Testimonials

Chef Maya is amazing! I have so many dietary restrictions and as a travel advisor and yoga teacher, am very busy and gone a lot! She has crafted the PERFECT meal plans for me for my family vacations, including our trips to theme parks so we can have healthy, fresh, and easy-to-prepare foods. I don’t cook well but her plans perfectly lay it out. I have also had her cooked/prepared meals, and nothing compares to the flavors she delivers 😋

I hired Chef Maya to help my Mom with meal planning. She was very accommodating with diet requests and scheduling. My Mom loved not only the healthy and delicious meals, but also that Chef Maya was available to answer questions via email or text. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend!

Maya has been an amazing addition to our family. We are both busy, working parents and were spending a fortune on DoorDash or throwing away unused groceries. With Maya, we now have delicious healthy meals for the whole family that we eat for lunch and dinner. She will customize anything you ask and she makes the whole process so easy. Highly recommend!

Maya is awesome! She is professional and courteous, and cooks wonderful meals based on my family’s preferences. It’s so nice to have a nutritious, convenient meal ready to pop in the oven!

We are so thankful for Chef Maya! We utilized her services after bringing home our third baby and it was a game changer. With no extra work on our end, our fridge was stocked each week with healthy and nourishing meal options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything she made was delicious and more elevated than our typical home meals, but still approachable for our kids. We also saved money by not relying on take out. On top of it all, Chef Maya was a kind presence in our home. I’d recommend her and her five star food to anyone! Thank you Chef Maya!

I had Maya come cook for me after I had my baby and it was so helpful!! It was nice to have home cooked, healthy meals that I didn’t have to prepare. The food was absolutely delicious! P.S.- your homemade ranch was SO good!

I’ve had the pleasure of utilizing Chef Maya’s meal planning services. From using her services, I’ve actually learned how to cook for myself and my family of 5 who all have separate likes, dislikes, allergies, etc. And the meals are Amazing and family approved. Week after week, she has meticulously planned out a meal plan that fits the need of our unique family.. All the way down to the shopping list. I also enjoy that her plans are flexible and she’s able to adjust accordingly. I’ve hit her with everything from vegan requests, meat-hearty requests, holiday meals, weight-loss meals, quick oven meals, to a seasonal cookbook and she has seamlessly made it all happen. This is the perfect option for those who are busy and want to have meals that taste amazing, want to change up redundant family meals, and want meal time to be less chaotic and more organized. I highly recommend her services!

I would definitely recommend Maya! I asked her to help me meal plan for the week. She was very friendly and easy to talk to, quick to answer any questions I had about the recipes, and gave me great recipes that were easy and quick to make!

Maya is a great Chef. Her food is delicious and healthy. She meal prepped our family for a week and the whole family even the kids loved her flavorful meals. We recommend her to anyone looking for a Chef.

Wow! Working with Chef Maya is super simple. She is an organized, accommodating, wonderful chef and an all-around terrific person. It was such a treat to come home to delicious prepared dinners with heating and freezing instructions. I can’t thank Chef Maya enough for her help!

I wanted to try 5 Spice Chef meal plans but my husband wasn’t really on board with the idea. After just two meals, he was ready to make this a more regular occurrence. My vegetable hating child, and my picky child have loved every meal. We have not had to fight our kids to finish dinner at all! I highly recommend trying the meal planning. Everything was delicious!

Chef Maya is amazing, and a pleasure to work with. My family utilizes her meal planning services. She takes the time to learn about what our dietary restrictions are, what types of foods we like/dislike, what kinds goals we may have ( for example, vegetarian, trying to loose weight, diabetic, etc). She gives you so many options. There is something for everyone, even picky eaters. She asked me for feedback, she gave me great advice for how to make meals last. She even gave me suggestions for breakfast. She is awesome. I HIGHLY recommend using Chef Maya’s services, she is kind, dedicated, thorough, and a GREAT CHEF! Thank you for taking the time to create meals my family and I are excited to eat!

I want to thank Maya for the meals she prepared for my family this week. I had a major surgery and wanted to have meal planned so my husband and kids would not have to worry about dinner. Maya and I had a meeting over the phone to put together the meals for the week. She noted the types of food we like and came up with a nice menu. We didn’t change anything from what she suggested. We had Miso Salmon Curry, wings, tacos, chicken kabobs, lasagna and all side dishes. They were huge servings. We didn’t have to prepare separate food for our 3 kids. Our kids enjoyed all meals. I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends. And we would love to continue working with her. Thank you Maya!

Thank you 5 Spice Chef for one of my meal plans. It turned out absolutely delicious. Try her for your meal prepping needs and meal planning services. She is awesome!

Maya did a wonderful job of giving me a high protein intake meals for post surgery recoup. They tasted great and I was actually able to stretch out the meals further than planned by freezing some. They tasted awesome and I loved the stackability. Maya went over and above and I loved that the most when I really needed it!

Maya has been a huge help to my family. Her expertise has helped me greatly in navigating the complicated situation of living with food allergies. Her recipes and advice have allowed me to introduce more variety and spice to our lives.

Maya is absolutely amazingly. She writes us a customized family meal plan that includes extra servings so you only have to cook 3 or 4 days a week! That is totally key for busy families. Maya is also very well versed in food allergies and dietary preferences. Our family is dairy free, gluten free, with a mainly plant based diet and she was able to deliver super yummy recipes that even my pickiest of eaters would enjoy!

I would highly recommend! Maya’s meal prep was perfect for my husband and I, the food was absolutely delicious.

Great meal plan that fits my family needs! It also included grocery list, recipes, and nutritional value. One less thing to keep in mind when prepping meals. 100% recommend!

Maya is an incredible chef. We’ve been so lucky to have her cook for our family. She allows us to have stress free weeks and focus more on our family because we aren’t worried about our daily meals. I love supporting a fellow working mom and she is just so dedicated! Highly recommend her services!

Thanks to everyone who recommended 5 Spice Chef. It was a long 90 days on her Wait-list but we got off two weeks ago and wowza! She makes the menu, sends you the grocery list to see if you have any of it on hand, orders the groceries, picks them up, shows up at your house to cook then clean and leaves like a fairy in the night with meals in your fridge and instructions on how to reheat 😅. If it’s in the budget, it’s life changing 😍

She cooks everything in your home and makes them so that they reheat well in the oven or stove top in just a few minutes. You get a weekly menu. She listens to your likes and dislikes and makes modifications as necessary. Total lifesaver. 100% recommend!
