Menu planning
Grocery shopping
Execution and clean-up on a daily basis
Refrigeration/pantry organization and cleanliness

Flexibility is key: We can be in your kitchen on a daily basis, or provide weekly foods to take some of the pressure off cooking and unhealthiness of eating out.
Let Spectrum Culinary provide clean, healthy proteins; prep organic vegetables; and stock you with base soups that let you create and enhance them to your own personal taste. We also provide organic grains cooked and lightly seasoned. Combined with healthy snacks, these basic foods can help you achieve greater balance in your eating and lifestyle. More info >
