About
Minneapolis/Saint Paul-based chef offering elevated, seasonal cooking with ease. With over a decade of professional culinary experience—including training at the Vail Academy of Culinary Arts and cooking for players on the Minnesota Wild—I specialize in flavorful, nourishing meals tailored to your preferences and lifestyle. Each week, I offer a rotating, chef-curated menu of ready-to-heat meals made with whole ingredients and seasonal inspiration. Clients typically select 2–6 meals per week, with delivery 1–3x weekly for freshness and convenience. This service is a great fit if you:
✔ Enjoy delicious, well-balanced meals without the effort
✔ Prefer to choose from a weekly menu 
✔ Appreciate clear communication and a consistent, professional experience In addition to ongoing weekly service, I also offer thoughtfully prepared one-time deliveries—ideal for new parents, recovery support, housewarmings, or a nourishing gift. I work with a limited number of clients to ensure high-quality, personalized service. 📩 Send a message to schedule your free consultation call and see if it’s a great fit! Sample Weekly Menu

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!
