Work with me
A calm, useful kind of help in the kitchen.
I take on a small number of cooking and recipe projects each month — meal blueprints, private cooking sessions, and recipe development. Practical, warm, and built around how you actually live.
How I work
Most of the people I work with have tried other things before they reach out. Apps, meal kits, well-meaning suggestions from people who don't actually cook the way they cook. What we do together is different mostly because it's grounded — we look at your real kitchen, your actual schedule, and the food you and your people will actually eat.
I'm warm but direct. If something I suggest doesn't fit your life, I want to hear it — that's how we get to what does. I'm not here to make you cook like me. I'm here to help you cook more like the best version of yourself.
Services & starting ranges
Straightforward options.
Final pricing depends on scope, but the starting ranges below are honest. I send a flat written quote before any project begins.
Discovery call
Free20 minutes
A short, no-pressure call so we can both decide if working together makes sense. I'll ask about your kitchen, your week, and what you're hoping to change. You can ask me anything.
- Quick conversation about your goals
- Honest answer about whether I'm the right fit
- No paperwork, no commitment
Most people start here
Custom family meal blueprint
Starting at $250≈ 2-week project
A tailored two-week dinner plan built around your household — schedule, preferences, the equipment you actually own. You leave with a flexible blueprint you can rotate for months, not a rigid plan that breaks the first time soccer practice runs late.
- Intake questionnaire and one 45-minute kickoff call
- A custom 2-week dinner blueprint with shopping lists
- 4–6 recipe cards built for your kitchen
- One round of revisions after you've cooked from it
Private cooking session
Starting at $15075-minute virtual session
A live, hands-on cooking session over video. We pick a recipe or technique together beforehand, prep at the same time, and you ask questions as we go. Great for nailing a specific dish, or for a quiet hour of getting more confident in your kitchen.
- Pre-session message to choose the focus
- 75 minutes of live, hands-on cooking together
- Written recap with the recipe and any swaps we discussed
- Available solo or for a small group (up to 4 households)
Recipe development
Project quoteVaries by scope
For brands, magazines, cookbook authors, and small publications. I develop, test, and write recipes in a clear, warm voice with realistic ingredients. Photography by arrangement.
- Multiple rounds of in-kitchen testing
- Clean, edited recipe copy with headnotes
- Notes on substitutions, scaling, and make-ahead
- Optional photography or styling collaboration
A note: I'm a home cook and recipe developer, not a licensed nutrition or medical professional. If you're navigating a health condition, please work with your physician or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.
