Everyone needs a personal chef.

This magical, marvelous food on our plate, this sustenance we absorb, has a story to tell. It has a journey. Joel Salatin

As a busy business owner with two young and growing boys, food was a constant stressor. MJ’s services have been a lifesaver! She handles all shopping and meal prep, saving us numerous hours each week. The meals are not only delicious, but the variety of foods she creates keeps things interesting. MJ truly turned our biggest challenge into one of the highlights of our day! MJ is a delight, and we love having her as an extended part of our family!

Our process.

  • 1. Menu planning.

    Chef MJ takes the hard work out of figuring out what's for dinner. She will get to know your preferences and curiosity around food. Whether for a one time event like a family reunion or a weekly meal prep day in your home, Chef MJ delivers a personal touch and provides a list of options for you to choose from and is always open to your suggestions, dietary restrictions and feedback.

  • 2. Grocery Shopping.

    Once the menu is established a grocery list is sent to each client. Additions can be made for other meals and the client will check the current pantry stock levels before the shopping day and delete as needed.

    All grocery costs are reimbursable by client and an initial grocery deposit is required. Charges are by the hour and will always depend on size and complexity of menu.

  • 3. Meal preparation.

    Quality of ingredients, care in preparation, food safety and flavor explosions are Chef Mj's primary focus. Keeping food safe and mouth watering for your family or your social gathering.

  • 4. Clean Up

    The cleanup and notes for the clients are also very important. Chef MJ makes keeping the kitchen cleaner than she found it a priority. For weekly clients MJ loves to leave personally written notes listing items for the week with reheating instructions and serving suggestions.

    MJs Feast is also an amazing event planner and caterer, so if it is a small intimate dinner party you are looking for or a New Year's Eve cocktail hour, Chef MJ has you covered.
