FAQ

Here are some frequently asked questions...

Are the containers re-usable?

Yes! My containers are re-usable. Please return the previous containers to me when you receive your next orders. Or even better, if you happen to see me between deliveries it would be great if you think of giving them back to me then.

Should I reheat the meals in the containers?

I wouldn't. There is more and more information coming out about the dangers of plastics to our health . I suggest thawing the meals partially or completely and then dumping them into a dish to reheat them.

Do you make meals for people with allergies?

Yes. No promises but I will make an effort to have an alternative if possible. For example, I often make things with peanuts or peanut butter but can substitute with something else or just leave it out completely. Please let me know about all allergies!
Disclaimer: obviously my kitchen does come in contact with peanuts and other major allergens. While I take all necessary precautions, if this concerns you then my meals may not be for you.

And food sensitivities, same thing?

Yes, I will do my best to alter a dish or baked good if possible. Those of you who are sensitive to wheat, I can replace regular flour with spelt. Spelt is a really great substitution that gives a nice, light crumb in baked goods. I often use it even though I don't have a sensitivity to wheat.

What the heck is seitan?

Seitan is a meat substitute made from gluten. Its often called “wheat meat” because its surprisingly similar to the look and texture of meat when cooked. I make my seitan by hand, however it can be bought in health food stores. I encourage you to give it a try on your own!

And tempeh? I've never heard of that either.

Tempeh is a fermented food made by the controlled fermentation of cooked soybeans with a Rhizopus mold (tempeh starter). It originated in Indonesia and is rapidly becoming popular all over the world as people look for ways to replace meat in their diets.

What does vegan mean?

A vegan meal means no animal products were used when making the meal. No animal products means no meat, chicken, fish, eggs or dairy (such as cheese, milk or yogurt). Give vegan meals a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Can I get nutritional information for your meals?

Sure. I can provide you with the approximate calories, protein, fat and fiber in each of my meals, by request.
