Hi Terry, Candy and Meredith! I just received my prize package today and I am SOOOOOOOOO excited!!! First of all, I love getting surprise packages…and second, I opened up my box and kept finding more and more goodies as I went through!! I found the spice caddy first and thought – oh wow, that’s awesome…I need that!! I love that! Then I found the framed and signed beautiful award and I was so thrilled and proud and can’t wait to hang it on my wall and put it on my website now that it feels official!! Ooh, maybe I’ll scan it….when I figure that out that is!! Next I found... View Article

Hi chef Candy, I received your information packet and have browsed your sight quite often. Of the three big personal chef sights, I think I like yours best. Especially your commitment to the industry… Thank you so much for your help this morning. I have talked to everyone now. But you made my decision for me. The level of professionalism and your love of what you do tells me a lot. I think you are definately going to be able to help more, and teach me more than anyone else.

Candy: Proud to say I am finally a member of the American Personal Chefs Association. Had to learn the “hard way” again. Shopped for liability insurance and web hosting on my own. Wow. Wonder how some people survive doing liability insurance on their own. No comparison on what the APPCA offers vs. paying for liability insurance on your own. Thanks also for your kind words and low key sales approach. Your competition just doesn’t get it. Everyone I talked to at San Diego and in Chicago was very helpful. Please pass on to Karen Tursi how great she is to be part of the APPCA. She is truly a walking... View Article

I attended a seminar taught by Jim in February and it was fantastic! I still can’t believe how much I learned in just two days. It was great to learn the ropes from Jim. He’s not only extremely knowledgeable about the business, but also very entertaining. Having left a teaching career to start my personal chef business, I can say that there aren’t many people out there who can present for 8 hours and keep it interesting. Jim made the seminar informative and fun. I still refer back to the pages of notes, tips, suggestions, advice, and ideas for my business that I got in February. When I was finally... View Article

Hi Candy I just wanted to let you know again how much I enjoyed attending the 2 day personal chef class in Gaithersburg last weekend. It was really terrific. I learned more than I had ever hoped for. You are a wealth of information and the practical experience you shared was invaluable. I enjoyed your style and sense of humor very much. I feel like if I lived near you we could be instant friends for life. I wasn’t sure if I would really go forward with this at first, but after the weekend I am excited about doing what I love for real now. Your speakers, including Jim were... View Article

Dear Candy, Excellent information, so many tips and helpful hints. I always feel if I get one great idea from a weekend seminar, it’s been well worth my time – this weekend far exceeded my expectations. I learned so much and thank you for sharing your wealth of information. Your passion is contagious! The logistics of the class were also very good. You handled all our random questions with grace (sorry if we all broke into your flow so many times!) We’re all so excited so thank you! The location was fine and I loved the size of the class, it felt very intimate. I would tell anyone to attend... View Article

I just wanted to take a moment to comment on the seminar that I attended in New Jersey the weekend of October 15. As with any new venture, I was very nervous about becoming a personal chef prior to attending the seminar. I know that I can handle the cooking, but I was concerned about the business end. Jim Davis is a great instructor. He was so generous with sharing his knowledge. He discussed how to start our businesses, PR, menu planning, and so many other relevant topics. He also had us work on that all important elevator speech. This past Saturday, I found myself giving my elevator speech to... View Article

Hi Candy! Just wanted to let you know I have not one, but TWO clients now. (Only got the business license 10 days ago.) Both clients came from the personalchef.com web site. The first client assessment took about three hours. That woman can TALK. (A moment of silent prayer that she is not home on Monday, her first cook date.) Thank you!!! It works. You’re the best. Be well.
