FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1- How does menu planning work?

Every menu is customized to your household. We do not use fixed rotating menus.

During onboarding, we gather detailed preferences, dietary needs, and comfort foods unique to your family. Over the first several weeks, feedback is essential. Menus evolve over time so that your household's tastes and rhythms are fully understood and reflected.

All planning is guided by the Atelier Marquise Method™, ensuring consistency and seasonality while remaining personalized.

2- Do we need to purchase groceries?

No. We manage grocery sourcing on your behalf.

Ingredients are selected intentionally based on your preferences, quality standards, and seasonal availability. Grocery costs are billed separately.

3- How do you handle grocery shopping decisions?

We manage grocery sourcing on your behalf.

To minimize waste and duplication, we ask for a quick photo of your refrigerator the evening before your scheduled session. For dry goods and pantry staples, we communicate if anything appears low or unclear on our inventory notes.

This weekly check-in typically takes less than five minutes and allows us to shop efficiently while keeping your kitchen organized and intentional.

4- Is it the same chef every week?

Yes. Chef consistency is maintained week to week.

Founder-led sessions are cooked personally by Chef Asude.

Marquise-led sessions are prepared by a chef trained in the Atelier Marquise Method™ and supervised directly by Chef Asude. In the rare case of an emergency replacement, communication and detailed transfer of your household preferences are handled internally to ensure continuity.

5- How long does each session take?

Most weekly sessions take approximately 4 to 5 hours, depending on menu complexity and kitchen setup.

6- How do you learn our family's style?

Understanding your household's style is a process.

We observe preferences, portion patterns, ingredient reactions, and feedback over the first several weeks. What feels like "comfort food" or "light dinner" differs for every family. Through ongoing communication and small refinements, we align the service closely with your tastes and lifestyle.

This is one reason we request a minimum three-month commitment. It allows the system to fully calibrate.

7- Do you cook separately for children?

We design every menu with the entire household in mind.

Whenever possible, meals are structured to be flexible so that children and adults can enjoy the same base components in slightly different formats. Seasoning levels, textures, and presentation can be adjusted thoughtfully to suit younger family members while maintaining cohesion across the menu.

If needed, a portion of the weekly menu can also be dedicated specifically to children's preferences.

8- How many meals are included?

Each weekly session typically includes up to four customized dishes yielding approximately 16 to 20 servings total. Meals are designed for flexible use throughout the week and often include freezer-friendly components.

Additional dishes or servings can be added upon request.

9- Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes. We regularly accommodate allergies, food sensitivities, and specific dietary preferences. Menus are designed to fit your household rather than forcing your household to adapt to the menu.

10- Do you offer event or special occasion cooking?

Yes. Private dining and special occasion services are available on a limited basis. Please inquire directly for availability.

11- What is the Atelier Marquise Method™?

The Atelier Marquise Method™ is our structured approach to weekly in-home personal chef service.

It combines seasonal awareness, thoughtful sourcing, intentional batch cooking, and ongoing refinement based on your feedback. Rather than rotating generic menus, we build a culinary rhythm unique to your household.

All Marquise chefs undergo an extensive training process in this method. Every step, from menu design to sourcing decisions, execution, organization, and kitchen reset, follows a meticulous system developed by Chef Asude. Each chef is trained to uphold the same standards, sequence, and attention to detail, ensuring that every session reflects the same level of care and consistency.

The result is consistency without repetition, flexibility without chaos, and meals that evolve naturally with your tastes over time.

12- Do you offer event or special occasion cooking?

Yes. Private dining and special occasion services are available on a limited basis. Please inquire directly for availability.

13- How do we get started?

Begin by scheduling a consultation to discuss your household's needs, availability, and next steps.
