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.
- 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.
That's what a chef in your back pocket fixes.
Three steps. No apron required.
Free 30-minute call
We meet on Zoom, you tell me where you're stuck, and we decide together if working one on one makes sense. We'll talk about pricing here too.
Clean out your kitchen
On Zoom, we go shelf by shelf. Keep, toss, replace. You walk away with a shopping list for the ingredients you'll actually use.
A Chef in Your Back Pocket
Schedule Zoom conversations whenever you need them. Dinner ruts, holiday menus, food and wine. Wherever you're stuck is where we go.
The gift nobody else will think to give.
Create your family recipe book with me
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 December 5th.
- We gather your family favorites and the stories behind them
- I help you write and organize every recipe
- Your book is ready to share before the holidays
One on One
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.
Here's what people say about working with Chef Marian:
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.
