Why Ingredient-Restricted Clients Choose a Personal Chef
A long "do not eat" list should not make every grocery run a panic. I carry the sourcing, menu planning, and careful prep details for you.
Comforting AIP-Style Meals
I build menus around broths, roots like sweet potato and taro, leafy greens, quality proteins and bright sauces for varied, satisfying meals.
Cross-Contact Precautions
Careful process discipline — separated tools, surfaces and steps when needed — helps reduce cross-contact risk during in-home cooking.
The Hard Part, Handled
I take on the rare-ingredient sourcing and complicated cooking so an ingredient-restricted routine feels more comfortable and sustainable.

AIP Personal Chef FAQ
Common questions about AIP-style and ingredient-restricted meal prep in Houston and The Woodlands.
How much does an AIP-style personal chef cost in Houston?
Pricing starts at $600 per visit and runs up to $900 depending on how strict and complex your menu is — for example whether you need full or partial elimination, rare-ingredient sourcing and careful cross-contact precautions. Groceries are always billed at cost with no markup. The rate covers menu planning, sourcing of specialty ingredients, fresh cooking in your kitchen, portioned storage with reheating instructions, and complete cleanup.
Which foods can you avoid for AIP-style menus?
Menus can avoid gluten, dairy, refined sugar, eggs, nightshades (tomato, peppers, eggplant, potato), and stricter AIP-style ingredients such as nuts, seeds and legumes. I adapt to your personal list and any practitioner guidance you choose to share.
How do you reduce cross-contact risk?
I use a careful process with separated tools, surfaces and preparation steps when needed. Because every home kitchen is different, we review allergy severity and practical limits during consultation before service begins.
What ingredient restrictions do you cook around?
I cook around detailed ingredient lists, including gluten-free, dairy-free, refined-sugar-free, egg-free, nightshade-free, grain-free, nut-free, seed-free and legume-free preferences.
Which Houston-area neighborhoods do you serve?
I serve Houston (River Oaks, Memorial, West University, Galleria, The Heights), The Woodlands, Spring, Katy and Cypress, plus surrounding communities.
Can AIP-style food actually taste good?
Yes. I turn strict ingredient preferences into comforting, varied, restaurant-level meals so the routine does not feel like a punishment.
How quickly can I start?
Because I take on a limited number of clients, there is normally a short wait, so I do not start the same week. The earliest start is usually the following week after your consultation, and depending on the current queue, your location and how complex your menu is, it can be two weeks or more. We set your start date together on the consultation call.
