Our in-home meal-preparation service can include:

• Personalized weekly menu planning

• Meal suggestions based on your preferences and lifestyle

• Grocery shopping and ingredient sourcing

• Cooking and preparation in your home kitchen

Chef Matt will work with you to create meals based on your household size, food preferences, dietary considerations, and weekly needs.

Pricing is determined by the number and type of meals requested, household size, ingredients, dietary requirements, service frequency, and event location. An invoice will be provided for each scheduled service. Clients may choose to complete their own grocery shopping using an approved ingredient list. When the client provides all required groceries before the scheduled service, the total service cost may be reduced accordingly. A travel fee may apply to homes located more than 45 minutes from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Any applicable travel fee will be disclosed before the service is confirmed. Dietary restrictions and food allergies must be disclosed before menu planning begins. We will review each request and confirm what can reasonably and safely be accommodated.
