Services

My services include Weekly Meal Service, Catering (for parties of all sizes), Kids Cooking Classes, Kids Birthday Parties, Adult Cooking Parties, Personal Menu Planning and Corporate Meal Consulting

  • Weekly Meal Service

    Each service consists of 3 to 5 entrees with side dishes and something I call an EXTRA. It could be rich brownies for you and your little ones or a smoothie set up or lots of other imaginative things.  
    All entrees are prepared the day of your service and stored appropriately in your refrigerator or freezer.
    Meals that would typically take an hour to prepare can now be enjoyed in minutes. Of course I will be glad to do any variations of my services. For example I would cook at your home once in 3 days instead of 5, etc.
    Once you start your service, I'll create a menu based on your specifications. It will change weekly and you can approve it via phone or email.
    One of the reasons my service differs from others is that I shop for produce and meats only in Whole Foods, Berkeley Bowl, Market Hall or specialty markets.

  • Catering

    Do you dream of throwing a cocktail party where you don't have to run around at the last minute to get the Brie? I can provide the most elegant, delicious hors d'oeuvres for your next event.

    I do CATERING for parties of all sizes, from San Francisco to the Silicon Valley. So, whether it's a regular dinner at home or a private party with
    your friends, I will surely make it a special event.



What clients are saying about Chez Ellen Personal Chef Services:

I would like to recommend Chez Ellen Personal Chef Services. Ellen is a fantastic chef, she totally understood what I was looking for. She designs a personal menu for me each week and
sends it to me for my review. I really look forward to her meals each day because between my job and the kids I have no time to cook a delicious, nutritious and dare I say it -- gourmet
-- meal each night. Ellen really delivers.

Thank you so much for helping to make Mike’s birthday party so amazing. Everyone including us of course raved about the food. Everything was delicious and your attention and professionalism was unmatched.

I have been using a wonderful personal chef for over a year. Her name is Ellen
Doren. Her business is Chez Ellen and she does catering as well as meal preparation. For her personal chef service, she will meet with you to discuss your dietary needs and likes and dislikes. Then she prepares menus for your approval. She comes to your home and prepares the meals at whatever interval you work out -- for us she comes every other week and makes 6 meals, three for the fridge and three for the freezer. We started using Ellen when I was 6 months pregnant and my husband tore his Achilles tendon so we were a pretty low-functioning pair. But we continue to use her because with two kids and two working parents, getting a meal on the table every day is no easy task!

----------------------------

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for making our day so special. Words cannot even express what an exquisite job you did for us Saturday. The food was truly superlative. Our guests were incredibly impressed, and there were hard to impress people there, including gourmet cooks and even one
restaurant critic.
The food itself was indescribable, it was so excellent. I think the best compliment came when almost everyone said about one food or another, "I never liked that before, but now I LOVE it!" I don't think anything says it better than that. The food
was absolutely divine.
Truly, thanks to you, the evening was magical and like a dream come true. I
couldn't have asked for more and I wouldn't have changed a thing. You are
perfection and I'm delighted to have found a treasure in you.
