ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Candice has been working with individuals and families, supporting them through food, since 2012. Her passion is helping her clients feel well-fed and cared for, while taking stress off of their plates. After graduating from Bauman College of Holistic Nutrition in Berkeley, California, she began personal cheffing for a wide range of diet directions.
A former picky eater, who didn’t eat a salad until in her 20’s, she was shocked to learn that eating nutrient dense, real foods could be delicious. Many years on the West Coast changed everything, proving that produce can be incredibly delicious and that anyone can learn to cook :)
In addition to all things food and nutrition, she runs The Self Employed Collective in Chicago and Bridges & Space in Logan Square.
ABOUT THE FOOD WE COOK
The meals are almost entirely organic, and we prioritize using seasonal ingredients when possible. Using higher quality ingredients not only makes the foods taste better, but it offers greater nutrient density as well. Everything is made from scratch, including dressings, stocks and our super nourishing bone broth. You won’t have to cook a crumb of what we provide you, and we can accommodate all types of diet directions and ways of eating.
We balance produce, protein and healthy fats to make sure each meal is balanced and satiating. Our focus is on nutrient dense, whole real foods, and getting you 20 types of produce each week. All meals can be made gluten and dairy free, and many items are soy, nut and fish/shellfish free as well.
We operate in an incredibly low waste kitchen by utilizing reusable glass containers, composting, and reducing waste and packaging by cooking from scratch. *If you’re curious about composting yourself, I highly recommend The Urban Canopy here in Chicago. They’re amazing and take care of everything for you!!
We offer customized personal chef services, weekly meal delivery, and one on one support for all diet directions.
