Services Offered

Private dinner experiences, meal prep, and small event catering services. You can read more about our style of cooking in the about page. Northern CA (Bay Area and Sacramento) based, open to travel.

Meal prep

My Meal Prep services are the most popular offering, we provide a 3 days worth of fresh and nutritious food prepared in your home. I offer a variety of options to fit your diet and any health/fitness goals (including: vegan/vegetarian, pescatarian, dairy-free, Whole 30, etc). Clients use this service on a short term basis to accomplish health and fitness goals, postpartum and post surgery support, and to avoid eating out excessively. I offer short term contracts for clients after first service.

Event catering

My dining experiences are fun, inclusive, and creative. This service includes custom menu preparation and full dinner service. I not only cook, but help add meaning to your special event. Clients typically use this service for special events such as date nights, Sunday dinner, anniversaries, special dinner parties, and holidays.

THE PROCESS

  • Contact Page

    Let me know what your food needs are and the details you have. Details to include: date(s), location, number of guests, allergens, food options, budget.

    I need a minimum of 72 hours to prepare for most events, quicker turnarounds will require a higher service fee. Shorter turnarounds depend on availability.

  • During this meeting, I’ll learn more about what you’re looking for in terms of menu options and budget, we’ll also discuss other important event logistics and details.

    This time is important to ensure event success. I spend time developing a menu that speaks to your event and taste buds.

    Following this meeting I’ll send a recap with event logistics, menu options, dietary restrictions, estimate, etc.

  • A nonrefundable deposit of food cost and travel fee is required to ensure date/start of work; no event will be confirmed without a deposit.

    My pricing model is a service fee + food cost + transportation. I aim to keep the overall cost approachable, however each engagement requires something different, so your cost may change due to complexity of event.

    Read below for more info on pricing.

  • Depending on the type of engagement, time needed for me to set up and cook on - site will be discussed.

    I encourage you to reach out with any questions or updates prior to your event or engagement. Please keep in mind that some changes may result in extra fees.

  • I’ll come on site and cook or prepare for your cooking class.

    After your event, I will reset your kitchen by wiping down countertops and stove, sweep, and wash any used dishes.

    You leave great reviews on Google and Yelp, refer your friends, then book The Homegrown Soul for your next event.

PRICING

My pricing model is simple for most engagements, I charge a service fee, food cost, and oftentimes transportation. Factors that impact your price include: menu selections, service style, rentals, or last minute changes.

I offer packages for meal prep services, because many clients are looking for short term support.
