What is the difference between a Personal Chef and a Private Chef?
A private chef is employed by one individual or family full time, and is often “living in,” and preparing up to three meals per day. A Personal Chef serves several clients, usually one per day, and provides multiple meals that are custom designed for the client’s particular requests and requirements. These meals are packaged and stored so that the client may enjoy them at their leisure in the future.

Who needs a Personal Chef?
ANYONE. Mezzaluna Personal Chef Service of Portland Oregon is for people who don’t have the time, interest or skills to plan, shop for and prepare daily meals. A typical client is someone who is tired of fast food or dining out who wants to enjoy healthy, nutritious meals on their own time schedule in the comfort of their own home. Busy professionals, retirees, new parents and those just home from the hospital are typical clients. Our goal is to simplify your life by taking on a vital but time consuming chore by putting a delicious meal on the table for you and your family.

What are some of the benefits of having a Personal Chef?
Convenience – Imagine stress free mealtimes, relaxing and dining in your own home without the headache of planning, shopping, preparing and cleaning up. With Mezzaluna you can enjoy a beautiful custom made dinner curled up on the couch in your jammies if you want!

Health – Delicious, nutritious meals prepared exactly to your standards. Our service is a great support for those following or transitioning to a new or challenging diet. Special dietary requests for one or more members of the family can be met, so that mealtime can be relaxing and enjoyable.

Value – Compare the time spent planning, driving, shopping, waiting in line, cooking and cleaning up with restaurant dining. When dining out, there is travel and waiting time, gas, drinks, tip…it all adds up. How would you rather spend your time and money?
