My Green Chef

One of the best ways to stay well fed in Atlanta is to hire a personal chef. It's an essential service for you, your family and anyone that eats in your home. By hiring a personal chef you can count on nutritious meals waiting for you when you're hungry and don't feel like cooking.

My specialty is providing health-supportive meals to individuals who are looking to:

  • Increase energy
  • Recover from surgery or recent illness
  • Lose weight
  • Increase an overall sense of wellness with the help of good food

My services are flexible for each individual client, but in general this is how I work.

Step 1-After an initial conversation about what your needs are, I send you a food preference questionnaire and if possible, arrange for a kitchen consultation where I come to your home so that we can meet in person and I can take a look at what equipment is available and how best to work in your space.

Step 2-We plan a menu and schedule a day for drop off. I leave behind a menu and reheating instructions for all the dishes I've prepared.


What's my style of cooking?

I'm a big fan of the whole foods mentality which is that food should be natural, local, seasonal and fresh. I use organic produce as much as possible and use fruit and vegetables when they are at their peak in quality. I steer away from packaged and processed foods, preferring to make things from scratch. I can cook many varieties of dishes and like to include lots of vegetables, whole grains, beans, and seasonal fruits. I love to cook with various meats, poultry and fish and always buy from the best sources. I think food should be colorful, delicious, satisfying and made with joy.

Where do I shop?

My favorite places to shop are Whole Foods, Your Dekalb Farmers Market and local organic farms.
