Frequently asked questions

So you don't have to cook yourself, yet still eat healthy and varied. I cook with plenty of vegetables, local and organic ingredients where possible, and make special children's meals that are just a little different from the usual vegetables-potato-meat.

A Personal Chef cooks regularly for regular clients and thereby learns what you like, what your family needs and what dietary preferences are at play. I have more than 20 years of cooking experience and am a certified holistic nutritionist (2018).

After signing up, every Sunday I send you the weekly menu via WhatsApp. You reply with your choice for Tuesday and/or Thursday. I cook fresh and deliver between 16:30 and 17:30.

Every Sunday I send the menu via WhatsApp. You then have until Monday morning to respond with your choice.

I cook something different every week — seasonal and varied. Think dishes from different cuisines, always with plenty of vegetables. The menu is sent every Sunday via WhatsApp.

Vegetarian, allergies, picky eaters — no problem. We discuss this when you sign up so I can take it into account when composing the menu.

I work with high-quality ingredients: whole grains, complete proteins, healthy fats and lots of vegetables. Mainly vegetarian, with meat and fish as an option. Local and organic products where possible.

The meals are delivered in glass containers with clear heating instructions. They can be warmed in the oven, microwave or frying pan. Instructions are specific per dish.

I keep track of what you like and don't like. A feedback card is included with the meals so you can easily let me know what you thought. This way I can tailor the menu better and better to your taste.
