Mother's Little Helpers

Ah, remember when weekends meant sleeping late, taking in a movie and meeting up with friends? Now, with a newborn, not only is sleep a distant memory, but so is entertaining. Weekends are now about ordering in because you've learned the hard way that nothing sends your infant into a screaming fit more than the words, “Can I take your order?”, and if you're lucky enough to book a sitter, she's liable to demand a king's ransom in return for watching Lost while your babe slumbers quietly in another room (only to wake up as soon as you return home).

You'd love to pull together a delicious meal for your jolly group of friends, but how do you plan a menu, shop and cook on two hours sleep? My Chef Direct enables you to enjoy personally prepared, custom-designed, tasty cuisine in your very own home. The creators, Carlo Soranno, a Johnson & Wales graduate and chef in San Francisco and New York for the past seven years, and Amanda Jaffe, a Brown graduate and entrepreneur, have assembled a team of chefs – each with years of experience in some of the finest restaurants – to offer a solution for busy New Yorkers that crave a little help in the kitchen.

A personal chef will meet with you to plan a dinner party based on your tastes, preferences and budget. Whether you desire vegetarian, kosher, low fat, or any cuisine type or special delicacy from around the world, My Chef Direct has got you covered. Now you can finally enjoy your own party, secure in the knowledge that, while you fashionably sip cocktails looking rested and relaxed in the living room, an unforgettable meal is being created in your kitchen.

And for those adjusting to life as a threesome or who could use a boost on planning healthy family meals, My Chef Direct also offers weekly meal preparation and one-on-one private cooking lessons.

Time to hand over the potholders and let someone take care of you for a change.
