Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

After the customer reaches out, we send an estimate based on the number of people and meals chosen.

We will buy all the groceries needed for the menu chosen and expect full reimbursement of groceries expense upon disclosing the receipts to the customer on the day of the event.

All meals are prepared on-site, not precooked, and Chef Paula will buy the groceries, prepare the meal, serve and clean thereafter.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Chef Paula has been cooking all her life, has worked as a private chef for companies and institutions. She has a food handler's permit and is ACLS certified.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.

The price will vary mostly on menu options chosen. Filet Mignon is more expensive than chicken for example. The complexity of the meal also comes into play when trying to determine to price.

How did you get started in this business?

Growing up with people that loved food. Preparing and transforming food into something special.

What types of customers have you worked with?

From companies to individuals to events and institutions. Several reviews and examples are posted on our website at paulacamilo.com

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

Wedding reception for 50+ people. Everyone had a blast and loved the food and service provided.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?

Make sure the person has a strong background in cooking. Having a degree in cooking is different than knowing how to cook. Years of experience here are more valued than ever. Also check reviews, of course, the more positive, the better.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?

How do you prepare your food, where do you prepare your food, how do you serve. All these will vary the quality of the food being served greatly. For example, preparing a meal at home is not the same and will not have the same quality as a freshly prepared meal at your venue.
