Party Preparations Personalized by NY Metro Personal Chefs
As party hosts become tired of fixed menus and impersonal service from traditional caterers and trendy restaurants, the NY Metro Personal Chefs are providing unique and individualized party services for a variety of special occasions.
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 1, 2007 -- Inviting guests to celebrate a special occasion with a delectable array of foods is one of life's greatest pleasures. Hosting that celebration in the comfort of your own home makes it even more special. Personal Chefs, who are known for cooking weekly meals for clients too busy to cook or who need nutritional assistance to eat properly, are expanding services to include party preparations. "One of the hottest trends today is to host more intimate gatherings in your home; personalizing every detail with the help of a Personal Chef rather than a traditional caterer," states Mark Tafoya, President of the USPCA NY Metro Chapter.
Personal chefs are invaluable for birthday parties, bridal showers, engagement dinners, anniversaries, corporate functions, baby showers, religious celebrations, barbecues, clambakes and more. The NY Metro Personal Chefs completely customize every menu based upon a client's tastes and diet issues, unlike caterers who tend to rely on fixed menus. Marie Kaiser, a client of Shilloh Personal Chef Service, states, "I have used both well respected professional caterers and Chef Vanda to prepare my private parties. I must say the difference is marked. No matter how good the caterer is, the catered food is prepared earlier in the month and is not as fresh and customized as having a personal chef who uses only the freshest ingredients and prepares everything right in your own home." As opposed to "restaurant" chefs that typically prepare catered food in mass quantities, personal chefs spend time perfecting the quality of the food they prepare in the home. Local, fresh ingredients are purchased the day of the party. The food is not "previously" prepared and sitting around for days before the event.
Small private parties sometimes don't warrant renting a catering hall that requires a minimum number of guests. Hosting a party with a NY Metro Personal Chef is a great alternative that allows you to have a great, more intimate event at home, which doesn't have to be stressful. Back in the day when work schedules weren't so hectic, people used to entertain guests at home frequently with delicious home cooked meals. Today, however, the trend is to make reservations and meet guests at a restaurant. Transforming your dining room into the best seat in town is what a NY Metro Personal Chef is trained to do. Clients decide on the perfect menu, bring out the china and begin pouring their favorite beverages while their personal chef prepares and serves the evening's flavorful delights.
Culinary experiences are also a growing entertainment trend here in the New York Metro area. Overcrowded and limited availability of events hosted by restaurants and cooking schools tend to present a scheduling issue and lack a relaxing environment with individualized attention. The NY Metro Personal Chefs have been answering this demand with personalized events that can be held right at home at a time that fits the busiest of schedules. Customized hands-on cooking parties, wine tastings, cooking demos where you sample international cuisine made fresh in your own kitchen are just a few ideas to help you unwind and enjoy friends and family.
The NY Metro Chapter of the USPCA serves all five boroughs of New York City, Long Island's Nassau and Suffolk counties, Westchester, Fairfield, and Bergen County, NJ. Our members are dedicated cooking professionals.
