About
Every week, a set of fresh meals built around your household delivered to your door, ready when you are.
I’ve spent ten years cooking for Twin Cities families, individuals, and athletes. I trained at the Vail Academy of Culinary Arts, and after years in five-star restaurants and hotels, found my real passion in bringing that level of cooking to the home.
I cook with whole ingredients, organic, no refined sugars or seed oils. Whether it’s dinners for a busy family, meals that keep an athlete fueled, or a good week of food for one, it all gets the same care.
If eating well at home sounds like something you’d love to hand off, tell me about your household and how you eat. Let’s build something that fits.

I am thrilled to have met Erica here on Thumbtack! She has been my weekly personalchef for the last four years. She has been very communicative and flexible with my changing requests as my tastes change, and has introduced me to many delicious foods I would not have known or cooked for myself. The convenience of having tasty, healthy meals dropped off at your home each week is such a gift of self-love! I cannot recommend her enough!

I had a great experience, it was fun, I learned lots of new cooking tips, the food was delicious, it was something different and unique that I would advise anyone (with or without experience) to try! Both the process and the final product is something you don’t want to miss out on!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer two main services: Dinner is Served is a weekly recurring meal delivery — three dinners, four servings each, delivered every Tuesday. This is priced as a weekly subscription; contact me for current rates. Chef's Table is a fully custom private chef experience priced hourly, with ingredients billed separately at cost.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a short call to make sure it's a good fit — I want to understand your household, your schedule, and what you're looking for. From there, I send over a service agreement and we set a start date. For Dinner is Served, meals are delivered every Tuesday. I keep my client roster intentionally small so I can give each household real attention.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I trained at the Vail Academy of Culinary Arts and spent years cooking in five-star hotels in Colorado before returning to Minnesota. I've cooked for families, individuals, and professional athletes across the Twin Cities.
