TESTIMONIALS
“The main ingredient that makes Hilary’s divinely delicious and nourishing cooking so unique, is Hilary herself. Besides the insanely delicious food she creates, we personally have loved having her on our retreats...she is such a warming, delightful, and nurturing presence and adds so much to the group dynamic. You can feel the high level of care she puts into each meal, leaving everyone re-energized and well taken care of. We are so thankful for Hilary!”

“Meeting Hilary and having her provide meals for my postpartum was a true saving grace. It took the worry away from needing to prepare meals, and I knew I was receiving the most essential nutrients for healing and breastfeeding. My recovery from birth was very quick and I know Hilary’s food played a major part in that.
Hilary customizes the meals to your liking and checks in to ensure dietary restrictions and special needs are noted. I had low iron throughout my pregnancy, and my doctor recommended I continue to include foods high in iron during postpartum. Hilary made certain to include iron rich foods to help with the deficiency. I really appreciated this personal touch. Do yourself a favor and have Hilary and her fantastic foods be a part of your postpartum experience.”
