"We have been working with Abbey (The Freshest Chef around 😉) since inception. As her first customers, we watched her grow her passion into a thriving business through hard work, dedication, transparency, and a commitment to meeting the needs of each client she worked with. Clean eating and feeling good about what we put into our bodies has always been important to us but the time spent preparing food for our family was taking away from our time to spend as a family making memories. She has not only taken the hassle out of it for us but she has helped us introduce and peak our 2 year old son's interest in trying a variety of nutritious foods. Anyone with a toddler knows how hard that can be and surely appreciates her kids menu as much as we do!

We have also hosted several dinner parties with Abbey behind the stove, oven, and grill. Our guests also love her food and she is very flexible and accommodating to differing schedules and dietary restrictions. She is creative and adventurous, leaving us feeling excited for each and every meal we order. It truly is a culinary experience every time we sit down to eat together and we are so grateful to have gotten to know and work with her. Thank you for everything, Abbey!"

“OMG!! If you’re looking for a FRESH-FABULOUS-and FANTASTIC meal for two or a group, look no further than the specialized skills of the FRESH CHEF!! Our group of 6 were blown away by the professionalism: from concern for allergies, food prep, cooking skills, attention to detail, right down to the clean up!!! It’s worth mentioning, that despite terrific menu suggestions we were encouraged to suggest and personalize our options!! We will definitely be calling her again! What a fun and exceptional experience!!!”

Linda Bixby

“I highly recommend Fresh Chef! The Fresh Chef catered my wedding late July and did an amazing job! From the appetizers to the main course, everything was delicious and all guests were raving about the food. Appetizers included meatball skewers, bacon wrapped scallops, Italian sausage stuffed mushrooms, buffalo chicken wonton tacos, and bruschetta. Entrees were steak tips and grilled chicken, rice pilaf, vegetable medley, and a side salad. We also had lobster as part of the main course and Fresh Chef made certain to keep them warm and delectable! Fresh Chef also ensured vegan/vegetarian options were available; some meatball skewers and stuffed mushrooms modified, as well as a grilled vegetable pizza for an entree choice. The Fresh Chef did a wonderful job with setup, execution, and presentation! All the food came out perfect and we couldn't have had a better experience! Thank you so much!”

Natasha Stearns

“We have had the pleasure of enjoying Abbey's food for the past year when we would have friends come over for dinner parties. I can't even tell you how nice and relaxing the evening is when you can just be with your guests and the kids and not have to worry about the prep, cooking, and clean up. What attracted us most to Abbey is her approach to cooking with clean and nutritious ingredients. My husband and I enjoy good food, but also really clean ingredients. Abbey takes her work very seriously and totally understands and respects our requests.

I would highly recommend Abbey's delicious and health conscious meals, especially for busy mamas! “

The Hall Family

“Your thanksgiving meal was delicious. The favorite was a toss up between the red bliss mash, the carrots, the beets and the sweet potato mash…it was really wonderful. Also, my brother joined us last minute and he is also on the American heart association nutritional guidelines, so everything was really well aligned for everyone! We generally have a super heavy, butter and cream filled menu, this was refreshing and so delicious! I just wanted to say thank you!”

Amanda Gerby

“I would highly recommend the Fresh Chef MP. Abbey was amazing! We booked her to cook for a bachelorette party dinner - she was really great at communicating, accommodating dietary restrictions, she was professional and fun and the apps, dinner and dessert were all so delicious!!!”

Meghan Chase

“I was interested in having a personal Chef come to the house to cook for us on my husband's 50th birthday as a surprise. With Covid still being such an issue I wanted to do something low key but intimate for the two of us. It was a wonderful experience having a chef cooking in our kitchen. Abbey was such a pleasure to work with from my very first call and helpful with the menu selection knowing that I wanted something special and a 3 course meal. We chatted with her the whole time while she prepared each course. She didn't miss a beat and timed each course perfectly. The bruschetta and crab cakes were amazing, followed by filet mignon and scallops for my husband that were cooked perfectly and salmon and asparagus for myself. I decided on a lemon and blueberry 2 tiered cake for dessert that was divine! Abbey crystalized fresh lemon with huge blueberries on top of the cake. Everything she prepared was excellent! It was exactly what I was hoping for on this special night. We would not hesitate to hire Abbey again! Thank you for making our night so wonderful, relaxing and memorable!”

If you need a meal prep service with organic, real whole food- 10/10 recommend. You can't go wrong. Support small + local!”

“We have used The Fresh Chef Meal Planning for Catering, Holidays and Meal Planning. We have gone into their location personally too. So basically, we have been using them for everything. We have recommended them to many individuals and organizations. Abbey and Shauri are great!!!! They are very accommodating. Their food is absolutely delicious and healthy.

They catered our son's 50th birthday party. It was seamless from the planning stages to the actual party. They were wonderful to work with. We had appetizers, salad, the main course and enough cake for everyone and more. The guests loved everything. They could not stop raving about the food. They still do until this day, and the party was over 3 months ago. They truly made the party a success!

When also used them for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It gave us the time to spend with our family. Their food was soooooo good. We received a lot of compliments from our family. It was like having a home-cooked meal but even better.

When we use their meal planning, it saves us time when we don't have time to cook. It is fast, easy, very nutritious and tastes great. It is much better than what we could prepare in short notice. We also use it for our son, who needs gluten-free meals. It is helping him to be gluten-free especially when he is working late in the evenings. If you didn't know it, you would never be able to tell they are gluten free but they are!

We love their smoothies, bowls and toasts when we go directly into their location. The drinks and food are so refreshing. They keep you moving throughout the day. Abbey and Shauri are so friendly, kind and accommodating. We love to go into their place. They are so welcoming.

We cannot say enough good things about Abbey, Shauri and The Fresh Chef Meal Planning. We love them. They now feel like they are part of the family. They are No. 1 in our book. We love all that they have to offer. Try them out for yourselves, and you will see what we mean.”
