Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help a family with diverse dietary needs?
There are several ways to satisfy a family with diverse dietary needs. The menu can be created where separate meals can be prepared solely for those with strict dietary restrictions and the remaining meals can be prepared to the palate of the rest of the family.

Where do you shop?
We will shop for groceries at the store you select. If you do not have a preference, then we will shop at one of the local markets and specialty stores. When groceries are not included in the professional chef service, it gives you more flexibility and control of the type (organic, free range) and quality of the products being used.

Are you insured?
Yes, we are insured for $1 million in general liability and an additional $1 million under an umbrella policy.

How do you transport my groceries and meals?
Your groceries and meals are transported in a commercial van under refrigeration. This van is solely used for this purpose. Personal vehicles will never be used to transport your food
because we could not ensure proper food handling practices especially during the scorching Arizona summer.
Why don’t you cook in my home?
My commercial kitchen is equipped with commercial appliances that heat faster and cool quicker which produce a better and safer meal. With us delivering, you can maintain your privacy and not be held captive in your own home while we cook. Our goal is to make your life easier and less stressful.

When do you deliver?
My clients are able to select a one-hour window they would like their meals delivered but traffic will some times dictate the delivery time.

Do I have to be home when you deliver?
No, you do not need to be home but we will need access to a refrigerator. Some clients give us a key or the garage door opener to their homes. This will require the inner garage door to be unlocked or a refrigerator in the garage.

Can you deliver to my office?
Yes, but special arrangements will have to be made to ensure freshness and proper food handling practices are met.

Are you a caterer?
The Culinary Craftsman Personal Chef is a personal chef. We cook for one family and one entree at a time. There will never be an assembly line of food in the Culinary Craftsman kitchen.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No, you do not sign a contract with the Culinary Craftsman. We are a service business looking for clients that want to form a long-term relationship. When you have a long-term relationship with a personal chef, we will better understand your tastes and needs and will exceed your culinary expectations.

What is ServSafe? Why is it important?
ServSafe is a food safety training program that is recognized by more federal, state and local health jurisdictions than any other program in the United States. The ServSafe program provides the resources to help keep food safety as an essential ingredient in every meal. ServSafe training is the one commitment to food safety implementation that we should all share every day.
Commercial Kitchen
Would you ask a fine furniture maker to come to your house and use your tools in your garage to make you fine furniture? I think you would say no. This is why we at the Culinary Craftsman cook in a commercial kitchen inspected by the Maricopa county health inspector so that we can make the best product possible.

How can we cook in your house when our chicken stock takes 12 hours to make? When you are time pressed to cook meals like a regular personal chef, you need to take shortcuts like using canned chicken broth and other convenience products because you only have a limited time in your client’s kitchen. Convenience products are not handcrafted and are not what the Culinary Craftsman stands for.
