Good luck, I know it can be frustrating. I just noticed that your a chef, a buddy of mine had a personal chef associated with the doctors in the area come out and cook at his house for all his meals for 2 weeks at a time. The pay was pretty high since it's based on doctor contacts and planned meals to loose weight. The food was all purchased by the people he goes to see based on the shopping list he provides. He receives about 1800 for 8 hours of work (not including website meal planner costs and shopping list preps) in their kitchen, making 2 people meals for the 2 week time frame. The chef then reinforces this by offering a course on cooking after 2 months of personal chef duties. The reason it's not offered up front is because of how the doctors want it to sink into the people using the service that they need to know what they like so the chef can teach the techniques on those types of foods that they are ordering. I believe the course was about 400 to my friend and his wife. Since the guy stays busy I assume that his referrals (doctors) are busy too. Something that may or may not suit you, but it's out there just the same.
