Daytime Vegan Personal Chef

Expect to come home after an exhausting day to delicious, healthy, organic vegan meals prepared by your very own personal chef. No menu planning, no cooking, no cleaning the kitchen, less grocery shopping. The benefits of a personal chef are endless.

With my service you will never be bored with dinner! Coconut Curry with Garlic & Cardamom, Stuffed Eggplant with Tomato & Kaffir Lime, Linguini with Smoked Portobello Cream, Sweet Potato & Cassava Soup with Tamarind, Citrus Maple Couscous Salad...this is a taste of what you could be eating each week. These meals are organic, healthy, and DELICIOUS!

Also expect to make a great impression by hiring one of the best vegan chefs in Atlanta. Allow me to cater your small event of up to 60 people, or create a beautiful vegan 3 course dining experience for an intimate dinner. I will design the perfect menu for any event.

My catering service is a drop off service, meaning I will bring all of the food in professional disposable food warmers, bring plates and utensils, set the food up beautifully buffet style, and provide serving utensils.

I am flexible, so please let me know if you require premium setup catering!

I do not provide wait staff, decorations, beverage service, etc...
