“We have been using Elia now for a couple of months. Her food is delicious. She is fast & cleans up after herself. We are both working parents with three little kids at home. The relief I have coming home to a refrigerator full of home cooked delicious food is priceless! I also have a lot of dietary restrictions and she is so helpful in finding the products that will work for me. She’s a lifesaver!”
Tamara Robertson
“Not only is Elia a great chef, she is a great juggler too. Between gluten allergies, pescatarianism & general pickiness, Elia brings us all to the table every night with delicious food. Thank you Elia!”
Amy Bloom
“We are all eating healthier and not ordering in! It’s so nice to be able to come home from a long day of work and not have to start cooking. Warming up dinner and sitting down with the family to have a meal together is easy and stress free!”
Tamar S.
“We started with Elia when I went back to work after my first baby. I didn't want cooking to cut into my limited evenings and weekends with my daughter, but home-cooked meals matter to me. Having Elia come once a week solved both problems. She makes enough for dinners and lunches for me and my husband, and thoughtfully adapts recipes to be baby-friendly so our 7-month-old eats what we eat. The food is delicious and healthy, Elia is communicative and easy to plan with, and she always leaves the kitchen spotless. I used to cycle through the same handful of recipes on repeat, and she's brought a whole new variety of meals into our rotation. More than the time, it's lifted a huge mental load and given me back real presence with my family.”

The Process
-
After you complete the online inquiry form, you'll schedule a complimentary Chef’s Chat at a time that works best for you. During this call, I’ll get to know you and your family’s needs, food preferences, dietary requirements, likes and dislikes. We’ll also cover key details like payment options, service dates, a review of your kitchen appliances and utensils, and food storage containers.
-
Following our Chef’s Chat, you’ll receive a recap email outlining everything we discussed along with your first invoice. Once payment is made, your preferred service dates are confirmed, and you’re officially booked for my In-Home Meal Prep sessions.
-
The week before each scheduled session, is when the menu planning process begins.
I work closely with you to ensure this process is as seamless as possible, providing you with suggestions and personalized recommendations to suit your tastes and needs. My goal is to make the process easy and enjoyable; while ensuring you receive the best possible service.
I will send you some menu options and recipes. You can either:
Share any specific meal requests for the week
Choose your meals from the menu options I provide you
Or make it super easy for yourself, and let me select your meals for you.
Once your meals are finalized, I’ll send you the final menu for the week.
-
Two days before our session, I’ll send you a shopping list. You’ll be required to place the grocery order for delivery either the night before or the morning of our session.
In our Chef's Chat, I'll provide you with my recommendations for online grocery delivery providers.
-
On the service day, I’ll arrive at your home to prepare your meals. I’ll spend 2-3 hours cooking, ensuring everything is made to perfection. Your meals will be packaged in family-style containers, ready for you to enjoy throughout the week. After cooking, I’ll take care of all the cleanup—leaving your kitchen spotless so you don’t have to lift a finger!

When I started Feed Your Sister in 2010, I didn’t know that working in food was going to be in my future, I was a preschool teacher! My blog was born from everyone asking about my mom’s butternut soup recipe that I made at my annual Chanukah party.
Years later, I have created over 60 recipes, continue to feed my sister & clients and prepare memorable dishes. I went from preschool teacher to food blogger and now personal chef. I wake up every morning excited to cook for and feed my clients just like I did my sister.
