Special Services

Complete Grocery Shopping: Send me your grocery list before your cooking day and I'll pick up all the items you need. You won't need a trip to the store at all! Kitchen Assistant: Your own personal teacher! Do you like to cook, but feel frustrated by the time it takes and confused by all the nutrition issues? If you want to prepare your own meals, but just need a helping hand, give me a call! We'll discuss your needs and I'll show you how to find recipes, plan your meals using fresh, in-season ingredients, how to prepare a grocery list, how to shop, and how to prepare your meals in the most efficient way. This service can be tailored to cover your specific needs. Assisted Dinner Parties: You want to make an impression, but where do you find the time? Or, you may just want to relax and enjoy your friends! Let me do all the prep work for you. We'll discuss and agree on a menu and I'll do all the shopping. I'll bring everything to your house and prepare the food, set the table using your special dishes, and arrange the decor. I'll leave your kitchen clean and your house ready for the party. All you have to do is heat and plate the food and enjoy the compliments!
Gift Certificates: Give a truly unique gift! Your recipient will receive an elegant certificate indicating the package of your choice. The recipient needs only to call to set up the initial consultation. Consider a Meals by Marlene gift certificate for birthdays, anniversaries, new home, new baby, post-operative recovery, or a very special Thank You! Certificates are also great for raffle prizes or office party door prizes!
