What is Morsel?

We are a service offering the best meals for our amazing clients in their individual homes at a reduction of the price of a typical catering company but with the same quality and professionalism.

Why the need for a personal chef?

A personal chef is just that: personal. Someone who understands what your needs are and builds the ideal menu around that in your home. There is no need to go out and waste time and money on restaurant meals or hire pricey catering companies when Chef Megan can create these meals for you. Personalized, hand-crafted, and detail-oriented in every meal, every time.

You no longer have to do the cooking yourself. Think about that for a second. You can come home, work out or read a book, make some tea or coffee, answer some emails, play with your kids and enjoy quality time with the family. Chef Megan will rescue you from the burden of this every day chore. Let her do the cooking and you can do what you love best!

What do I need to provide in my home?

Ideally, a home will also have pots and pans, a cutting board, small ware appliances, and certain handheld tools for cooking and baking purposes. The end result (meal) will reflect what a client owns or doesn’t own. Morsel will make product recommendations for client if he or she is so inclined. Please note for your particular service, certain items will be needed like glass containers for hybrid meal planning and extra cutting boards and sharpened knives for cooking classes. Chef Megan will inform as needed to make your service a success.

I know that I want to use Morsel’s service. What next?

Great! We will have an initial consultation to determine if you and your home is ready for a personal chef. This typically takes place over the phone, text, and email. Notes will be taken to determine likes and dislikes, must-haves and absolutely no’s, etc. by Chef Megan. Or a new client form will be filled out. Please see Terms of Use for our payment process. Please note, we work for clients that require a service at least a week in advance. This offers Chef Megan the opportunity to meet and understand the client, discover his or her requirements, and draft a menu that suits all. It is imperative that clients seeking a personal chef understand this is a personal, one-on-one service and it does take time for Chef Megan to understand the needs of her clients. Many phone calls and email exchanges take place to determine the right fit for everyone. Once a menu is set, a date and time is chosen, and all the details are arranged, Chef Megan will get to work and prepare an unforgettable meal for you and your household or guests!
