You can find the answer on what to charge pretty much anywhere you look in a search engine for personal chefs. The prices vary, but not by much. It really is dependent on where you like in the country, or if there are other services like this around you.
I know (roughly) what I'm going to be charging as I go into the PC biz, but I wont post it, for the reason Suzanne said. I like this site too much, to have to worry about a simple price amount.
Do you ever watch the Food Network show Recipe for Success? They have PC's and Dream Dinner "types" on semi-often. There's good info in them, including prices that they charge. If nothing else, don't be afraid to call some places like that to get a price.
Here's a few ideas of basics that I've written down for what I'm going to be trying to do, that freeze well...
Meatloaf (this should be a duh)
Soups and chilis
Any kind of casserole
Cookies (Yes already cooked cookies CAN be frozen)
Garlic Breads, Pizza Breads, etc.
Pastas IN sauces, not so well with pasta by itself.
BBQ (anything)
The list goes on and on. One idea you might try is just simply going to the grocery store, and look in the frozen foods section. Chances are, if it's a food, it's freezable.
Good luck, and I too hope you get some responses that help us all out.
