I don't cook in bulk.

Everything is made fresh to order.

I customize the meal plans and menus to the clients specifications, sourcing the freshest in season, local ingredients available.

I am here to simplify your life and strive to prepare dishes to awaken and satisfy all your senses and culinary cravings.

I grew up in a Peruvian family, who gathered around the kitchen, where I began my journey and Love affair with cooking, even before I could reach the kitchen counter.

I have a constant hunger for learning and creating daily.

If you have food allergies, no problem! I can absolutely craft a meal plan to avoid those foods that your body reacts negatively to, while still making each meal stand out as both satisfying and healthy!

I consider myself, open minded, open hearted, creative and adventurous.

Virginia has been a life saver! I had a baby a month ago and have two other kids. I needed some fresh and delicious home cooked meals delivered during my maternity time. We do the menu planning together and she sends suggestions based on our needs. Currently we have vegetarian family in town and she's been making delicious dishes for the whole family.
