: : Hi again everyone, I have another question for those who are already doing personal cheffing; do clients ever ask "what type of certification or licencing (sp?) you have
: One thing that I would recommend is getting a "Food Handler Certificate" (thats what they call it here in NY). Its normally given after completion of a Sanitation Course.
: Two reasons to get it are-
: 1) To make sure you are familiar with the ins and outs of sanitation
: 2) If there is ever a problem you can show that you cared enough to get the certificate.

George is right. We recommend that all Personal Chef service owner/operators complete the Food Handler's or Food Sanitation course and exam, and carry their certification card with them to show to potential clients, so that the client will know that they are in the hands of an individual who has been trained and certified in Safe Food Handling techniques - sanctioned by their State or City Government.
