I mentioned in another thread that my yoga teacher has asked me to prepare meals for her family a few times a week. We are meeting tonight to work out the details, but I have no idea of how much to charge her. I know this could vary depending on many factors, but if any of you have ever done this sort of thing, I would appreciate your input. I'm not necessarily looking to make a lot of money, but I certainly can't do it for free! Any suggestions will help!
I'd work out a menu first. After that, head to the store to price out ingredients. Determine how many hours each meal will take and come to a flat per hour rate. You could look into how much chefs/cooks make per hour at some local eateries in your area.
