Why Fresh Prepared Vegan Meals Are Better Than Restaurant Options
Easily Customizable
Meals made at home are always going to be more customizable when you have any ingredient in your home available to you. You are able to tweak recipes you see online or come up with your own creations. Sometimes the week feels too stressful to cook something up in the kitchen, that's when a personal chef can give you fully customized dishes for your week so you don't have to lift a finger in the kitchen.
Think about what it's like to add and take away things from an item on a menu. It can get confusing for the server or kitchen, and you're always paying the same price for a dish that originally contained meat, dairy, or eggs. By investing your money into a personal chef who is reliable and crafts quality meals in your home, you are creating a space for yourself to enjoy tasty, nutritious meals prepared specially for you.
No Cross-Contamination
Some may not find cross-contamination an issue, for example, shared grills for meat and veggies or shared prep spaces for vegan and non vegan ingredients; on the other hand people with allergies suffer, there are fewer options because restaurants don't have the resources to provide adequate options for them.
Opting for freshly prepared meals from a personal chef gives you the comfort of knowing the food prepared for you is safe to eat and made in your home where no allergens would be present. I make sure to create delicious meals for you no matter what allergy or sensitivity.
Ingredient Awareness
If you've ever been to a restaurant supply store and looked at the sauces and various ingredients, you'll notice there aren't many organic, clean options. Additives like corn syrup, seed oils, and chemicals I just can't pronounce are in everything! Going in there can be jarring because you realize what has been going into the dishes you pay your hard earned money for. At the particular store I went to I saw very few allergy friendly options. There were the basics like oat milk and gluten free flower - when it comes to inclusivity, that wasn't the place for it.
When someone thinks of restaurants, they think of consistency, quality, and connivence, however this vison is changed when prices increase and quality stays the same or decreases. Restaurants often aren't transparent about the ingredients used, they could be, for example, buying frozen soup or only the cheapest condiments and spices.
Putting your trust into a personal chef is rewarding in many ways. At Faith in Food we choose ingredient quality that is up to your standards; all organic, non-GMO, gluten free, or local. We are flexible and want to cater to your needs!
High Quality Meals that are Cheaper
If you want a high quality meal, often you have to go to a high-end restaurant that usually has a very expensive tasting menu and entrees that are above $40. Good quality meals are accessible at home by investing in a personal chef who will go to local farmers markets and personally select ingredients that align with your health goals. Of course you can also go yourself and craft amazing, high quality meals, but with a personal chef you get care free weeknight meals with one less thing to worry about throughout your busy week.
I've been reading ingredient lists and nutritional labels since I discovered my gluten sensitivity at 13 years old. Soon after I became vegan - it was impossible to buy anything until I turned the package around. I pride myself on being aware of what is in the processed food I'm consuming and that translates into confidence we will provide ingredients up to your standard with a high attention to detail. Although getting a personal chef is an investment, the benefits are well worth it. You can't beat meals crafted with love in your home.
