FROM OUR CLIENTS

"Alex provides a unique and very much appreciated service for me. My career requires long hours and prior to Alex, dinner was many times an after thought - stopping to pick up something on the way home or kludging together something quickly. Alex comes to my house every few weeks and prepares many "go to" meals - thus ensuring we have healthy and delicious dinners always available. She has also catered several cocktail parties for us - with delicious and unusual appetizers. While her service is definitely a luxury, the price is very reasonable. When compared to take out food on the run, her meals are actually less expensive and obviously much more delicious and healthier. I would highly recommend Alex!"

-Molly, Middletown
















In our increasingly busy world, it’s easy to
forsake the simpler things in life.
Chez Vous is
able to offer the solution.  Good food, quality
ingredients, and the opportunity to savor
a moment of your day are all things
that Chez Vous strives to provide. 


The concept of a personal chef
may sound extravagant and
expensive.
However, compared
to how valuable your time is, a
personal chef will only enhance
your life by saving you time. 
Chez Vous will buy the groceries,
do the cooking, clean up when
finished, and fill your home with
enticing aromas. Hiring a personal
chef from Chez Vous will allow you
to eat healthier, while eating well, and
offering you a better way of life. 


When working with Chez Vous, you know what exactly goes
into your meal,
how its prepared, and that it is customized for
your palette alone. Whether it’s a regular weeknight dinner for the
family, stocking the freezer, or even a romantic dinner for two, Chez Vous will provide you with fresh, custom-made meals. 


We at Chez Vous hope to cater to your dietary needs
and
gastronomic desires in a personal way.
