With coronavirus concerns came new interests in services offered by personal chefs, who are hired by different clients to prepare meals in each person's home kitchen, based on distinctive health/dietary needs and taste preferences. Some personal chefs also cater or provide ready-to-prepare meal packages. Their updated services include social distancing while preparing meals in homes, wearing masks and gloves. All cooking surfaces are disinfected; many bring and use their own pots, pans and utensils, to stay self-contained. Which local personal chefs have you tried?
