A full time dedicated professional Chef is exclusively yours in Jamaica.

Your chef will handle all the grocery shopping and all meal preparation.  The chef will also adapt his menu for children.

The Chef will pre- purchase your first few meals plus pantry staples, then finish the weeks shopping after meeting you. At, weeks end,  the Chef will present receipts for all the food and beverages and reconcile your account.

A typical grocery budget is $55-$65 per adult per day and $25 per day for preteens. This may vary up or down depending on market prices and menus.

Plan to pay for your groceries and gratuities in cash.  Both USDollars and JADollars are welcomed.  Alternatively, if one or more of you wish to go to the supermarket with your cook, you may use your credit card.
