What kind of services we offer
Beautiful Food Personal Chef Service (PCS), located in downtown Decatur, is owned by Chef Anna Lesichar and consists of, well . . . Anna! Our services include in-home meal preparation, dinner parties and small event catering. Here’s how it works.
- Meal Preparation
- Chef Anna designs and prepares fresh and delicious meals designed by Anna, based on criteria provided by you, the client. On your cooking day, Anna shops for groceries, brings them to your home, then prepares, packages and labels each dish with heating instructions. All your beautiful meals are left in the fridge to freeze as you like. Beautiful Food brings all the necessary equipment to complete your service and leaves your kitchen to bask in the aroma of tonight’s dinner!
- Dinner Parties
- Most of us agree that a special dinner with family, friends, co-workers or your significant other sounds like a wonderful idea. But not everyone has the time, energy or inclination to plan and execute a fabulous meal. Beautiful Food will plan, prepare and serve your guests a dinner reflective of your personal taste and style in the comfort of your home environment. Please contact Anna for more details and check out photos of dishes served at previous events at "Anna´s Blog."
- Small Event Catering
- Beautiful Food caters small events in your home for groups consisting of no greater than 25 guests. Please contact Anna for more details and check out the photos from previous events at "Anna´s Blog."
