen Mistress will come to your home for a free consultation to learn about your likes and dislikes, as well as any dietary concerns you may have through a detailed food questionnaire.
The Kitchen Mistress will then plan a menu tailored just for you and your family. She will even prepare family favorites from your treasured recipes, if they’re not top secret of course! Next, a day will be scheduled for The Kitchen Mistress to create her sumptuous meals in your own kitchen; typically clients choose one to two times per week.
On the chosen day, The Kitchen Mistress will shop for all the necessary items at Whole Foods, Vitamin Cottage, Farmers Markets, local butchers and seafood purveyors for the best ingredients. Your custom meals are prepared and packaged according to your family’s needs; single, double or family style (for four).
When you come home, all you need to do is enjoy fresh, healthy meals as well as the extra quality time you have gained. The Kitchen Mistress will leave you detailed handling and heating instructions on the menu, which will be left on your table. It’s that easy!
Private Dinner Parties
The Kitchen Mistress strives to provide a unique esculent experience, be it a wedding, special dinner party, holiday dinners or any other special occasion. Since I primarily shop with our local Colorado farmers and producers the menu is very seasonal and created especially for each individual, family and affair.
The Kitchen Mistress takes care of all the details for that special day by providing professional services throughout the planning process. We create your menu, your setting and work within your budget. It is our goal to support local businesses and artisans. We are grateful to work with an incredibly efficient and experienced staff during events.
Lessons
There are several private classes that are offered by The Kitchen Mistress. You don’t have to have a big group of folks to take a class-we can come teach individuals that are eager to learn something new or fun, or intimidating. Taking a cooking lesson is one entertaining way to get you out of your 15-item repertoire. Make it a romantic night of sushi rolling or a Holiday party for your family visiting from out of town, or schedule a private lesson for your eager mini-chef.
If you have recently discovered an illness or allergy or need to change your lifestyle and your diet for medical reasons, a private lesson is the perfect way to ease you in to your new habits. Even if you are simply trying a new diet or fitness program, The Kitchen Mistress offers support and insight, as well as tips and tasty recipes.
