Hats off to Lee! We are so lucky to have found her. For the past few months Lee has helped my husband and me structure a more healthy lifestyle. She does all our meal planning and cooking. Her food is healthy and creative and yummy. If she makes a dish I'm not particularly fond of (rarely) she is not offended and makes a note of it. Just a few of our favorites are Lee's homemade chocolate macaroons, mini quiches, and lamb kabobs. Of course, there are her stews, and the Mediterranean dishes..all great! Lee is also a personal trainer and helps me with the exercises preferred by my gym (Fitness Evolved does Z-Health) Thank you Lee, Sherri Hutcheson and Dr. Jeff Hutcheson

Over the many years of knowing Lee I've had the pleasure of watching her pursue her passion - of delivering happiness and health to everyone around her - both as a friend and client. As a friend, she is the kindest, most intuitive and most generous person anyone could ask for but I'm sure that's not why you're reading this review... As a client, Lee has helped me get in the best shape of my life; she has cooked some of the most delicious breakfasts, snacks and dinners I've ever had; taught me so much about nutrition and fostering better food and exercise habits; and generally been a role model of balance and health. She is approachable, flexible, ambitious, talented and warm and will undoubtedly make a difference (and at least a positive impression) in your life. Give her a shout!

Lee's food is clean, simple and delicious and, bst yet, it is creative and interesting. Eating 'healthy' can get boring quickly but it never felt 'healthy' with Lee, just delicious. Lee knows food really well and is able to combine flavor profiles so tastes and textures are always exciting. She also knows a lot about natural food properties and ways to promote your health using holistic methods and food. She has high standards of where her food comes from and you can taste the difference. I took a few cook cooking lessons from Lee as well so I could use her techniques in my cooking at home. I have become a much more independent chef since meeting Lee and the quality of the food I make has improved greatly. She is spunky, passionate and excited about what she does. Her energy is infectious.

Lee has been helping us with cooking and our two young sons (1,3) for quite a while now and we are super happy. She is responsible, creative, accurate and has a great positive energy. Her cooking is excellent and well suited for my wife who is vegetarian but makes me (a meat person) very happy as well.Both of our kids love her and can't wait to be with her.Highly recommended.

Hired on Thumbtack

I can't speak highly enough of Lee. She's amazing! I recently hired her as a professional chef for a small dinner get together. Lee made the whole process as easy as possible. She sent a menu in advance for me to pick through dinner options and then purchased all the ingredients before coming over. Her food is delicious and she was a delight to interact with. So happy to have been introduced to her through Thumbtack.
