Plant-Based Menu Creation
Menu
Free ½ hour consultation: I want to make sure that my services fit your needs before either of us commit money or time. We can get together over the phone or on Zoom to chat about your needs and how I may be able to help you.
Menu Consultation: I will analyze the menu, tour the kitchen, storage, refrigeration, freezer, and line space. I will also discuss with you ingredients on hand, style of cooking and cooking equipment, staff skills, and any requirements for allergens.
Recipe Creation: I can create either a versatile plant-based ingredient that can be used in multiple dishes, single recipe that works with your existing menu like a soup or appetizer, and/or a full plate that would stand alone on your menu such as Tofu Benedict with white-bean and sage sausage and wilted garlic spinach.
Reviews and suggestions for Commercial Plant-Based products: What would be the best meat alternative for your menu? What about all the commercial plant-based cheeses on the market? I have tested the vast majority of what is available for food service. I will advise you on which would work best for specific uses.

Staff training: I create recipes and procedures that are fairly mistake proof. I create spice mixes and dry mixes that can be premixed for consistency and easy measuring. Based on your comfort, I will create recipes using easy to find ingredients that are cost effective and easy to store and source. I will work with your head chef, owner, or GM to create easy to follow, step-by-step instructions that are clear, efficient, and consistent.
Quality check and Control: I can offer my services after the product has launched as either a special or menu item to confirm the consistency of the recipe over time and also across various locations.
Media Coaching: I will give suggestions on wording and promotion of plant-based products and share pertinent information for marketing purposes.
Pricing: During our free consultation, I will go over my pricing structure. Some of my pricing will be hourly and some prices are based on the actual project.
Free ½ hour consultation: I want to make sure that my services fit your needs before either of us commit money or time. We can get together over the phone or on Zoom to chat about your needs and how I may be able to help you.
Zoom classes for individuals and groups: I will be offering various cooking classes for either general recipes for groups or special recipes for individuals.
Recipe Creation: Do you have a family member who recently went vegan? Or are you getting ready for a big family event and want to bring something plant-based? I can veganize some of your favorite family recipes! I will work with you on allergy issues and comfort level with varied ingredients.

Cooking Instructions: I will create recipes that work with your kitchen set up, kitchen equipment, and skill level. I may recommend certain ingredients or equipment based on what you want to make, ie. an InstaPot, or nutritional yeast.
Pricing: Pricing will be discussed during the consultation, but in general, I charge by the hour, by the class, or by the recipe.
