Delicious Spoonfuls
2 AugWe are continuing the process of getting Delicious Spoonfuls ice cream bar and cafe, and Deliciouds Abilities Center up and running in South Florida.
Last night we had an information center at Ramona’s kosher cafe in Boca Raton FL.
We brought in kosher pareve (vegetarian) sorbet. 9 different flavors served as tastings. Loved by all! The chocolate peany butter was the favorite. I didn’t taste it since I still don’t like peanut butter.
Soon ,g.d willing, we can serve the ice creams (cholov yistoel) at Ramona’s while we look for a permanent location. From those beginnings we will hire people with Special Needs as we planned from the beginning!

How I Work As a Personal Chef by Chef Helen Gotttesman I have often been asked about how I work as a Personal Chef. First is the keyword Personal. I do not work as a cookie cutter service. My initial meeting with my client is in their home. We talk about what foods they like to eat, how much they eat, whether they have any dietary needs such as salt free, low fat or portion size for example. I get a deposit at our initial meeting to cover at least the groceries and some of the time I have spent planning this out. I cook all the meals in my client’s kitchens, using all their equipment (knives, cutting boards, oven etc.). I shop on the way to my client’s home for the ingredients (just for them, as I only cook for one family at a time) from the butcher, grocery store or fruit market as needed for the recipes we have chosen together. When I get to their home, I unpack, put perishables in the refrigerator organize and start cooking with the pots and pans etc. that my client has asked me to use. (Many of my clients keep strictly kosher, making this quite important). As I said there is nothing “cookie cutter about my service. There is a most popular set up people request. It is called a “five by four”, Five main dishes, five side dishes and four portions of each. The dishes vary, as do the time need to prepare and package for your refrigerator or freezer. All together there are twenty portions of food, to be packaged for one, two or four people. Some of the most frequently requested main dishes have been : Chicken Piccata Chicken Marsala Beef Stew Roasted Salmon with Honey and Dijon Mustard Oriental Marinated Salmon with Lime and Ginger Side dishes include Risotto, Spinach, Potato Kugel, For all of this planning the meals according to your taste, health issues etc. and all of the preparation, packaging and cleaning up will only cost $399.00. That is just $19.95 per serving professionally prepared in your home. Don’t forget the menu is your choice! Call me for further details and to schedule your initial free consultation. (If you live far from the Boca Raton, Florida area I have associates in other parts of the country who do something similar although I don’t know anyone else that focuses on healthy kosher.) You can pay for the service with cash or credit card. Don’t forget the gift certificates for Mother’s Day for your favorite ladies!

Who Needs a Personal Chef?
16 JanLooking back over the past 9 years that I have been a Personal Chef, I noticed patterns. Many of my clients have been retirees living in active adult communities in Palm Beach County , Florida .
Many of the “active adults” whether in their 60’s or 90’s were found by their out of town children looking for a kosher ( or at least Jewish ethnic) chef. The adult children had seen their parents were not eating right and needed someone to prepare the meals the parents wanted and followed the guidelines set in place by their medical professionals.
Easy chicken nuggets
1 Jan
I am always thinking of ways to make easy dishes for my family that pack a lot of flavor.I have another.
Mustard Chicken Nuggets
2 Chicken cutlets
1 egg beaten with 2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp. coarse grain mustard ( I used Dijon.)
2 tbsp corn meal, corn flake crumbs or bread crumbs or oats or Ground nuts (Pecans or almonds)
Cut chick cutlets into bite-sized pieces or buy chicken tenders already cubed. Coat the chicken pieces in egg wash, then in mustard and then into “breading”. Place on oiled baking sheet. Bake at 350 for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning once during cooking, until browned. Yum !

