What is the Food Fairy®?
The Food Fairy® is a North Carolina local company made up of personal chefs, or Food Fairies, who love to cook! Just as importantly, we love to nurture and nourish families and individuals in the Triangle & Lake Norman with wholesome, home-cooked meals prepared in your kitchen.
What does The Food Fairy® do?
How often will you come to my home?
You tell us! Once a week, once a month, every once in a while, or somewhere in between! Most clients use our services weekly, biweekly, monthly, or every six weeks.
Do I need fancy pots, pans, utensils, or appliances?
Will you deliver meals to my home?
We do not deliver meals to your home. Right now all meals are prepared in your kitchen. The Food Fairy® Kitchen offers this option.
Do you offer catering for special events?
Our event private chef services let you be a guest at your own party, from formal to casual, small dinner parties to large weddings, and celebrations of any kind. Your private chef Food Fairy, will meet with you to discuss your event and develop a menu that “wows” your guests!
Can I really afford your services? How much does a personal / private chef cost?
To answer the first question, yes, you can afford a personal chef! The average cost of a serving ranges from $16-$33. The value is tremendous! How valuable is your time? Would you enjoy 5-12 more hours of free time each week instead of planning, shopping and cooking for yourself or your family?
The Food Fairy offers personalized fee schedules. A number of variables factor into the overall cost of Daily Fare services, including the type of food, variety of menu items, portion size, how meals are packaged (individual or family), dietary requirements, and more.
For event/party private chef services, the number of guests and menu options, and full dinner vs. light fair, affect cost as well. We’re always very transparent about pricing.
Do you offer meal pickup services?
Yes! Sunday night – Wednesday you will be able to place orders from a unique menu every week with items to suit virtually any dietary requirement. On Sundays, you can pick up your fresh meals from a designated The Food Fairy® Kitchen location for free or have them delivered for a delivery fee!
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes, we offer gift certificates! Order your gift certificate here!
