Home cooked meals are within reach

Fresh, creative meals are ready to plate and eat. Local, organic ingredients are expertly combined to render wholesome, customized lunches and dinners.

How it Works

After contacting me, I will send you a questionnaire about your needs, likes/dislikes, frequency, allergies, etc. We will meet to make sure your meals are within your tastes and logistics. You have two different plans to choose from:

  1. Choose the amount and meals from a list of changing offerings each week

  2. Sign up for a subscription in which meals automatically come to you weekly, chef’s choice.

Working from my kitchen, I will create dishes catered to you and your family’s needs. I do all the planning, shopping and cooking. Your meals are prepped for pick up, or to be delivered, ready to heat and eat.

My Story

A foodie from birth, I have followed my love of quality, interesting food through my many careers and travels. I have been feeding friends, family and colleagues for years, and in 2024 decided to retire from teaching and focus on my passion for cooking for others.

Adventure Cheffing

Rafting?

Leave the cheffing/food packing to me!

I have been cheffing (or “food packing”) whitewater rafting trips for over 30 years, beginning as a young guide in California. Coordinating all the food and drink for 15 - 50 people on 2-5 day trips, gave me the experience to continue my cheffing for personal trips, adjusting menus for food allergies, likes and dislikes, and picky kids. I’ll pack your coolers for food and ice longevity, include full directions for each meal and hints for cooler management.

Life is too short to eat boring food….

Vacation Cheffing

Visiting Bend? Let me stock your fridge and/or prep meals for you and your fellow visitors in your vacation home or vacation rental. I will have your fridge stocked with snacks, meals and drinks ready when you get here. Take the worry out of an empty fridge, meal planning and finding the nearest grocery store - enjoy your vacation and let me do the cooking!
