I have been using Round the Table as a private chef service for over a year now and I am really happy with this service. I have also been happy with the issues that I did encounter being addressed quickly and resolved with high professionalism.
The chef I work with is versatile, friendly, so great at flavor profiles and trying out new recipes, and extremely kind.
Coming out of COVID and the two years of unending cooking without many breaks with to-go food, I finally reached my adulthood burnout with cooking. Instead of being the one to have to carry this responsibility for my family anymore, I searched for solutions to help me out. For me, the meal kits offered on the market today were not going to be helpful because of food allergies and diet restrictions I had.
The benefit of having support with food for your family is that your goals with nutrition are much easier to hit, you aren't swayed by mood, you can control the quality of your ingredients better, and there is always something to eat in your refrigerator.
In this economy, and with restaurant prices being so high, we can get swept away paying for to-go meals the same amount we pay the weekly fee for our chef if we eat out every meal more than two days in a row. By having this service, the amount of money we pay to get the help, is far less than if my family had to rely on take out because I refuse to cook anymore. I seriously don't understand why the expectation for someone who can cook, is that they have to cook for the rest of their lives. But someone who can't cook, is unburdened and its pardoned. Ugh, but I digress.....this service might seem pricey but if you compare the cost of take out, its easily the cheaper and more amazing way to go based solely on quality and quantity you get.
How it works is that you submit your inquiry to Round the Table for a private chef, outlying the needs you have and they come back to you with some options of the quantity of entrees per plan they offer. Then you are paired up with an independent chef they hire for you, and you begin to have a relationship with that chef preparing a menu for your family. They take into consideration all your dietary needs, and offer you a meal plan that rotates weekly. You can alter and adjust this as needed, and if your chef is open to it, you can even send them recipes you want them to cook for you.
The service includes the chef obtaining the groceries for you, or you can do that part if you want to control more of the ingredients being used. Then they come to your house and they cook for you. They use your containers, pots and pans but most all come with their own knives and some tools they prefer to cook with.
We have no plans to change our services any time soon, and we really really really appreciate the support and help. Its really helped our health so much to have these foods being made that support and nourish our dietary goals.
I highly recommend this service!!! Cammie is very good to work with and is very accommodating of your dietary preferences and works hard to make sure you are paired up with a chef you enjoy the cooking style with. They often have waitlists for new clients, but that can change so if you are interested in this service, its 100% worth reaching out. read more
