Client Testimonials

“I had such a fantastic experience working with Elia. We spent three hours together prepping a variety of meals for my family. We cooked a ton of delicious dishes together—everything turned out amazing, and my kids absolutely loved the food. I also really appreciated that we made enough to freeze some meals for later, which has already made my week so much easier. Elia made the whole experience stress-free and fun, and I learned some great tips along the way too. I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone looking for help with meal prep!”

Ashley M., Essex Fells, NJ

"I had very little confidence in the kitchen. Elia listened to all my dietary restrictions and came up with delicious recipes for us to make together. At our sessions, she showed me how to use different tools, how to prepare a few things at a time, and how to mix and match what we made. Now I love finding new recipes and meal prepping each week. It saves me so much time and eases the mental burden of what to eat every day."

Donna B., Greenpoint, BK

“Elia was an absolute dream in the kitchen! I’m still amazed at how much we accomplished in just 3 hours. We made six different recipes, all of which have been delicious, easy to reheat, and exactly what I needed to make the month easier.

Elia gave me a super organized and clear ingredient list, which made prep stress-free from the start. She was incredibly fast, efficient, and somehow managed to keep everything calm, tidy, and fun the entire time. She also helped pack & organize everything perfectly–my OCD tendencies were beyond grateful!

Elia has a great, relaxed energy that makes cooking feel enjoyable rather than overwhelming. Elia truly exceeded my expectations! I can’t recommend her enough.”

Meal prepping is a major time-saver, but knowing where to start can be overwhelming. That’s why I created Meal Prep Express—to help busy individuals and families eliminate the guesswork involved in planning, prepping, and cooking for the week.

We’ll plan your meals together, and if you have recipes you’ve been eager to try, great! If not, no worries—I’ll help you discover delicious options. We will have a Chef’s Chat before our session, and this is where you can tell me all about the meals you’ve been craving, the recipes you’re excited to learn to cook, your favorite restaurant that has this amazing ropa vieja, veggie frittata, or entreé salad you’re dying to recreate, what your likes and dislikes are, and any food allergies and restrictions. Then with this information, I’ll create a tailored menu with meal options for you to choose from—it's that simple!

We'll work side by side as a team, and I’ll guide you through each step, helping you sharpen your skills and boost your confidence. Think of it as a private cooking class with real meal prep results!

By the end of our session, your fridge or freezer will be stocked with ready-to-go meals, relieving the stress of weeknight cooking. It’s an investment in peace of mind and efficiency!
