The focus of my service is to provide nourishing, balanced dishes that save you time in the kitchen, are made specifically to your tastes and address your dietary concerns. I work with you personally to design a customized meal plan that fits your schedule and lifestyle and is prepared using only the ingredients you enjoy. Your personalized meals are prepared fresh and then delivered to your door ready to be quickly heated up when you need them.

Services

Customized meal delivery service working one-on-one with clients to design affordable, individual or family style weekly menus that are delivered fully cooked, portioned, and ready to heat and enjoy.

Specialization

All menus are custom designed for each client, taking into account their individual tastes, dietary needs, allergies, medical requirements, and personal dietary goals. A thorough intake is completed before services begin to document preferred ingredients, foods to avoid, portion preferences, and the desired style of meals.

Differences

Unlike commercial meal delivery services, as a personal chef I can offer a much wider and more varied selection of dishes. Rather than relying on repetitive weekly set menus that clients pick from, I design unique menus for each client tailored to their individual preferences and needs. Meals are prepared one at a time for each person, using information gathered from their intake, instead of being cooked in large batches and portioned out to multiple customers. Simply put, if you don’t like broccoli, you won’t have to eat it. Does cilantro taste like soap to you? Then I will make sure no cilantro is included.

I am native to Los Angeles and let me tell you, growing up in the land of sunshine, movie stars and fad diets certainly leaves an impression. But, around my house, the simple alchemy of whole fresh ingredients transforming into our family meal was the thing that held an endless fascination. Watching others cook was never enough for me, I wanted to be the one making that magic. I wanted to wield those knives and discover the secrets of those ingredients. I wanted the life of a chef.

In 2002 I set off to London to receive classical training at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School. After earning my Grande Diplôme, I worked in both cuisine and pâtisserie at a Michelin starred restaurant in London’s Soho district. Upon returning to Los Angeles, I had the honor of working as a chef for a private family for 11 years. After that rewarding chapter, I pivoted to offering a carefully curated meal delivery service tailored to my clients individual tastes and needs. More than two decades later, I continue to create delicious, nourishing meals for my loyal clients.

My passion for creating beautiful, flavorful dishes with a strong focus on my clients’ goals and individualized dietary needs has guided me to this point in my career. I’m excited to share this rewarding journey with you and help you enjoy delicious food that supports your health and lifestyle.

Ketosis Diet

Welcome! I wanted to add this section to my website to offer a little glimpse into the Keto diet. It is widely discussed and debated and is certainly not for everyone, but for those who have discovered the benefits it offers, this section is for you.

It is my hope to give you a home away from home while you are eating Keto. No matter where you are on your journey, just starting out or already living the Keto-life, the experience can be made better by joining a community and exchanging ideas.

I have worked as a personal chef for 25 years helping clients balance their passion for food with a healthy lifestyle. While working with countless people who need meals that address specialized dietary needs, allergies or medical diets, I discovered Keto. The ketosis diet is the essence of alchemy. Like lead to gold, it is fat to energy. So many of my clients who were struggling with their health or weight are now flourishing because they have started a Keto diet. Now, my goal is to help you to establish healthy eating programs to enhance your lives, build energy, reduce inflammation and moderate weight. For those with diabetes, high cholesterol, epilepsy, inflamation or struggling with hormone imbalance or menopause Keto can bring about many beneficial changes for you. For me personally, late onset allergies and hormonal imbalance have left me feeling a stranger in my own body. The search for the right dietary balance to resolve that has brought the Ketosis lifestyle to the forefront of my attention.

I have created this section of the website to share some of my delicious Keto creations, why not branch out and give them a try!

With my Keto recipes section, I hope to take some of the pressure out of cooking and make the Keto lifestyle exciting and easy to follow. It is designed to show you the best use of your time and money when it comes to Keto dishes and their ingredients. I am excited to have you sitting across my virtual kitchen counter from me as I create my next culinary transformation.

Visit me here as I add recipes, informational blogs and videos to keep you on track, within your macros and discovering that this is the opposite of a diet. Keto is an opportunity to dive into a way of eating that can transform your health while you enjoy to the absolute max foods that are not only delicious, but make you feel amazing.
