We’re committed to supporting your health goals through The New Modern Mediterranean Diet. Our menus can accommodate therapeutic dietary needs, including modifications to sodium, sugar, fat, fiber, and gluten content. If you have specific dietary requirements, please contact us directly so we can discuss how to best assist you.

When meals are prepared in a shared kitchen facility that is regularly inspected by the health department, we cook alongside other chefs and use common allergens, including peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, soybeans, wheat, eggs, milk, shellfish, and fish. Because of this shared environment, please be aware that cross-contact with these ingredients is possible, even if they are not listed in your specific meal.

If you have any food allergies, please go ahead and submit your meal order. Our chef will then email you a Food Allergy Information Form, which must be completed before your order can be confirmed and put into production. This step is necessary for us to evaluate any safety risks. Thank you.

All our fresh meals are designed to support a balanced daily calorie goal based on a five-meal-a-day plan. Choose the size that works best for you.

• Lunch: ~1 lb

🅛 LARGE (2500 cal/day)

All of our meals are fully cooked and ready to be reheated to 165 degrees F (or enjoyed cold for salads). For the best flavor and texture, we recommend you follow these simple steps.

Meals & Sides

1. Prepare: We recommend transferring your meal to a microwave-safe plate, arranging the food for a beautiful, restaurant-style presentation.

2. Cover & Vent: Place a lightly damp paper towel over the food to retain moisture. If using the provided container, lift one side of the lid to vent and prevent steam buildup.

3. Heat: Warm your meal on high power in 2-minute increments. For larger portions, stir or flip the food halfway through heating.

4. Rest: Let the food sit for 1 minute after heating, leaving the paper towel on top to ensure even heat distribution.

• Quick Tip: Sides may only need 2 minutes, while a full dinner with multiple components could take up to 4 minutes, especially for large-sized meals.

• Caution: The plate and container may be hot. Use oven mitts or other personal protection when handling.

Soups

• Stovetop: For best results, pour the soup into a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

• Microwave: Pour the soup into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1-minute increments, stirring in between.

Bread

• Toaster Oven: Toast to your preference.

• Oven: Reheat at 350°F for 3-5 minutes.

Your peace of mind is our top priority. We go above and beyond to ensure every meal is prepared to the highest safety standards.

Ingredient Sourcing

We are committed to using only the highest-quality ingredients. We source our fresh, frozen, and minimally processed dry pantry items daily from reputable local partners such as Walmart, Aldi, Costco, and Sprouts, as well as from local produce stores. All of our suppliers are chosen for their high standards and hold current official certifications.

Safety Protocols

We follow a strict set of protocols to ensure the quality and safety of your food:

• We cook all meals in your home or in a facility that is inspected by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants, depending on the service you choose.

• We cook all of our meals to the required minimum safe internal temperatures. For more information, you can view the official chart from the USDA here: https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/safe-minimum-internal-temperatures

• We follow the 4 Steps to Food Safety to prevent the growth of bacteria: https://www.foodsafety.gov/keep-food-safe/4-steps-to-food-safety

• We stay updated on all product recalls daily.

• We transport your food in an insulated container with ice packs, ensuring it remains at 40°F or lower during transit.

• We maintain a record of the ingredients used for your meals for a minimum of one year.

Storage & Refrigeration

For optimal freshness, all meals must be kept refrigerated at or below the "danger zone" of 40°F (4°C). Chef Giuseppe suggests setting your refrigerator to 37°F (3°C) for best results.

Each meal is labeled with its name and a "use by" date, ensuring a shelf life of up to 7 days when properly refrigerated.

Convenient & Eco-Friendly Packaging

Your meals are delivered in high-quality, custom-designed containers created for your convenience and food safety. They are spill-proof, leak-resistant, and crack-resistant, ensuring your food arrives exactly as it should. Made from a sturdy, BPA-free material, our transparent containers are microwave-safe, freezer-friendly, and dishwasher-safe.

Our Commitment to Recycling

We are committed to recycling and sustainability. We will pick up your rinsed containers for free when we deliver your next order. We then wash them in the dishwasher at high temperatures above 150 degrees F to meet NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) standards to sanitize and prepare them for reuse. This commitment not only helps the environment but also provides you with free, high-quality containers.
