Testimonials

My co-host and I hired Melissa to prepare lunch for our day retreat in Carpinteria. Everyone loved the food and we could feel the love and care Melissa put into the food. She selects her ingredients and her menus with great care and truly embodies the truth that feeding the stomach feeds the soul. We loved every morsel of the food and her enthusiasm and joy about her work.

Aparna KhanolkarAyurvedic Lifestyle Counselor and cookbook author

Working with Melissa has caused transformation in my life that I am very grateful for. Melissa is an organic food chef and loves to teach people about foods, what to buy and how to cook. Melissa spent  FOUR days in my home! We cleaned out the refrigerator and food pantries! My kitchen got major cleaning including replacing the dish drainer, moving furniture and tossing  out  lots of stuff that no longer serves me. We spent several hours in a health food store learning about food labels, what to buy and what is good for me to eat. Over the next few days I learned about how to cook some new foods. We became good friends during this process.

Melissa is dedicated, highly organized and has wonderful insights into the connection between health and the foods we eat. She helped me through the lengthy process of cleaning and organizing my house and kitchen before I put it on the market. Along the way, she demonstrated her skills at cooking healthy, organic meals that helped me stay on task and focused. She is educational and I highly recommend her!
