Boutique Meal Delivery & Catering

Boutique Meal Delivery
We will start with an intake call to get clear on your nutritional requirements for your meal delivery.
This will include:
Any dietary restrictions or preferences (i.e. gluten/dairy free, vegan/vegetarian, carnivore, paleo, food dislikes and aversions, etc.)
Health and/or fitness goals (i.e build muscle, lose weight, etc.)
Challenges you’d like to address (i.e. sometimes getting our kids to eat the good stuff can be an extreme sport; trouble with late night snacking, etc.)
Any specific nutritional directives from your health practitioner for yours or your family’s unique medical needs.
What you get each week:
3 main dishes
3 side dishes
1 healthy dessert or snack
Weekly service fee:
$375 for couples
$500 for families up to 4
$50 for each additional family member thereafter
The fee includes delivery within 15 miles of Dripping Springs. Anything outside of that radius is subject to a $50 flat delivery fee.
The fee does not include the cost of groceries. Those are billed separately, but average around $175-$275/week, depending on the size of your family and the ingredients themselves (if you’re vegetarian, your grocery bill will likely be on the lower end, for example).

A private chef plans, shops for, and prepares customized meals in your home or professional kitchen. Chef Lauren tailors each menu to your dietary preferences, lifestyle, and health goals—always using organic, locally sourced, and wholesome ingredients.
Q: Do you cook in my home or deliver the meals?
Both! Chef Lauren can prepare meals in your kitchen or deliver fully cooked, ready-to-serve dishes to your door—whichever best suits your schedule and needs.

Absolutely. All menus are thoughtfully designed around your preferences and sensitivities, with gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and other custom options available.
Q: How far in advance should I book a private chef?
For weekly meal prep, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance. For special events or ongoing private chef services, 3–4 weeks’ notice ensures your preferred dates are available.
