/24-7PressRelease.com/ - North Bellmore, NY; February 10, 2005 - Chef Lia Soscia, the owner of Home Cooking Consultant Personal Chef Service, started this service because she is passionate about home made meals and the benefits of eating together.
"For over 12 years, I was a marketing and sales executive, too busy to eat healthy meals with my family," states Chef Lia. After deciding to get off the "Corporate America Bus" 4 years ago, Lia has spent time at home with her own family proving that her home cooked meals have greatly improved her family life. Home Cooking Consultant is a result of how strongly Chef Lia feels about keeping the family dinner tradition alive. She even researched several studies that have confirmed her own experience - families who eat dinner together often gain many other benefits:
-According to researchers at Syracuse University, family routines such as eating dinner together nightly are associated with happier marriages, improved children's health, and stronger family ties.
-Family meals are the perfect time to teach kids good manners and to model appropriate table etiquette. Sharing pleasant conversation around the dinner table can also help improve a child's social skills.
-Dining together makes for healthier eaters. Kids who regularly eat with their families tend to have healthier eating patterns. They consume more fruits and vegetables and fewer fried foods, sodas, and saturated fat than kids who don't share family meals, says the American Dietetic Association.
If your first thought is that a personal chef service would be an unaffordable luxury, you might want to think again. Just what is your time worth? Do you already justify having a cleaning person? Meals usually do not cost any more than it does to eat out or order take out. Chef Lia can even provide you a spreadsheet to figure out just how much time and money you spend now on restaurant or take out meals. "The resulting answers to these questions is amazing. People just don't realize how affordable a personal chef can be. You don't have to be rich or a movie star to have one," says Chef Lia. The real question, though, is, "How important is it for you to maintain good health while improving your dinner experience with your family?"
Typical clients are busy families, professional individuals or couples who are concerned about health and want to have delicious, preservative-free dinners, but don't have the time to plan, shop for, and prepare them. Home Cooking Consultant Personal Chef Services are also great as a gift. You may want to consider this unique, thoughtful gift for family members who need a break, new brides that might want cooking lessons, new mothers, or even those who have recently undergone medical procedures or are elderly and cannot prepare healthy meals on their own.
How does the Home Cooking Consultant Personal Chef Service work? Chef Lia starts with a comprehensive free consultation to determine food preferences, as well as any dietary requirements. "This is where my clients let me know what they dislike eating, what their favorite foods are, and what their special dietary needs are," says Chef Lia. This information is the basis for the customized menus she creates.
Chef Lia's typical day includes creating a shopping list from the customized menu, making the rounds of favorite stores, arriving at the client's home, and preparing the entrees (complete with labels and instructions) and best of all, leaving the kitchen sparkling with only the delectable aroma of the day's cooking.
