Choose your package and we'll take care of the rest!
Made from scratch, customized to your dietary preferences (gluten-free, diabetic, etc.), and consisting of high-quality ingredients, our meal packages allow you the convenience of enjoying a delicious meal anytime you want, without the time and hassle of preparation.
Our process
Step 1: I'll get a sense of your needs; for example, your likes, dislikes, allergies, dietary restrictions, or weight-loss goals to build a personalized profile.
Step 2: After I understand your needs, I'll prepare a menu/diet plan. I know life changes quickly, and I'm happy to make adjustments as your needs and preferences change.
Step 3: I'll gather high quality ingredients from select vendors and come to your home with all of the necessary cookware and tools to prepare your meals.
Step 4: Once all the meals are completed, I’ll package and label everything in appropriately sized containers.
The turn around time from order to delivery is usually the same week as the initial order. However, we are often able to accommodate a 1-2 day turn around time.
Ready to get started? I typically respond to order inquiries within 1 business day.

““Michael Schmidt from Umami Personal Chef put on a party for 30 at our home. The whole experience was first class from preparation to food quality, service, and clean up. Michael was outstanding and very personable. Our guests were most impressed, as were we. He knocked it out of the park. I would certainly plan on using him again, and would recommend him highly.”
