Fridge to table in 5 minutes! Yes, our meals are fully cooked and come with reheating and plating instructions so that you can plate up a meal that looks and tastes like it came straight from a high-end restaurant. Occasionally there will be a meal that reheats better in the oven than the microwave, which of course extends the preparation time a bit. We will always mention this in the instructions and leave you with the option for a quick microwave reheating or a slightly better, but longer, oven method.

The Washington State Health Department advises tossing all prepared food after 4 days. That said, our meals are designed to stay fresh, nutritionally sounds and delicious for 6 days. This allows you to enjoy your meals throughout the week until you return for your next weekly box.

We have put a lot of time and effort into crafting recipes that hold well over time. Our recipes use far less oil, no animal protein and no dairy. We package components separately in airtight containers, ensuring that they are sealed for freshness. Additionally, sauces, dressings and garnishes are always left on the side so that the meals taste and feel freshly prepared each time you combine them. We also invested in top of the line commercial equipment that helps us to lock in and preserve the nutritional value and quality of our meals. We extensively use a large steam oven to gently cook our grains and vegetable. A high temp, high fan convection oven allows us to quickly crisp items such as tofu and potatoes using far less oil and overall cooking time than traditional methods. Perhaps most significant, is the addition of our Blast Chiller, which allows us to take steaming hot vegetable out of our ovens and bring them down do a fully chilled temperature in a matter of minutes. This rapid cooling not only helps to extend the shelf life, it also helps to retain the vital nutrients in each ingredient.

We travel the globe. From Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Jamaican, Italian, Creole, you name it! We believe in eating the rainbow and exploring the amazing flavors that so many cultures have brought us. Sometimes our meals are a vegan take an a traditional dish and sometimes they are something that we crafted entirely from a thought. You will always find our Chef’s Menus to be well balanced in nutrition, flavor profile and textures.

Our menus change every week! You normally will not see the same entree fro 3-4 months on the Chef’s Menu. We do run some of our client favorites more frequently as alternate entrees should you choose them. As we strive to create nutritionally dense meals, we look to the season to craft our menus based on what is coming in locally and in our greater region.

We are a 100% from scratch kitchen. Always have been. Always will be. Our passion is real food, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The only ingredients that you will find in our pantry that could be considered processed are items like chili paste, tamari, worstechire, mustard and such. We are firm believers in whole-foods and will never sacrifice quality for convenience.

Yes! We use all organic produce and roughly 80% of our pantry items are organic. Some ingredients are not possible to source organically, or sometimes are a lesser quality than their conventional counterpart. We source the majority of our produce form Organically Grown, which is a highly respected supplier of local organic produce. We are also proud members of the Community Food Coop and purchase some specialty items or smaller quantities there.

Yes! We offer a 100% Gluten Free Chef's Menu available for Thursday pickups.

No, we do not offer a soy free option. We utilize tofu, tempeh and soy curls in some of our recipes and strive to keep their appearance to one dish a week, utilizing nuts, seeds and legumes as alternative protein sources. It may not always be possible to crate a weekly box completely free of soy as we use very small amounts of tamari in several recipes that otherwise do not contain soy. If you can handle small amounts of soy, you should always be able to put together a relatively soy-free menu. Additionally, if soy is used as the protein source of the entree, it is usually left on the side, so if you were sharing the meal with others, you could still partake, sans soy.

Due to the plant-forward nature and unique cooking methods that we utilize, our foods are much lower in oil than what you would traditionally find in a restaurant or food service company. Rather than deep frying or pan frying, we use a high powered convection oven with a very small a mount of oil to achieve the same, and often better, results. We use 100% organic olive oil for the majority of our cooking, avocado oil for high-temp cooking, organic coconut oil for baking and sesame oil for seasoning. Many of our meals are naturally low in added oils. That said, we do utilize naturally occurring fats such as coconut milk, avocados, seeds and nuts.

Unfortunately, we are not able to honor personalized menu requests within our business model. If you are interested in our meals but feel like they wouldn’t meet your dietary restrictions, I encourage you to reach out directly and share your thoughts with us as we are always eager for feedback and willing to work towards a more inclusive model as our business grows.

We have the ability to produce a full nutritional panel built into our operating system. It is currently in the works as there is a LOT of data to upload and we are looking forward to being able to share the information for each meal as soon as we can get it completed.
