Making a Meal of It

Mama Meals Chef at Home

Prekid, you were a magician in the kitchen. These days, you’ve run out of tricks.

Mama Meals’s Kelly Foster will help you find your way back to culinary bliss — right in your own home.

The spatula-wielding wizard creates fresh, seasonal meals for all ages. After ascertaining your family’s culinary peculiarities, the Cordon Bleu-trained chef will craft a custom menu and arrive at your doorstep with the requisite ingredients.

As she cooks, she’ll demonstrate techniques, answer questions, and riff on leftover strategies. On the menu: halibut with citrus fennel salsa, grilled asparagus, or fire-roasted bell pepper antipasto.

Before departing, Foster labels and dates meals, confirms reheating instructions, and cleans your kitchen spotless.

Talk about a magic recipe.
