In Good Taste

Your Personal Chef Service in and around Westfield, Indiana

Hi, I am Liz Geeslin and this is how it all started

After 35 years as an equine professional living my “dream job” and then approaching the 50 year old mark, I decided I was ready for another phase to take place in my life. While eating out A LOT and not on any kind of regular exercise program, I had put on weight and then one day, I decided to make a change.

I made a commitment to eating better by learning to prepare healthier versions of meals my husband and I were eating and started with baby steps walking on the treadmill, eventually running (I use the term running VERY loosely). In May of 2003, I ran my first Indianapolis Mini Marathon and ran it for 5 consecutive years.

Before I knew it, 30 pounds were gone and I was on a roll. I knew I wanted to help others fulfill their wellness goals and decided to become a Personal Chef, focusing my new business on healthy home cooking.

I joined the USPCA (United Personal Chef Association) in the Fall of 2002, went through their Culinary Institute training in Atlanta and started In Good Taste Personal Chef Service in February 2003.

I fulfilled the requirements to become a CPC (Certified Personal Chef) after only 2 years in business and I am ServeSafe certified every 5 years.

I am passionate about cooking, but most of all, I am passionate about helping the people that are in my life because of my personal chef service. I am truly blessed to have an incredible family, wonderful friends, AMAZING clients and to be doing what I love!

How it works

My standard service is called a 5 x 4. This means I prepare 5 different entrees with 4 servings of each, for a total of 20 adult meals. When appropriate, the entrees will also have a side dish. I can increase the number of servings to 6 or 8 servings of each entrée to suit your family’s size if needed.

I package each meal according to my clients needs. My single clients prefer everything portioned and packaged individually, as well as some couples that might be eating on different time schedules. I will do what works best for you. I also have clients that enjoy their meals as their lunch. These are meals ready to eat when YOU want them!

Once you have decided you would like to try my chef service, we will go over your questionnaire, I will answer any questions you might have and then we schedule your cook-day. I will plan a menu around your food preferences or you can select your entrees from the sample entrée lists.

It is my passion to help people eat healthy, delicious food and knowing they have an answer to that “What’s For Dinner” question!
