Question 1

Do you deliver or cater?

Accepted Answer

All of my food is prepared in home kitchens, and not in a commercial kitchen space. For this reason, I do not offer delivery or catering services.

Question 2

Where do you travel?

Accepted Answer

For weekly meal prep services, I am currently working within a 20 mile radius of Durham, NC. 
For events and private dinners, I will travel up to 30 miles outside of Durham, including Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Garner, Cary and Apex.

Question 3

What do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

While my cooking is tailored to each of my clients needs and palates, I personally love working with seasonal ingredients and using as much variety as possible. Big salads, grain and rice bowls with fun flavors and lots of textures, stir fries and curries are some of my favorites. 
I cooked exclusively plant based for a little over 2 years, and still love preparing vegan and vegetarian dishes. I am also well versed in gluten free cooking.

Question 4

How long can I expect to be on your waitlist?

Accepted Answer

Since weekly clients are committed to this service long-term, I can't provide an exact time frame. Because of this, I only keep a few waitlist spots open.

Question 5

Can you work with my dietary restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, I'm happy to work with any dietary restrictions or allergies you have. I do charge an additional fee for more restrictive diets however, as these menus require more time and planning. I do not offer macros and I am not a nutritionist.

Question 6

Is everything organic?

Accepted Answer

I usually pick what looks best, which is mostly organic, but not always 100%. I am happy to shop with your preference either way.

Question 7

Can I gift your services?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I offer gift certificates for private dinners. A 50% deposit is required up front, with the remaining 50% due along with the grocery cost on the day of the dinner the recipient chooses. A printable gift certificate is available upon request.
