My boyfriend has a specialized diet during the week. He keeps Keto, so no carbs (SO not my thing--bring on the bread and potatoes as far as I'm concerned!) and he usually spends a ton of time prepping his meals each week. For Christmas, I thought it would be nice to hire a personal chef for a bit to take care of his cooking for him. I came across MJER Help and I'm so happy I did! Besides catering, they actually specialize in meal prep and take care of everything from the grocery shopping, to preparation to portioning. They come to your home to take care of the cooking so you don't have to worry about delivery or picking the meals up--which was the case with some of the other chefs I looked at.
After a quick call with Michelle so she could understand what I was looking for and to chat pricing (flat hourly fee plus the cost of groceries), the awesome Kathy was sent our way every Tuesday to cook 10 meals a week. Kathy worked with my boyfriend to find recipes that he was excited to eat and she whipped them up using both our own kitchenware and some more specialized tools she brought with her. She would provide clear portions and pairings so he would know what goes with what. Kathy helped him get out of the rut he was in when he was cooking for himself and he loved everything she cooked for him!
MJER Help was affordable (as far as personal chefs go), super easy to work with and Kathy went the extra mile to make sure my boyfriend was eating delicious meals that kept with his Keto diet! read more
