What makes SRP special?

Meal prep packages booked with SRP require NO recurring commitment! You can book with me for the weeks that you need your fridge stocked with delicious, nutritious meals and skip the weeks that you've got the cooking covered. I’m a professionally trained Health Supportive Chef, with a degree from The Institute of Culinary Education and NYC Food and Safety Certification. All of the ingredients I use for all of my offerings are fresh and vibrant. They are almost always organic, seasonal, and locally procured. The meals I serve my clients for meal prep or an intimate gathering are 100% scratch-made, including all dressings & sauces, on the day of service. They are of the highest quality and made with the same intention that I use to feed my own family. I use organic, first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil in all of my cooking (that calls for evoo, which is most) and prioritize local farms & green markets- such as GrowNYC, Crossroads Farm, Youngs Farm, Queens County Farm- when sourcing ingredients. High quality ingredients are expensive but I am committed to quality, taste, and supporting local above all else.

What if I have a food allergy or dietary restriction?

I’m professionally trained in Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Pescatarian, Macrobiotic, Ayurvedic, and Plant-Based cooking. I honor all allergies and dietary restrictions within my power. For meal prep orders, simply indicate what you would like to adjust on the checkout order form and if I can accommodate your request I will. If for any reason I’m unable to accommodate your request, I will email you to confirm a substitution meal. Common allergens included in a meal will always be listed on each individual package. For all other offerings, our initial planning conversations will cover dietary restrictions and allergies.

How many servings are included in each meal prep meal?

Each meal contains 4 portions based on standardized serving sizes. Because one persons appetite may be larger than another’s, and it is important that you honor your own appetite, a standard portion of food may not always be enough. This is why I like to say each meal contains approximately 4 portions.

How long will my meal prep last and how will I know how to best reheat each meal?

All meals will last 5 days in the refrigerator. I advise you to eat meals containing fish first. Baked goods will often last longer than a week, especially when stored in the refrigerator. Reheating instructions are included on each individual package.

What can I expect on the day of my meal prep service?

I will arrive at your home on the day/time that you indicated on the order form when you booked your meal prep package with all of the ingredients and tools needed to create your meals. I will be in your home for approximately 3-5 hours, depending on the meal prep package size. During this time I will prep, cook, package, and label all of your meals. After which, your kitchen will be cleaned and returned to exactly how it was before my arrival. Meals are packaged in certified compostable containers. Rarely, certain items will be packaged in plastic containers, which you should keep! If you prefer to invest in reusable glass or plastic containers, I would be happy to pack your meals in those instead. A full, on-site kitchen with a working stove, oven, and refrigerator is required for all meal prep services. Please ensure your kitchen and sink are clean and ready to use before my arrival. Table service is not included.

What if I want to book a meal prep package on a day that I don't see listed on the order form?

If you would like to book a meal prep package with me on a day/time that is not listed as available, please email samanthareneepaz@gmail.com to coordinate an alternate day/time and I will do my best to accommodate.
