My featured service is monthly meal delivery for growing families.
I am a Bay Area native, with a degree in Human Development and Nutrition from UC Davis, along with my Culinary Arts Degree from the California Culinary Academy, San Francisco. I grew up with most of my best memories taking place in the kitchen. From learning to bake with my Easy Bake Oven, to eventually catering weddings and private parties, my passion has always been food. I’ve traveled all over Europe, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, and North America and enjoy sharing my travel experiences through the food I prepare.
I am trained in cooking for a variety of dietary needs including, but not limited to, diabetic, heart healthy, low cholesterol, low fat, vegetarian and kosher. I believe in cooking with local, organic, and sustainable ingredients whenever possible, however I tailor my menus to the clients dietary and monetary requirements.
Recently, I have become trained in postpartum care. I am offering services to new mothers and growing families. I will help take care of the nutritional needs of your family, when it is most needed.

What my clients think:
"As always, the food was amazing!! Salmon cakes were incredible as were the polenta cakes! Great variety, freshest ingredients, presentation is beautiful and Melissa is the quintessential perfect "thinks of everything" chef .
I would recommend anything and everything she prepares and offers, you won't be disappointed!

“Melissa is truly talented. She is a phenomenal chef and impressed me with the first bite of a three course meal. We would use her again in a heartbeat.
She helped me pull off a surprise Birthday/Valentine's dinner for my fiancé. She had all the tools and ingredients for a meal at a 5-star restaurant but it was at our home. She served us, cooked for us, and cleaned up the entire kitchen for us. The kitchen was cleaner after the meal then it was when she started cooking! She was sweet and kind hearted. I cannot wait to have her over for a dinner party and share her talents with others!”

“I found Melissa on Yelp and she was able to come to our house yesterday and cook a three course meal for 7 people in honor of my husband's 40th birthday. It was a delight to have her in our home - she took care of all of the cooking, serving, and cleaning up afterward (!!!) which allowed us to just relax and enjoy our guests. Other pluses were that Melissa was great with my toddler son, and our two cats didn't bother her at all - in fact, she said she loved cats!
Melissa is extremely nice and professional, and her food was terrific. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Melissa!”

“Melissa cooked a three course meal for my fiancé's birthday in June. She was fabulous!

She comes into your home prepared with food and cooking equipment. Cooks a delicious meal with cooking tips and recipes (ask her about the Bacon Popcorn!) She even cleans up afterward! You can't ask for anything better.
We will definitely use her services in the future!”
