I want to thank you for the great lunches and dinners you recently prepared for us. I know you were challenged to develop a special two-week diet plan given to my wife, Angie by her doctor. This special diet was necessary to prepare her for radio active iodine treatment needed to eliminate any cancerous thyroid cells remaining in her body after her surgery.

You met that challenge and developed a nutritious and tasty menu that we both enjoyed immensely.   You should know that Angie was able to take treatment and she is doing terrific. Hopefully additional treatments are not necessary, however if they are, we feel confidant that you can again provide us the great special meals.

Once again, thank you.   

Sincerely,  

 Angie and Joe Sisti

To Whom It May Concern:

Four years ago my parents were contemplating moving into a retirement facility.  They did not want to leave their home of 50 years, but felt that they could no longer manage well independently.  My father was able to drive and run errands and clean the house, but other than making breakfast, he was lost in the kitchen.  My mother had always enjoyed cooking and took pride in serving my father tasty, nutritious meals each day.  She became too frail to stand in the kitchen and prepare meals, however, and this situation posed a serious concern to their independence.

A friend mentioned the services of a personal chef.  After much research and inquiry, I spoke to Diane and she agreed to meet with my parents and discuss meal plans with them.   My father was particular about what he would eat, and my mother was very concerned about nutrition since they both suffered from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and each had had a mild stroke. I was concerned about safe cooking measures, and Diane explained that she is certified in the proper preparation and packaging of foods.

Diane interviewed my parents and reviewed their likes and dislikes and noted their nutrition concerns.  She was so understanding of their situation that she immediately put them at ease.  She reassured them that they would have a choice in their menus each month and that their meals would be tasty and nutritious.

Diane’s meals were just that!  My parents enjoyed every bite.  Life became much easier for them because they could choose an entrée from the freezer and heat it up with little problem and have a home cooked meal every night.  I no longer worried that they were living on deli sandwiches or canned soup.  My sister and I no longer felt the need to constantly cook for my parents which was becoming difficult for us. 

My parents eventually decided to move into a nursing home.   Diane’s services gave them the opportunity to stay in their home one more year.  During that time, dinner time was a pleasure for them and for this I am truly grateful.

 Diane was great to work with and she made the process easy for us as a family. We cannot thank her enough for her kindness, her professionalism, and her wonderful entrées cooked to my parent’s specifications.

I highly recommend Diane as a personal chef to anyone in need of these services.  Her fees are reasonable, and she will do her best to provide the type of meals you enjoy.  The meals are packaged conveniently for the freezer and easily heated by following the directions she provides. Wishing you all the best.

Sincerely yours,
Elaine Hollowell

Would you recommend Kitchen Genie Personal Chef Service to friends or family?

Absolutely! If so, explain why? As busy as we all are, eating right is not always easy. My personal chef service provides me with balanced meals that fit my nutritional needs and my taste buds' desires!

What was your main reason for hiring Kitchen Genie Personal Chef Service?

No time to cook; not eating right; gaining weight and diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I needed help!

Did Kitchen Genie Personal Chef Service meet your expectations/needs or fall short?

Always meets expectations.

What are your favorite menu items that Kitchen Genie has prepared for you?

Too many to name, but you probably know my favorites already!

General comment: My personal chef is always creative and flexible. If I want to try new menu items, she makes suggestions. If I want to stick to old favorites, she'll do that, too. All menu items are tailored to my needs, so I always have a healthy choice dinner waiting for me at home. If I work late, there's no need to stop and pick up some "fast food", because I have my own, healthy and ever so much more tasty fast food right in my freezer! Thanks, Diane!
