Weekly Meal Service

Imagine an entire week's worth of food effortlessly available to you.

Getting to know you
01

I get to know you

I want to make sure what I cook for you meets your needs. For our initial meeting, we discuss your dietary preferences and restrictions. We talk about your favorite restaurant meal. We discuss your health goals and style. This helps me provide you with the best menus tailored to your preferences.

You choose your meals
02

You choose your meals

Based on your dietary considerations and what's available in season, I design a selection of menu items for you to choose from and give you an opportunity to provide feedback. We set an ingredient budget for your menu.

I cook for you

Once we set a time for me to prepare the meals in the comfort of your kitchen, I handle all the planning and prep lists to ensure your cook day goes smoothly. I travel with most of my own tools and cleanup supplies and prepare your meals ready to eat or provide you with easy-to-mix meal components complete with labels and preparation instructions.

Who Am I?

I've been a professional chef for 15 years — maybe even more if you count the rest of my life where I've been obsessed with food and baking. Food is how I communicate with people. Period.

I'm a farmer, too!

My culinary preference is to pack in as many healthful ingredients into every meal. I have always believed in the power of plants, but had little knowledge of how they were grown — so I grabbed a shovel, dug right into the soil in front of my house, and tossed in some seeds.

Observing how plants grow and how building healthy soil can support them (and us) has deepened my connection with food in substantial ways, and I want to share this passion with you. The forest that surrounds my field is my teacher. I never spray pesticides, never till the soil, grow my own mulch, and make most of my own fertilizers. Everything in the field gets recycled in some way.

I now grow over 100 crops during our short mountain season, specializing in unique salad greens. I also network with local farms. You can be sure I have not only the needs of your family in mind but also the planet — with a focus on regenerative agriculture and minimizing food waste.

More About Stephanie

Stephanie's background

From Hawaii to Appalachia

I was born and raised in Hawaii and spent most of my adult life in Seattle, Washington. Now I'm glad to call my little slice of Appalachia home.

The bakery

My Former Bakery

My life's passion has always been food and cooking, so it was no surprise I opened a bakery. I sold it to one of my best employees and she continues to thrive.

Life on the road

Life on the Road

After I sold the bakery (and everything else I owned), my husband and I hit the road in an Airstream, crossing the country five times and collecting stories along the way on a travel blog at noplacenowhere.com.

The farm

The Farm

In 2018, we purchased an old farmhouse in Barnardsville, NC, just north of Asheville. I felt the desire to close the loop between the food we eat and where it comes from. Ever since, we've been enjoying our own vegetables and farm-fresh eggs daily.
