MEAL PREPARATION AND PRIVATE CHEF SERVICES
Meal Preparation and Private Chef Services
First, let’s dispel a myth. Healthy food can taste great!
There is a common misconception that healthy foods are bland and unsatisfying, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is our strong believe that the foods we consume should taste good and not just be fuels for our brains and bodies, no matter how healthy they are.
Whether your goal is to feel better, boost your immunity, increase energy and vitality, look younger or simply lose some weight, you don’t have to suffer through restrictive diets feeling hungry and deprived. With our approach to healthy eating, you can enjoy satisfying comfort foods, gourmet dishes and rich decadent desserts, and still reap all the health benefits.
Better Vegan is offering Personal Chef Services focused on healthy seasonal menus that are made to accommodate a wide variety of dietary needs and lifestyles including Vegan, Plant-Based, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Soy Free, Fat Free, etc.
Here is how simple and easy it is to get started:
Initial Consultation
Schedule a free of charge initial consultation for personal chef services. Chef Julia will come to your home or connect with you online or over the phone and discuss your preferences including likes/dislikes, any food allergies/sensitivities, and the frequency of your personal chef services. Next, we will create a custom menu tailored to your taste, dietary requirements, health goals and moods and desires.
Shopping
Most of shopping will be done the day of meal preparation. This will ensure that all ingredients are fresh. Any dietary needs or lifestyle preferences will be accommodated (such as gluten free, vegan, organic, soy free, and sodium restrictions). You are responsible for the cost of groceries.
Meal Preparation
Preparation will be conducted at your home or in the chef's kitchen. Items will be clearly labeled and placed in your fridge with heating instructions or served right away, whichever way is preferred. Julia will clean as she goes and leave your kitchen as she found it.
Pricing
Instead of charging per dish, you will only be billed for Chef Julia’s time and the cost of groceries. This allows you to formulate a meal plan without minimums. The number of hours will vary due to the amount of meals and their complexity.
We also provide catering for dinner parties, small events, special occasion celebrations, etc.
Nutritional Consulting
In addition to meal preparation, we offer help, advice and coaching to people who are transitioning to plant-based diets and want to live healthier, better-quality lives.
We operate in the areas of North and South Kohala, Waimea and Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.
To learn more or to schedule your initial consultation, please, contact us.
What people are saying
"On a recent visit to the islands, I had a pleasure of being invited to a dinner party where Chef Julia was to cook a vegan fare. Being European I like a decent wine paired with meat-based protein; married to a vegetarian for many years I've tried vegetarian food on a number of occasions and I expected, once again, to be disappointed with my meal...instead I received culinary enlightenment. It was a road to Damascus experience... Chef Julia is an extraordinary cook, I did not miss meat because her cooking transcended cooking styles and cultural norms, she fused vegetables with brilliance. Tasting is believing!"

Consulting
With the rising number of vegans and people with various food sensitivities (like to gluten and sugar), many restaurants are adjusting their menus to accommodate the needs of this growing segment of their customers. However, creating healthy delicious dishes without any inflammatory ingredients can be challenging. Better Vegan offers consulting services to restaurants, hotels and resorts interested in adding vegan dishes to their menus or improving existing ones.
This may include recommendations of the specific dishes, recipe development, recipe evaluation and improvement, staff training and more. Please contact us for more details.
Cooking classes
Using clean quality ingredients is only one part of a successful recipe. Another very important part is technique. Knowing how to properly combine foods, cooking temperatures, timing and order can make or break your recipe. We are very excited to be able to share our expertise and knowledge to help people learn how to cook delicious vegan meals. You will learn how to add flavor, texture and substance to vegan dishes using only clean ingredients, what are the best substitutes to use for common non-vegan foods and how to veganize your favorite dishes, various cooking, fermentation and baking techniques, proper food combinations or how to prepare specific recipes.
Better Vegan offers individual one-on-one as well as group cooking classes on demand. All classes include delicious food tastings and printed copies of the recipes. Please contact us for more details.
