🛒 Let’s Talk About Pricing — Real Food, Real Costs

We believe in feeding hearts and souls, not just stomachs. But let’s keep it real — the cost of food has skyrocketed.

What used to be a $50 grocery run now barely covers the basics. From eggs to oil, everything has gone up — and quality ingredients? Even more so.

As your personal chef and caterer, I’m committed to using fresh, high-quality ingredients — not shortcuts, not substitutes. That means your menu is crafted with care, flavor, and today’s market prices in mind.

We don’t believe in hidden fees or surprise costs — just transparent pricing that reflects:

• Rising ingredient costs
• Prep and cooking time
• Travel and labor
• Love, legacy, and unforgettable flavor 

 Feeding 10 or 100? We’ll make it work — deliciously, honestly, and with heart. 

Because you deserve a meal that feels like home, even if the world’s prices don’t.
