Always On Thyme: Winter Chicken, (or Spring or Summer or Fall)

Winter Chicken, (or Spring or Summer or Fall)

One-pot dinners are popular because they are simple to prepare AND budget-friendly. Are you thinking casseroles circa 1977? Campbell’s condensed soup, exit stage left. Combine fresh herbs, savory spices, fresh meat and vegetables in season and voila-you have a simple/affordable meal in as little as an hour.

What’s more personal than hiring a “personal chef”?

Everyone’s needs are different. You might love to cook, but don’t have the time. I can work with your favorite recipes to make sure your refrigerator’s stocked with healthy, flavorful meals even when you’re too busy to make them yourself. Maybe you’re stuck in a menu rut, and need a little inspiration. Or want to treat busy parents to the ultimate indulgence: someone else preparing the food and taking care of cleanup for a change. Want to host a small dinner party with a wine pairing? It’s my pleasure. (I partner with Michelle Lowry, a wine guru from Portland’s Fruition wine bar, whose special interest is the contrast between old and new world wines, especially wines from the Italian regions of Tuscany and Marche.)

My services include menu planning, sourcing seasonal ingredients, and preparing delicious, convenient, fully reheatable meals, made just the way you like them. No time to shop? No problem. I can pick up what’s necessary, prepare meals in advance at my place and deliver them, or cook them at yours. I’m happy to cater to whatever you need, no matter how small or large your request. My goal is make mealtime easy, seamless, and rewarding for you: from menu planning to grocery shopping to prep to service: it’s all possible.
