About
As a chef, I have been creating customized meal plans for private clients in Los Angeles for two decades. I classically trained at Le Cordon Bleu in London, where I also worked for Marco Pierre White at his Michelin Star restaurant L’Escargot. On returning to Los Angeles, I saw a need for clean, quality foods. I turned then to personalized dining, incorporating individual tastes and dietary needs balanced against my clients longterm goals for a healthy and happy lifestyle. I create delicious and rewarding meals using only the freshest organic ingredients sourced from local farmers markets. All of my meals are individually planned, prepared, packaged and delivered directly to you. My goal is to take the challenge out of eating well on a busy schedule. Recognized several years running as a "Thumbtack Best” for Personal Chefs, I work diligently to provide my clients with the highest quality meals and service. My one on one approach with my clients fills the gap left by larger commercial food delivery services, bringing food and nutrition back to a personal customized experience. I enjoy working on a personal level with a small handful of clients to help them achieve their dietary goals.

I was just 4 months out of treatment from an aggressive breast cancer, and at 37 and single didn't have the best eating habits. Well, OK downright terrible. Recovering from chemo and radiation had left me with no energy to do anything, yet I knew the importance of my diet to avoid my high chances of reoccurance being triple negative. Since Carmi came into my life I literally can feel the difference in my energy level purely from all the great nutritious food she specifically prepared for me.I have more energy, I'm actually sleeping better, and I don't have stress out about food every day. She's gotten to know exactly what I do and don't like and custome makes each meal for me specifically. I've tried one if those big delivery companies and definitely did not get anything even close to like that !! I love the personal touch, and I'm never bored. I feel like I've moved back home and my mom is making me dinner every night !Shes knowledgable on how to fight diseases with nutrition and keeps that in mind when preparing my meals which is so great knowing not only am I getting a delicious meal but it's actually helping me not hurting me. I love the ease of no longer having to worry about what to eat! Having to go grocery shopping, or spend all that extra money on ordering out every night. Her food is delicious and stays fresh till the last meal. She somehow manages to make clean healthy food that isn't boring and bland. This woman could open a resturaunt except then she d be too busy and couldn't make my food so maybe just a small one ;). Truly don't know what I'd do without Carmi, she's become such an important addition to my life. So glad I found her !! Thanks Carmi!!!

Carmi has been great. She is very knowledgeable about food and has helped me learn new things about food. She is also a great listener and really cares about what meals she will be preparing for you. I do not know much about nutrition but i know I wasn't eating very healthy, so I needed someone like Carmi to help guide me with my food. I am very glad I found her, and grateful she has helped so much in such little time. Her food is great by the way. Very tasty and perfect portions!
