Our cooking is straightforward, wholesome, and not too fussy. Home on the Range Personal Chef Service uses organic, chemical-free and local ingredients wherever possible, and shops for groceries from quality retailers such as Trader Joe’s, Mother’s, Sprouts, and local farmers markets. Each meal is comprised of a main course and a side dish. Vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, low fat and other dietary considerations are happily accommodated. We serve generous portions and always include reheating instructions. Sometimes we'll include a surprise treat as well! Suggestions for new menu items are always welcome.
