About Me

Chef Fred I cooked Thanksgiving dinner by myself at the age of 9. Eleven years later I began cooking professionally in restaurants, hospitals and inns. I’ve spent 25 years in almost every type of food service. Fast food, family style, specialty, 4-star gourmet, institutional, and catered events such as weddings, family reunions and other large party get-togethers. Most memorable comment was “the food was orgasmic.’ (from an open bar wedding reception.) I have served various celebrities, most notably Liberace in Hershey, PA, the Bush family in Kennebunkport, ME and Ken Griffey Jr. and other Cincinatti Reds at spring training in Sarasota, FL. I have cooked in Colorado, Texas, Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire, Florida and now Tennessee. I am proud of our American cuisine and would love to prepare some for you.


How Does it Work?

  • Kitchen Magician Personal Chef Service offers fresh and completely customized home-cooked meals.
  • I create personalized menus based on YOUR tastes and needs ... not the same old off-the-shelf choices.
  • I prepare meals using fresh ingredients, and package them for your fridge or freezer along with reheating instructions.
  • Great for when you want to follow a certain eating plan or diet, but just don’t have the time to shop, plan and prepare.
  • Gift certificates available ... making a great gift for new moms, seniors, people following a doctor-prescribed diet or recovering from an illness – anyone who wants to eat right at home without cooking!

Things to Consider First

  • Is there a particular eating plan you’d like to start following? (Lower fat, lower carb, lower salt, vegetarian, Atkins/South Beach/Weight Watchers, etc.)
  • How often would you like to serve one of my meals? Every weeknight? Once or twice a week? or just “in a pinch?” This will help determine how many meals I make at a time, and how often I come.
  • What cuisines and foods do you especially enjoy? And just as importantly, which do you dislike?
  • Think about what you will do with the time you’ll save not having to shop for groceries, cook dinner, and clean up afterwards!

I work with you to discover your needs and tastes, and develop your personal menu. On the “cook day,” I shop for the freshest ingredients and prepare all meals in your home. I bring all the necessary cooking equipment, and when I’m done, you have a selection of fresh home-cooked meals waiting for you, packaged for storing in your refrigerator or freezer, with instructions for reheating. You also have a spotlessly clean kitchen, with only the aroma of tonight’s dinner to let you know I was there.

Don’t be forced into takeout food.....save that pizza for when you really want it, not just when there’s no time to cook!
