RATES:
For meal prep, expect between $350 (minimum) and $600 per service day. One service day will typically yield a week’s worth of lunches and dinners, which will be stored in your fridge & can be reheated at your convenience. Meal prep service can be scheduled weekly, monthly, or every other week. Service includes menu planning, shopping, in-home cooking, and cleanup. Groceries are billed separately.
In addition to meal prep, I am available for daily service (2-5x/week) as a private chef. This is a premium option, and the overall cost will be higher compared to meal prep.
Rates are determined after a consultation and trial session. My rate is per diem, and is based on a $60/hr desired wage. Rates can vary significantly depending on the client’s individual preferences; therefore, I’m unable to quote an exact rate without completing a trial session.
TRIAL SESSION:
$40/hr, billed hourly. Groceries are billed separately, and a grocery deposit is required.
Prior to your trial session, we’ll discuss your needs and food preferences. I’ll send you a list of menu ideas, and you’ll select what you’d like to try — or, you can send me your own recipes.
I’ll create a shopping list and send it to you for approval. You’ll be able to check off any items you already have. I typically shop at the Wedge Co-op for local and organic ingredients, but I’m happy to shop at your favorite store instead.
I’ll pick up groceries before heading to your home, where I’ll cook, clean up, label your meals, and store them in the fridge.

ABOUT ME:
I am a self-trained chef with seven years of experience working for families and individuals. I also have ten years of experience cooking large-scale for social justice movements. I have a certificate in Pastry Arts from Amaury Guichon’s Pastry Academy in Las Vegas, NV, and I am a MN state-certified Food Safety Manager. I’m also a state-certified Wild Mushroom Harvester.
My specialties and interests include: vegetarian, pescatarian, and vegan diets; Indian, Persian, Eastern European, and Levantine cuisines (to name just a few!); fermentation and preservation; and foraging & local foods. I love learning about global cuisines and visiting international grocers.
When I’m not cooking, foraging, or reading cookbooks, you’ll often find me making ceramics, working in the jeweler’s studio, or learning to sew.
I am passionate about providing creative, delicious meals for those living with restricted diets. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-FODMAP, following a religious diet, or a doctor-mandated diet (etc), I would love to work with you! I’m also happy to work with anyone who eats everything.
I enjoy building long-term relationships with my clients, and I look forward to getting to know you and your unique tastes. Hope to hear from you soon :)
