Kinda a weird question, but I thought I would try everywhere since I'm having a hard time finding the right candidate.

Does anyone know any person or company providing service for a personal chef that they can recommend?

By personal chef, I don't mean anything super fancy or catering (pretty much 99.999% of search result falls in these), but someone who would do some normal house food/grocery shopping, prep, and come to our house to cook (or at their place, doesn't matter) on a weekly basis.

Both my wife and I are taking on bigger roles in our profession, leaving us less and less time for the kids. So we started looking for extra time.

Long story short, food preparation is taking a good chunk of personal time we have for the family on a constant basis. Thus, we are wondering that if anything/anyone out there provide a service like this or point me to the right direction?

Our idea is that if someone can take over the grocery shopping and food prep/cooking, we can gain a chunk of our time back and devote it to the kids while making little adjustments in our life.

At first we thought about trying a few "meals delivery" services. But from F&F who had experience with them, the main problem is that you are eating off their menu. There's no way they can do specific dishes for one family and then different for another one. Or sometimes they are trying too hard to be "gourmet" or fancy when all we are looking for are traditional family dishes.

So, any comments would be appreciated. We are really looking to get some help.
