Thinking of hiring a Personal Chef

[batchusa]

I can barely cook and I am tired of eating out/frozen.

Does anyone have any experience with Personal Chefs? Suggestions/comments would be nice. I live in the DC area.

Judging from his location, an overpaid government employee who goes to meetings, do no useful work, and burn taxpayer money on personal chefs?

learn to cook. it's easy and kinda fun. google for simple recipes and try them out.

Just watch Rachael Ray and Alton Brown and buy Alton Brown's cookbook.

yep - you'll be surpised how easy it is and how much you can enjoy it

 

[biostud]

don't you have seminars or somewhere els you can go and learn cooking?

 

[batchusa]

lol, should have mentioned I am a vegetarian as well.

I am not talking of a private chef, someone who lives with you. I think personal chefs have a bunch of clients and usually just make a few meals/wk.

Dedicate yourself to one of those companies that deliver booze, cigarettes and fast food to your door in one fell swoop.

 

[batchusa]

Damn, why all the harsh replies! Lol, I am in IT. And I am not burning taxpayer money, WTF?

You could probably get carryout from a local vegetarian restaurant for cheaper than a chef service would cost.
Though are you a non dairy eating vegetarian (Vegan iirc), or do you consume dairy products? If you don't consume dairy products, make sure what you get from a restaurant or chef meets your nutritional requirements.

it's uncommon for people to ask for personal chefs unless they are rich, that's why.

for godsakes, next thing you'll be hiring a personal shopper to buy your clothes... why don't you hire a personal sh!tter that way you won't even have to waste energy sitting on the toilet.

that makes cooking even easier. lots of indian vegetarian dishes, for example. google for vegetarian recipes

 

[Ready]

I have a feeling that this is not really him, whoever he is, but a personal poster he hired

 

[batchusa]

Jeez, I didn't know I had to explain myself for asking a question..

I work 8-10 hour days, then work out (if I can), and then study for the GMAT. I am sure everyone is has schedules like me. Right now, I don't have time to learn how to cook. Eventaully, yes, contrary to your belief that I am a lazy slob. I'd like to eat some decent food if I can, and if I have the $ to spend, what is it to you? Someone is providing a service, and I am paying for it.

Others, thanks for your suggestions. And, Giada De Laurentiis - wow..

Ah yes... around here we call those "restaurants." Most will even deliver the food right to your door!

Thing is, cooking isn't this mystical dark art that you have to learn by investing 3 hours a day studying it. Get a cookbook (you can get vegetarian cookbooks) or find recipes online and follow the directions. Now you're cooking with fire.
