    Lisa Stroh cooked for my husband and I for nearly a year until we moved out of Oakland. He and I were both trying to lose weight that was put on due to "busy all the time syndrome!" We would go out to eat constantly, and it seemed nearly impossible to stick to something like a low carb diet. Eventually we decided to try a modified version of the Primal diet which Lisa helped us with. I don't think we could ever have lost the weight AND enjoyed our meals so much without her help. The fact that we loved what we ate...that we looked forward to our dinners at home...made it easier than I could have imagined. We had weekly deliveries most week and were very very happy with the service. My husband and I recommend Lisa and Ambrosia to anyone who is looking for healthy creative cuisine. My husband got a great job in Chicago, but the one downside (beside the weather): we will really miss Lisa's food!!!!

    Lisa has cooked for us since the beginning of this year, and her services have made such a huge difference in our lives! My husband and I work in the city and commute, and we were tired of getting home late every night and having to throw something together, or spending a fortune on eating out. Lisa prepares our dinners and lunches, to our specific preferences, ingredients, and dietary needs, and delivers them to our door every week -- and it costs less than we were spending on restaurants!

    We are very particular about the quality of our ingredients, and follow a paleo/primal diet -- no grains, legumes, or vegetable oils, and low sugar/carbs. This has never been a problem for Lisa and she's helped us develop a standard menu that we go back to with our favorites, but is always creative and willing to try out new ideas.

    Everyone at the office is jealous when they see (and smell) our food!

    It seemed like a luxury but has really allowed us to enjoy our limited spare time while eating chef-crafted food every day. Highly recommended!

    Chef Lisa is not only my friend, but also my wonderful cousin. So I know she has been passionate about her business and has worked very hard to be the very best she can be in her field, she is a terrific chef who will not only meet your specific needs, but exceed your expectations...take it from me, I'm one of her pickiest eaters!

    I highly recommend Chef Lisa - her services are a god-send. Not only does she plan the menu, do the grocery shopping, and make the food - she delivers it, and there is no mess in my kitchen to clean up!!!! With my husband and I both running our own offices, and 4 kids at home; I wouldn't have been able to put good meals on the table without her help. Thanks for all you do, Chef Lisa!!!

    I met Lisa five years back, and she cooked for me for about six months. Before that, I'd been going to Whole Foods and getting to-go meals, or imaging I'd have time to cook healthy, and then getting stuck last minute scrambling. Lisa's food was so yummy-- and I was so surprised I lost weight, that I was hooked. To have healthy food with this much variety, and all the different kinds of things she can makes.. and she even accommodated my wheat and sugar allergies. I loved her food so much, I ended up becoming her business partner, if for no other reason than to ensure I'd always be able to have her cook for me. Even years later, I still look forward to eating her cooking, which I enjoy a million times more knowing how healthy it is-- And that my partner and kids and I have food ready when I get home. (Even my teens love her food!)

    My husband and I had such a hard time eating healthfully with both of us working all day-- it was so easy to make bad choices that were quick. We are so glad we found Chef Lisa-- her food is not only amazing--delicious-- and ready to heat when we get home!, but she also works with all our food restrictions-- my allergies, and Richard's doctor's recommendations. I've lost 10 pounds and Richard's lost 15, in the past 10 weeks, and we both look forward to having dinner together now-- it isn't the hassle it used to be. I used to think healthy meant boring- but we have Thai dishes, Southwestern, Indian meals-- and the vegetable dishes have made me love veggies again! thank you Lisa!!!!

Question and answer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. We primarily focus on weekly dinner delivery for clients who prefer healthy, organic meals. The majority want meals to conform to specific dietary plans (Paleo, South Beach, grain-free, low-carb, dairy-free, vegetarian, etc) or they simply want to eat healthier or lose weight. The other two most common jobs we do are romantic gourmet dinners for two either delivered or served at your home; and smaller buffet-style dinner parties (6 to 20 people) or cocktail parties (number varies). All meals are custom prepared for each client.
