Dallas-Based Select Chef Brings Personalized, Chef-Prepared Culinary Experiences To Your Home

Like many other working moms, Select Chef founder and CEO Christine Henry-Musa struggled to find the time to provide her family with high-quality meals while also juggling the demands and schedules of work, community involvement, family, and friends.

“A healthy lifestyle has always been important to me,” Henry-Musa tells PaperCity. “But when I became pregnant with my son a few years ago, the desire for an organic, nutrition-filled routine took on a whole new meaning for me because I knew how much it would affect every part of my son’s growth and development.”

A graduate of both Princeton and Harvard Business School (and a well-seasoned executive), Henry-Musa knew she wasn’t alone in managing this challenge. Anyone balancing multiple schedules can relate to the ongoing task of taking care of personal health while also managing the needs of a modern lifestyle. She knew that more than anything else — if she was truly honest — she desired for someone else to do the planning, grocery shopping, cooking, and clean-up for her.

The Select Chef Solution

Select Chef is a culinary experience created to simplify healthy eating for those with an active lifestyle, by providing the option to enjoy a high-quality, delicious, chef-prepared meal from the comfort of your own home.  Select Chef is the first Dallas-based company to create a convenient online reservation system to book your own personal chef to prepare fresh and organic meals for both one-time and recurring experiences.  Your personal chef provides all of the cooking equipment and ingredients, prepares and serves your food, and cleans up so that you can enjoy a fine dining experience at home.

“So many of us coordinate the help of a housekeeper or landscaper, but how many of us organize help in the kitchen?” Henry-Musa says. “By providing in-home culinary experiences with menus carefully designed by Executive Chefs, Select Chef helps busy families and professionals spend more time doing what they love — with the people they love.”

How Select Chef Works

Whether you’re looking for a weekly routine, a date night, or celebratory dinner to host — or need the extra assistance during an upcoming season (perfect for life with a newborn!), Select Chef caters to the needs of all its customers.

It makes the task of feeding a whole family simpler than ever. Most of all, you’re able to look forward to a meal prepared by an expert while you enjoy a night off.
