Personal Chef Packages

After you contact Eat Simple Food, we will discuss the food likes and dislikes of everyone in your home including any allergies or anything that you are trying to accomplish with your diet. Details on personal taste and allergies will be integrated into the meals. Menu creation can be collaborative or left up to me. It is not necessary for you to be home when I’m cooking, although I never mind the company!

When your cook date arrives, I’ll arrive at your home ~ 9am in the morning with fresh & organic groceries. All of the meals are prepared in your home in one day.

Depending on your menu, cooking & clean up will generally take 4 – 6 hours.  I will package & label all meals and place them in the refrigerator.

A menu listing all items will be left, and your kitchen will be clean.

Payment & Cancellation Policy for Private Chef Services

In order to hold your cook date, Eat Simple Food requires that your payment for chef service be paid in full when your cook date is booked. Payment for groceries is due at time of cooking.  Cancellations and/or reschedule requests made more than 7 days in advance are subject to a full refund. Cancellations made within 7 days are non-refundable.

Dinner Parties, Catering, & Cooking Classes in your Home

Are you having a dinner party and don’t want to cook or want to learn how to cook? I will arrive the morning of your party with groceries and cooking supplies in hand and cook for you or teach you. I disappear before your guests arrive if wanted or stay and serve the meal. Prices range from $110 – $130 per person depending on the menu.  Minimum of 6 people. Call 843-410-FOOD (3663) or email beckie@eatsimplefood.com for a consultation.

Dinner Parties in my Home

I’m offering dinner parties for four to six people in our home in January and February.  It’s like going out to dinner but has the intimacy of someone else’s home and your own licensed private chef.

Set course menus includes two appetizers, salad, main dish with side, vegetable side dish, and dessert.

Price is fixed at $110 per person and includes tax and tip.  It includes sparkling or filtered water.  It does not include any alcoholic beverages but you are welcome to bring your own.  I’d be happy to make a mixer of your choice as well or provide suggestions.

Pick a menu.  Let me know any allergies or dietary restrictions of anyone in your party.  Don’t like a menu option for the table?  No problem, we’ll switch it to something else.

All shopping is done at Whole Foods and is organic and/or local when possible.  Any seafood is wild and local when possible.

Show up at 6pm for apps and drinks in our living room.  Sit down dinner around 6:30ish.  Finish with dessert and wrap up with after dinner drinks in the dining or living room.

Deposit of 50% down to hold the date and refundable up to 7 days prior to day of dinner.  Remainder due 3 days prior to dinner.  At that point, it’s non-refundable.

Questions or ready to book? Call 843-410-FOOD (3663) or email beckie@eatsimplefood.com.

Hey y'all!

I’m Beckie Hemmerling. I love food and I think of it on a basic level of providing strength & nourishment. Cooking has helped me *try* to figure out life, not just my own, but also other people's. I have cooked through many joys / sorrows and cooking has always been a meditative place through these highs & lows. More background info →
