About
Elegant, Seasonal Family Dinners Delivered Weekly I’m a professionally trained private chef with a degree in Culinary Arts from the Vail Academy of Culinary Arts and over a decade of experience, from five-star kitchens and professional athletes to families who simply want dinner to feel beautiful and effortless again. I blend fine-dining technique with approachable, seasonal cooking, creating meals that are both healthy and satisfying. Each week, I bring restaurant-quality dishes to your home through my Dinner Is Served program — prepared fresh, elegantly packaged, and ready to enjoy. 🍽 Dinner Is Served My signature weekly meal service — 3 seasonal family style dinners each week, delivered once weekly in reusable glass containers.
Menus rotate with the season and are designed to be elegant yet effortless to reheat. Booked by the season (Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer) or begin with a one-week trial. 🌿 The Chef’s Table For those desiring a truly bespoke experience, The Chef’s Table offers fully customized weekly menus and elevated service tailored around your household’s exact needs and preferences. Limited availability, by application only. 🍴 One-Time Delivery A thoughtful gift or introduction to the chef-prepared experience.
Includes 3 seasonal dinners (12 servings total) — ideal for new parents, recovery support, or to make a loved one’s week a little easier. Each dish arrives clearly labeled with simple reheating instructions, so dinner is always ready in about 30 minutes or less — no stress, no prep, just beautifully prepared food designed to be enjoyed together. 📍 Serving select areas of Minneapolis and Saint Paul 🗓 Weekly delivery 🍽 After your inquiry, we’ll connect to ensure the service is the right fit and a complimentary consultation to answer any questions before your first delivery.

I am thrilled to have met Erica here on Thumbtack! She has been my weekly personal chef 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!
