Culinary Services

Menu Planning

Do you have a special diet but don’t know how to prepare meals for your nutritional needs? I can design weekly or monthly menus that take the guesswork out of eating healthy, wonderful foods that adhere to special diets.

Pantry Cleanout/Makeover

Is your pantry filled with junk? Do you want to start a healthy eating regimen but feel overwhelmed by the current contents of your kitchen? With my pantry cleanout/makeover services, I will clean out your kitchen of unhealthy foodstuffs, donate acceptable goods to your local food bank, and restock your pantry and fridge with the healthy staples you need to prepare nutritious and clean meals and snacks.

Private Chef

Are you strapped for time, but have a health condition requiring a specific diet? Do you crave clean foods but are unsure how to create meals that adhere to clean eating standards? Do your food allergies make dining out dangerous or frustrating? I have experience preparing meals for clients with health conditions including acid reflux, Crohn’s disease, IBS, Celiac’s disease, infertility, obesity, and autoimmune diseases. Hire me as your private chef and let me work with you, in your home kitchen, on completely customizable meal plans that suit your health needs and lifestyle (you decide whether that means breakfast/lunch/dinners and snacks, just weeknight dinners, desserts, or special meals.)

Cooking Lessons

Have you always wanted to learn how to Paleo-fy your favorite comfort food? How about that super nutritious bone broth everyone is talking about? Are you completely mystified by salad dressings? Let’s plan a 4-hour lesson around several recipes, which we will prepare together step by step. At the end of the class, you’ll have delicious family style dishes, as well as recipes to keep.

Dinner Parties

Are you celebrating a birthday, but having a difficult time finding a restaurant that can accommodate multiple food allergies and diet preferences? Are you hosting a baby shower for a sister in-law who’s allergic to dairy? I specialize in small celebrations with a health supportive slant. I am your go-to for all your private chef dinner party needs!

Greenmarket Tours

Intimidated by the variety of foods offered at your local greenmarket? What the heck is a ramp, anyway? With me as your guide, we’ll meet the farmers behind the food at your local outdoor market, asking questions to further your knowledge of local seasonal foods. Combine a greenmarket tour with a cooking lesson for a full day of market exploration, ingredient selection, and meal preparation.
