A personal chef who belongs to the United States Personal Chef Association (USPCA) could be the answer for seniors (or anyone) whose cooking days are behind them. A personal chef can work with you to understand the types of foods you enjoy, while respecting any dietary concerns you may have, such as requirements to avoid or eliminate sodium, spicy food, or lactose. A personal chef will customize dishes for you, prepare them fresh with groceries purchased that morning, and package them in easy-to-heat individual servings to store in your freezer. You can have as many meals as you like, as often as you want them. Your chef will even do all of the cleanup!
