What We Do

Close your eyes and imagine: you come home from a long and busy day. In only minutes, you’re putting the finishing touches on a gourmet dinner prepared by House Specials. Spend the time you would have spent shopping and cooking, relaxing with your family!


Terry Antoniuk makes this possible. As owner and head chef of House Specials Personal Chefs & Caterers, she plans menus, shops for groceries, and prepares nutritious dinners for a host of satisfied clients. Many are professionals - individuals or couples who are active, health-conscious people. They want delicious, preservative-free dinners, but don’t have time to make them.


A Healthy Choice


Think this service is an unaffordable luxury? Think again. The average American spends 46% of their food budget on meals prepared outside the home. Much of that is fast food, eaten on the run. House Specials personal chef service is the healthy alternative.


It’s about time


Shopping and cooking home cooked meals takes time – an increasingly valuable commodity. What is the point of being successful if you don’t have time to enjoy the results of your success? A personal chef service allows families to enjoy healthy, wholesome and flavorful meals together – gourmet cooking or meat and potatoes style.

Some clients arrange for a personal chef every other week. Others find a
monthly service fits their needs. House Specials customizes the service and
menus for each client.


Getting Started


To begin, a one-page food questionnaire gives the client an opportunity to
state preferences and dietary requirements. Do you prefer green beans or
broccoli, pasta or rice? No dairy? No wheat? No problem!
Next, customized menus are created. We have on-going communication
with our clients to make sure each is satisfied. Each client receives a menu
in advance. They can make changes or suggestions and let us know if there
will be guests for any of the meals.


A typical day finds the chef preparing 10 dinner entrees with side dishes,
complete with labels and instructions. The meals are tasty and nutritious
– easy to heat and serve in minutes, leaving you free to relax and enjoy
them. Eat them at home or take them on vacation.


House Specials makes a great gift!
