Menu Planning and Proposals

A When Art Meets Food LLC chef will collaborate with you, the client, on a custom-curated menu proposal based on the information provided. For quality control purposes, WAMF asks that the client/chef correspondence be in writing via email. Proposals are to be confirmed by one week on your service date. Failure to do so will be considered a last-minute cancellation (see cancelation fees below). Menu planning, correspondence, travel fees and the sourcing of ingredients are included in the client’s quoted rate. All the agreed upon menu items are subject to change from the initial menu due to ingredient availability, quality, or other unforeseeable factors. WAMF sources organic ingredients first, then sustainable from local markets and USA online stores. Please inform your chef if you would prefer them to frequent a different store. In some cases, it is necessary to supplement ingredients from your neighborhood grocery stores, specialty food stores, and farmers markets. Scheduling: Your WAMF chef will promptly arrive to your home at the agreed-upon time on the agreed-upon date(s). Chefs will need full access to the cooking area for an estimated 2-6 hours, or 2-3 hours prior to occasion dinner agreed serving time. Please make your home accessible to your chef on the scheduled cook-date. Clients, children, pets, and other distractions should be out of the kitchen area on all scheduled cook-dates.

Home Kitchens

WAMF chefs take great pride in their work and promise to respect you, your home, and your equipment. Your chef will leave his/her workspace as clean as they found it, remove their personal equipment, and put away all leftover groceries. Please make sure your kitchen area is clean and ready for your chef on their scheduled cook-date and that your meal containers are ready for use and two fridge shelfs are empty for food storage. If chefs arrive to an unsuitable workspace, they will document the area with a photo(s) and a cleaning fee of $50 will be added to the invoice for that service date. If the kitchen does not meet basic health code standards (i.e. no running water, no electricity, etc...) the chef will prepare and store what they can, you will be charged the day-rate and reimburse for groceries.

Your meals will be packaged and supplied with suggested heating and “eat or freeze date” for your convenience. Although WAMF tries their best, the instructions are subject to inaccuracies due to inconsistent oven temperatures, type of equipment, etc. WAMF reserves the right to throw away food that the chef deems to be unfit for consumption. This may include the previous weeks meals the chef prepared. WAMF is not to be held liable if you choose to ignore common food safety practices by not storing, defrosting, reheating or using proper sanitation in regard to your meals. If you chose to have your meals prepared in a commercial facility and delivered, WAMF cannot guarantee allergen-free meals.
