Dinner Parties/Special events

Why work at your own party? Enjoy entertaining in your home – let Thyme at the Table do the work so you can socialize with your guests. From an intimate dinner to a feast for a crowd, your guests will be treated to enticing dishes and you’ll enjoy a stress-free event!

In home catering events to consider: dinner parties, wedding or baby showers, holidays, family BBQ’s, breakfast brunches, business dinners and birthday parties (for kids too!). Events for a crowd are absolutely possible with a few weeks advance planning so I can coordinate with additional cooking staff.

Priced per event, this option includes planning, shopping, cooking, setup and cleanup. The cost of groceries is separate.

Meal Preparation

As a personal chef, I will visit your home once a week, prepares 3-5 meals in the safety of your kitchen and store them in your refrigerator and freezer. Each meal consists of an entrée with 1-2 sides each, based on your likes, dislikes and dietary needs. Price includes initial consultation, planning, shopping, preparing meals, storing meals properly and safely, and providing instructions for heating. Your kitchen is left as clean as when service started and you can dine in the comfort of your own home any time you want.

Personal chef services are needed by:

• Single parents who need extra time with their kids
• Professional individuals or couples who are tired of eating out
• Seniors who cannot cook for themselves
• New parents who need to devote their time to the baby

Meal Preparation Pricing

A meal preparation package will be customized according to your individual needs and is available on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. Meals will be packaged according to your individual needs. You can even take meals to work for lunch with you as a healthy alternative to take out.

Thyme at the Table charges a fee plus the cost of groceries, that way you can choose the quality of the food you want to eat. I can shop organic, non-organic, kosher or at specialty stores. The choice is yours. I will typically shop at your grocer of choice. A fee may be required for containers, depending on what you already have.

3 Entrées, 4 servings of each: $200
Families of 4 or more: $225+

4 Entrées, 4 servings of each: $250
Families of 4 or more: $325+

5 Entrées, 4 servings of each: $300
Families of 4 or more: $375+

Want to double one entrée and eat it a week later? It’s easier for me to double the same entrée so it will cost you less, just add $35 per entrée that is doubled. So you could order 3 entrees with one of them doubled which gives you four meals for $235.

THYME AT THE TABLE is a home baked service – I would like to help meet your food needs. For an extra fee I would be happy to leave fresh cut fruit and veggies for the week, a batch of homemade cookies (or even dough in the freezer), add a large salad or two to your meals, or pick up a few extra items at the grocery store for you. You want me to bake a dish for you to bring to a party? Use Grandma’s special recipe? Make natural, homemade baby food? Just ask I’m willing to consider most requests!
