How much does a private chef cost in Edmonton?+
Weekly in-home meal prep with Mise with Love is C$375 to C$500 per visit, which covers menu planning, all the grocery shopping, five complete meals cooked in your kitchen, labelled storage and full clean-up. Groceries are agreed with you up front and never marked up. Private dinners and events are quoted per occasion after a free consultation.
What is the difference between a private chef and a meal prep service?+
A meal prep service cooks in a commercial kitchen and delivers containers. A private chef cooks in your kitchen, from a menu built for your household, with groceries bought that morning. Mise with Love is the second kind. The food is fresher, the menu is yours, and nothing arrives in a delivery bag.
Do I need to be home while the chef is cooking?+
No. Most clients are at work. Secure entry is arranged at the consultation, whether that is a lockbox, a garage code or a building buzzer. You come home to a clean kitchen and a full fridge.
Can a private chef handle allergies and special diets?+
Yes. Every menu is built from scratch around your household. Severe allergies, intolerances and diets such as gluten-free, keto, low-FODMAP, halal, plant-based and vegan are reviewed in detail at the consultation and the menu is designed to prevent cross-contamination.
Which areas around Edmonton do you serve?+
Edmonton and the surrounding communities, including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan and Stony Plain. If you are a little further out, ask. Travel is agreed at the consultation.
How do I book a private chef?+
Book a free consultation through this website. We talk through your household, tastes, allergies and schedule, then propose a menu and a price. Nothing is confirmed until you have seen both.
