"Stork Express" Chef Service for New Moms (and Dads!)
Is your best friend, spouse, significant other – or you! – having a baby? Forget about all the onesies, blankets and smart toys she’ll get at her baby shower anyway, and give her the gift that all new parents really need – the gift of time!
During those first few crazy, foggy, wonderful weeks, what new moms (and dads) want more than anything is a freezer full of nutritious, comforting, delicious and homemade meals, especially if they’ve been conceived and cooked by someone else. Cooking Journeys’ “Stork Express” Delivery Service for New Moms is the ultimate baby shower gift for the mommies and daddies in your life.
Cordon Bleu-trained Chef Luisa Rios will prepare several days’ or several weeks’ worth of home-cooked meals, all vacuum-packed and fast-frozen to ensure the highest level of quality and freshness. Then, we’ll hand-deliver the meals right to the new mom’s door, at a day and time that works for her busy schedule.
Just choose from our seasonal menu of healthy, delicious entrées (see below), or have Daddy do the choosing for you. Then Contact Us to place your order. We can either get in touch with the mom-to-be directly to make all the arrangements, or we can send you a personalized Gift Certificate in time for the baby shower. Then, whenever mom’s ready, we can deliver the order right to her freezer door.
If Mom and Dad have any dietary concerns, sensitivities or allergies, or if they prefer a Vegan, Gluten-free or other specialty diet, we can also customize a menu to their unique needs and tastes. Just browse our Services & Pricing page to find another Personal Chef Service that will help make this special time in their lives, just a little bit less stressful.
Congratulations – and bon appetit!
