Postpartum Culinary Services
In-home service or chef delivered
Welcoming a new baby is joyful and exhausting, often at the same time. Let us take care of the cooking while you rest, heal, and get to know your little one. And we’re here for the rest of the family, too.
We prepare lactation bites, snacks, entrées, and sides, fresh or ready to freeze. We can cook in your home or deliver right to your door.
Looking for a baby shower gift? A postpartum gift certificate is the one new parents never forget.

We build every board and table with seasonal, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and our Mediterranean tables are made to welcome any diet.
A simple charcuterie board for 8 guests starts at $285. Larger grazing tables are designed around your event and guest count and quoted on request. Tell us what you’re celebrating and we’ll take it from there.
