1:1 Cooking Support, Meal Planning & In-Home Prep
Helping clients turn nutrition plans into real meals that work for their home, culture, and everyday life.
This service is for clients who’ve already been given a nutrition plan—whether through a registered dietitian, a coach, or a medical provider—and need help making it happen in real life.
As a trained chef, I don’t prescribe meal plans or offer nutrition advice. What I do is translate existing guidance into recipes, prep strategies, and real food that fits the client’s preferences, lifestyle, and family. With consent, I collaborate directly with the client’s provider to ensure everything I create stays aligned with their goals.
What This Includes:
A collaborative intake session to understand the client’s plan (macro-based, calorie-targeted, allergy-focused, or structured by a care team)
Review of the client’s food preferences, cultural meals, daily routine, and kitchen setup
A fully customized weekly, biweekly, or monthly meal plan with recipes, prep notes, and optional macro info
Guidance on adapting existing family meals to meet individual goals
Clear instructions with weighed ingredients, kitchen scale guidance, and batch prep tips
Optional in-home prep or instructional cooking session, depending on client needs
Ongoing collaboration with the client’s RD, nutritionist, or coach to ensure consistency and clarity
Real-Life Example Scenarios:
A client is following a 1200-calorie plan and wants to keep cooking their family’s usual meals but doesn’t know how to adjust portions or ingredients. I help rework their favorites to match the structure—without needing separate meals for everyone.
A postpartum client working with a coach receives a biweekly plan built from Latin-inspired foods. I prep the meals in-home every other week, using ingredients they’re already familiar with.
A newly diagnosed client is overwhelmed by their plan and doesn’t know where to start. I teach them how to use their kitchen tools, weigh ingredients, batch prep, and create flexible meals they actually enjoy.
