Meal Mate DC

Our kitchen coaching fall cycle is off to a great start! No two sessions are the same because the program is designed in collaboration with the coachee to meet them exactly where they are and move towards their unique kitchen goals. Here’s what we’ve worked on so far this cycle:

🍳tasting and adjusting our flavoring agents to create dishes that balance salt, sweet, acid, bitter, and pungent
🍳understanding “recipes” as ratios rather than a list of ingredients to memorize
🍳batch preparing proteins —>prep once, eat twice (or more!)
🍳modular meal planning (protein, veg, starch, flavor profile)
🍳science of salt (aside from adding flavor, salt tenderizes, concentrates flavors, extracts moisture)

Interested in investing in yourself by building up your inner chef? Dm us for early info on our next winter cycle! (Virtual track available!)

Book your private dinner. Additional chef singing services may be available upon request but probably not. 🎤

We can’t get the fireworks to start but we can give you explosions in your mouth. 🎇

Did you know that “biang biang” noodles are named after the slapping noise that comes as you stretch it? Guess how many strokes this difficult Chinese character has?