Don’t Forget This When Going Vegan!
30 Dec
This week I that did cooking lessons with a lovely woman who was trying to make her “going vegan” experience more palatable for both herself and her husband.
We prepared several dishes together. When we were almost finished I asked her if she knew about Complementary Proteins. Back in college , (a few decades ago) I took an advanced Nutrition course where we had to either teach Nutrition to men in SRO facilities near Times Square or in a retirement building in Harlem. My protective parents and I chose Harlem. I taught the retirees about the four food groups and complementary proteins. Everyone (a group of 30 to 40 as I recall) thought protein had to come from more expensive sources such as beef, chicken, fish or pork. There are others that can explain better than I, but plant proteins (except soy and possibly quinoa are incomplete). Proteins are made of two amino acids that “complete” with another specific amino acid that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle on the molecular level.
So, beans (like black beans) and rice complete each other. Nuts and wheat (peanut butter sandwich) complete each other. A whole lot cheaper than a steak, burger or whatever. Some vegetarians forget to plan for proteins. Plan ahead, partial proteins can not be used by the body , instead they are excreted.
Need more information, let me know if you need to get in contact with a Registered Dietitian or Nutritionist who can customize a diet with your health issues and dietary choices in mind.
I would love to hear your comments, see your likes and more.

Vegan Cooking
28 Dec
Last week I received a call from a new prospect client. Barbara wanted to learn how to prepare vegan dishes so they were palatable to her and her husband. Once she had chosen vegan way of life for her herself and her husband (retirees from New York) she was eating steamed vegetables every day.As you would expect it was BORING. They don’t like ANY spices, even black pepper was out of the question.
Like me, Barbara keeps kosher. I told her about some dishes that came to mind: black bean soup, mejedra, veggie and tofu stir fry, brown rice, quinoa, roast vegetables, peanut butter cookies, split pea soup and vichyssoise. Easy Peasy.
My new client wanted a hands on class. She helped peel, slice, dice and stir. I explained how browning the vegetables slightly brings out their natural sweetness and carmelization. It was proven successful by Barbara’s husband’s taste test of the tofu stir fry saying “hey, this is good!”. He said the same thing about the vichyssoise (cold potato and leek soup) even before it had cooled. Before I forget, #vegantasty, #chefhelen, #tofustirfry, #tastyvegan, #personalchefkosher, #personalchefkosher, #personalchefrecipes.
I got too busy cooking, I I find myself “in the zone” when I start cooking so unfortunately I don’t have pics to share. Perhaps, next time I will remember?
Next post will have recipes. Is there anything you want to see? Are you looking to learn how t prepare specific dishes? I would love to help you (in the Palm Beach County, Florida area. If not, I know Personal Chefs in other parts of the country to refer you to.
Let’s hope and pray 2017 brings us all of the health, prosperity, and more that we wish for ourselves and others

3 Tips to Make Pasover Easy and Avoid the Expensive Stuff!
13 AprFor many years I heard the complaints and gave in. I kept kosher and like so many other people I found that my husband and son thought that they could not survive without pasta or Cheerios for 8 days. So, I gave in, I bought the Pesach version of pasta (yuck!) and the Pesach version of Cheerios (3 or four times the price per volume!) and found they were not very good.
I found some basic steps I could take to minimize the expense by avoiding the prepared or convenience items which I rarely use anyway and maximize the taste by using more fresh products.So, no cake mixes. No paying extra for broken matzoh (crumble it yourself if you need to!). Enjoy my brownie recipe using potato starch rather than flour!
First, think in terms of the Mediterranean diet or the Oriental diets. More vegetables, prepared different ways alongside smaller portions of proteins for dinners especially during the week. I love roasted vegetables (white and sweet potatoes, zucchini and more) alongside roasted or baked chicken as well as a stir fry of onion, garlic, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini and yellow squash and more. There is always salads like spinach with strawberry to spice things up.
Secondly, think a bit of flexibility on your menus. Burgers don’t need fillers such as matzoh meal or bread crumbs. Without that, they don’t need the egg t hold it together. Mix the ground beef with chopped onions and garlic and shape the burgers into sliders. Bake, grill or fry as normally would and enjoy! You can also add herbs in the mixture as you choose!
Thirdly, since my husband is now Gluten-Free as we found out he has Celiac I prepare his food without wheat. We love to make potatoes several ways. I make potato kugel (with or without carrots, zucchini or sweet potatoes for color), I make mashed potatoes with sauteed onion (using olive oil and no dairy or dairy substitute). Now according to many authorities quinoa is acceptable during Passover!! Hooray as we love it.

