Turning you into the one who knows how to order at a restaurant, pair food and wine, and be the expert friends turn to, because you will have a wealth of knowledge in the kitchen and out when shopping for ingredients, just because you got some mentoring.
You're not a bad cook. You're a busy human.
Somewhere between the workday and the front door, dinner became the hardest decision of the day.
Sound familiar?
You stand in front of an open fridge at 6:40 p.m. and see nothing, even though it's full.
You're spending real money eating out, and you don't even feel good afterward.
You and your partner both want dinner. Neither of you wants to start it. So it turns into a thing.
The holidays are coming and you're already tired of thinking about them.
You have questions. You just don't have anybody to ask.
Grandma's stuffing. Your dad's chili. The cookies everyone fights over. Let's get them out of your head and onto the page, with pictures, by mid-December.
We gather your family favorites and the stories behind them
I've asked the best chefs the questions. Now I answer yours.
Before I was Chef Marian, I was a radio broadcaster for 15 years. I still walk into kitchens and ask chefs everything. You get the benefit.

Chef Marian's meals are creative, flavorful, and tailored to my tastes. In just two months, I lost 8 pounds by switching from takeout to her healthy, home-cooked meals. The best part? I'm eating healthier without sacrificing flavor. Highly recommend for anyone wanting nutritious, delicious meals!

Chef Marian is a master at conducting unbiased, informative interviews on cutting-edge health issues! As a Certified Nutritionist and panel member at the "Food for Thought" Event, I witnessed her skillfully guide a discussion on topics like canola oil, vitamin D, and fresh vs. dried herbs. She created a comfortable environment, encouraged audience participation, and kept the event professional, engaging, and focused on public concerns.

The ChefMarian.com blog is funny and informative, her filmed cooking shows are really fun, and if you ask, you'll hear great things about her food and wine tasting events that are held at restaurants all over San Diego with her group San Diego Foodies. She has traveled the world cooking and eating in kitchens from London to Sydney and pairing food and wine throughout France and Italy. And now she's brought all that knowledge back to us! Good going Chef Marian!

Who you'll be working with
Hi, I'm Chef Marian
For more than three decades, people have been calling me Chef Marian🥂. I started as a sous chef on a webinar show. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster doing interviews for 15 years. That gave me enough background to move from sous chef to the one actually explaining how the food got cooked. Within a couple of years, I became the host of that show.
I promise you one thing: if I don't have an answer, I will do the research and give you input from three experts so that you can make up your own mind. I just love doing research. I can't help myself.

Before you book
Questions I get asked
No. Everything happens on Zoom, so you can be anywhere. Your kitchen, my screen.
You carry your phone or laptop through the pantry, fridge and spice drawer. I tell you what to keep, what to toss and what to buy. It's faster than you think, and a lot more fun.
That depends on what you need. We'll figure it out together on your free 30-minute Zoom call. No pressure, no guilt trip.
You won't need to remember. I send you short videos with my answers after our conversations, so you can watch them again whenever you like.
Yes, if we start soon. Book your free call now and we'll map out the timeline on the spot.
