Tu Country Catering
Personal Chef Service
Your time is valuable and a premium, fleeting commodity. The last thing you should be worrying about is dinner. All the hassle of shopping, fighting for a parking spot, fighting the lines, unloading the groceries, chopping, cooking and everyone's favorite chore, cleaning, can rob you of some very precious time and memories with your family and friends. Fast food and microwave dinners aren't the answer. Meals composed of frozen meats, fake cheese, chemical stabilizers, and unpronouncable ingredients from a chemical laboratory are fit for the trash bin, not you or your family.
What you deserve is farm fresh ingredients, locally grown, professional cooked and tailored to your dietary needs, your specific taste, your time frame and prepared in your North Mississippi home. Wholesome, healthy, home-cooked meals for you and yours are just a call away.
The best restaurant in town just became your dinning room table. Reclaim your life and spend your time on what really matters.

F.A.Q.'s
How does a personal chef service work?
Send an email or call for more information. We will schedule a consultation when you are free and discuss what Tu Country Catering can do to make your life more stress free and enjoyable. We will set up your menus according to your tastes and book a cook date to come to your home. We are liscenced, bonded, and insured.
When your cook date arrives, we will make calls to local farmers and butchers to ensure the freshest and highest quality ingredients available are used to prepare your unique meals. We’ll arrive at your home carrying groceries, kitchen equipment and any necessary tools. All we will need from you is a working stove, oven and a little space to set up.
Depending on your menu, cooking and clean up will take between 4 and 6 hours. We will package and label all meals and place them in the refrigerator or freezer
(you will decide this at our consultation).
A menu for the week with salads, entrees and sides, desserts and fresh baked breads , depending on what you choose, will be waiting for you upon your return from work or play. Re-heating instructions will be left for you and your kitchen will be clean.
Weekly or bi-weekly service is recommended. However, less frequent options are available based on your needs.

Do I need to be there when you are preparing food in my home?
Nope, but it's your house so obviously you can be there if you like. We are licensed, bonded and insured. On the agreed-upon cooking date, fresh ingredients and all necessary utensils are brought to your home for preparation. At the end of the day your kitchen is left spotless with a refrigerator full of meals for you to enjoy. The aroma of a day of home cooking wafting through your house is complimentary.
How are my meals stored?
Usually vacuum-sealed bags are used. Meals are then stored in your refrigerator ready to heat and eat. They can be packaged in single, double or family servings, depending on your needs.
Do you cook for singles?
Yes. Several friends may want to go in together and purchase the service with the meals prepared in one home and packaged individually.
When do I pay for this service?
A grocery deposit for each cheffing date is due 7 days prior to the date. If you are a regular client you will probably choose to leave payment on each cheffing date to cover the next scheduled date. Grocery costs are extra and depend on the menu that is chosen.