Eat This…. Not That
25 Jan
I just started with a new client last week, nice guy. I found him through a dietitian I had met at least a year or two ago. When we met I suggested meeting and seeing if we could work together at least as a referral source for each other. I tried following up but she did not seem interested.
A few weeks ago I noticed she was a friend of a friend on Facebook. I “friended” her. Fortunately she remembered me “Aren’t you the Personal Chef that does Kosher?” She asked. yes, that’s me. She told me that she specializes in a specific diet plan and has clients with specific dietary plans. I told her as long as I know what the client can eat (and can not eat) , how much, and want they don’t like or want and any other specifics to their diet I can make delicious food for them.
Of course, it worked. Ten meals with sides as well as freshly made brown rice rice, quinoa and hummus and a special salad dressing and happy as a clam. I asked yesterday and the only problem was that I gave him more hummus than he needed….
Good news. the dietitian told me that if things worked with the first client more to follow. Happy dance!

Why I Love to Cook for my Clients
31 Dec
In a world where most jobs have us as “cogs in a wheel” working for low wages, without sight of a final goal for the company or ourselves, as a Personal Chef I do everything soup to nets for each client. I find out what
Instead, as a Personal Chef I speak to people about what food means to them that would determine the choices of foods we will prepare for them. Is it simply for nourishment? Must it be a work of art for them to enjoy it? Are there specific dietary needs such as diabetic diet or salt free diet for clients that have been through heat failure or similar issues. Vegetarian or vegan is easy for me since I keep kosher I am very conscious of any indication meat, dairy and shellfish ingredients that would make a dish non-kosher or trayf.
Within the limitations of these health related issues, I find the dishes they most enjoy (or won’t go near). I am able to prepare some of my client’s favorites (and mine) with minor adjustments.
Two weeks ago I prepared one of my signature salmon dishes that normally is marinated in lime, ginger, garlic.oil and soy sauce for a salt free client. I removed the soy sauce for the recipe (I may try the liquid aminos in the future). It was delicious. The husband and wife said they never had such delicious food. I will be back in their kitchen this week to refill their fridge with the foods they most enjoy.
My most requested dishes include roast chicken, beef stew, chicken picata, baked marinated salmon. Roast vegetables, brownies, chicken matzoh ball soup, lentil soup. peanut butter cookies .and meat loaf.
People want healthy well prepared home-style dishes. They can’t believe how good this food tastes. When they tell me this, it is SOOO satisfying. Of course, making money doing what you love is pretty cool too!!
I can use the knowledge I acquired in college studying nutrition as well as the latest trending diet programs to tweak recipes and food choices to an individuals needs.
Call me, tell me what you need, or want. Chef Helen can put together weekly meals, dinners for 2, dinner parties, and of course baking. Always open to new ideas.

Classy Christmas Party for My Client
30 Dec
Last Monday, I received a call from Brian, a new client. His caterer had a death in the family and cancelled two days before his annual Christmas party to be held in his home for 20 people. His caterer had a much fancier menu than I normally do. He had reviewed my website and liked the sound of what I cook.
I called on a friend who had assisted me on other large jobs and together we met with the client. I had explained that all cooking , except for possible baking must be done in his home. together we decided on the following menu.
- mushroom canapes
- mini quiche
- eggplant appetizers with ricotta and tomato
- Butterflied lamb with a Greek yogurt sauce
- Oriental Marinated Red Snapper
- Veal Marsala
- Jasmine Rice
- String Beans Amondine
- Potato Latkes with homemade apple sauce and sour cream
- Brownies
- Apple Crisp with Homemade Whipped Cream
- Peanut Butter Cookies
- Mini Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato
I got so many many compliments from his delightful guests. With the assistance of Jay as server, Josh as bartender and his housekeeper Daisy keeping all the dishes washed we kept the food flowing and the guests happy.
When would you like our team to put a dinner like this for you and your friends. Please, more than two days notice!!
We can do smaller or larger parties , dinner parties, dinner for two, and our ever-present weekly cooking for families, singles and retirees.
