Therapeutic Personal Chef

We begin with a Nutritional Therapy intake and a focused session, then I turn what we learn into thoughtful, chef-prepared food. It is nutrition support with the cooking handled, too.

Where the two meet / 001

The strategy
and the meal.

We talk about what you need, then I source and cook food around that plan. It makes the plan a whole lot easier to follow.

A good fit if / 001

  • 01You have a health, energy, or physical goal you would like food to support.
  • 02You have a sense of what you want to eat, but getting it done is the hard part.
  • 03You want customized meals that are still satisfying, beautiful, and varied.

What is included / 002

  • 01A Nutritional Therapy intake and focused working session before chef service begins
  • 02Menus built around your preferences, allergies, goals, and schedule

The rhythm / 003

Here is how
it usually goes.

  1. 01

    Build the foundation

    We begin with a Nutritional Therapy intake and focused session to get clear on your needs, goals, favorite foods, and schedule.

  2. 02

    Make a plan

    I turn what we learned into a menu and service rhythm that works around your schedule, appetite, and the nights you do not want to start from scratch.

  3. 03

    Cook

    I source and cook the food with a plan we can keep refining together.

The practical details / 004

What happens
between us.

01 / Rhythm

A cadence that fits

We will choose a rhythm that works with your needs, your schedule, and mine.

02 / Menu

Time to look it over

I send your proposed menu about five to seven days before I cook. You can request changes before the 72-hour menu cutoff, and I may make thoughtful substitutions if an ingredient is unavailable or not at its best.

03 / Details

Let’s talk through the fit

During your discovery call, we will talk through the service details, timing, and what will work best for your household.

04 / In your kitchen

Ready when you are

You will receive simple storage and reheating guidance, with thoughtful choices that help reduce waste.

Kitchen philosophy / 005

How I think
about the food.

These are the things I care about in the kitchen. They are guideposts, not rules.

01 / Source with care

I love working with seasonal produce. When it makes sense for your preferences, budget, and what is available, I also look for wild-caught seafood, pasture-raised eggs and poultry, and grass-fed meats.

02 / Let time do its work

I am always drawn to the slow stuff: fermentation, roasting, braising, and letting simple ingredients turn into something really satisfying.

03 / Use what we have well

I try to use what I have well and waste less along the way. For clients who eat meat, that can include complete-use and nose-to-tail cooking, always based on what feels right for you.

A simple beginning
