The Story

When Anita reached out about creating meals for her parents, the goal was more than simply preparing dinner.

Her parents needed meals thoughtfully adapted to their individual needs and preferences. Ted, in particular, had specific dietary considerations that required careful ingredient selection and consistency, while his wife had her own preferences and limitations.

Rather than preparing completely separate meals for each of them, I designed a weekly menu that created variety within their shared dietary parameters.

Five dinners. Ten individual portions. Different proteins, familiar ingredients, varied preparations, and portions adjusted to the individual.
