Chef Carole Ortenzo CPC - Organic Personal Chef Service
The focus of Organic Personal Chef Service is to provide delicious, healthy, nutritionally-balanced meals that are customized to your requests and made with the freshest, organic ingredients. I offer the following services: personal cheffing, four-course dinner parties, interactive dinner parties, and private cooking lessons.
I am proud to run Organic Personal Chef Service in an eco-friendly manner. I cook with organic ingredients and support community supported agriculture (CSA) by buying from local, organic farms which employ sustainable farming practices. I use eco-friendly cleaning products, and I compost and recycle so as to add as little as possible to the landfills (I set out one bag of trash for pick-up about every two months).
I also drive a hybrid car that gets phenomenal gas mileage, which not only helps the environment but also cuts transportation costs for your service. Finally, much of the proceeds from my business go to organizations that promote environmentally-sound living, food safety and honest food labeling, and the humane treatment of animals.
Chef Carole also offers Gift Certificates for her Cooking Classes as well as for her Dinner Party Services.
