The Holistic Chef
ho·lis·tic (ho-lis'tik)
adj.
Emphasizing the importance of the whole
and the interdependence of its parts.
Do you or someone in your family have food allergies or sensitivities and are not sure of what to eat? Do you just want to start eating more healthy and nutritious meals at home but do not have time to cook.
Have a chef come to your home once a week and create delicious, whole-foods meals that are free of the things you may be sensitive to. The Holistic Chef will work with you to plan menus that are balanced as well as enticing. We do all the shopping, usually on the same day that the foods are cooked, so that everything is fresh. Preparation is done in your kitchen and then left for you to enjoy when you come home as well as enough for as many days as you choose.
SPECIAL MENU PLANNING
Food allergies and food-related diseases are becoming more prevalent today. Chances are you or someone you know is dealing with analyzing ingredient lists at the supermarket. We can work with you to create a menu that is free of the foods you cannot eat or are choosing to keep out of your diet. There are many wheat-free alternatives that can be used to make those baked goods you have been missing and natural sweeteners that are safe for diabetics. A sampling of menus we have created include: Raw, Vegan, Vegetarian, Macrobiotic, Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free and others.
