Casa London: If someone comes to you looking for a meal plan, or to start ordering food from you what do you ask them? What is your process?
Stefanie: I do designated menus every week, but if someone wanted to customize the menu I have no problem with that. I’d ask them what their goals are eating-wise, if they are trying to lose weight or they just want their
meals cooked for them. I need
to know if they want carbs, if
they want potatoes, and what
their aversions and allergies
are; gluten free is a big one, I
get a lot of requests for gluten
free food, so I try to
accommodate that as much as
possible. I can’t do it 100%
because I cook in a kitchen
with gluten, so if they are
severely celiac I’m not the
person for them. I always try
to be accommodating if
someone wants something
specific, but at the moment
I’m not taking individual
orders, I’m only taking orders
off of the weekly menus.
Casa London: Do you write up a menu every week and send it out? How do you let people see what is on offer?
Stefanie: Every Sunday I write up a new menu for the following week, every week it is different to keep up the variety. I post it on my Facebook page, I post it on my website, and then I also send it out to my email subscribers from my website.
Casa London: Can you be hired out to cater dinner parties or events?
Stefanie: Sure I’ve done a Christmas dinner for a few families, I’m totally up for it. During the holidays I’ll post a holiday menu if you want your Christmas dinner prepared for you. But I will do any event, if you are having friends over and you don’t want to cook, you just want to sit down and eat, I can do that!
Casa London: Have you found that there is a particular demographic of people that you are catering to at the moment?
Stefanie: There has been a lot of people who are into their fitness, and not just through Michelle, people who are in training and want to eat healthily, and I have had a lot of single men. A lot of my friends who are single guys order from because if not they would just order pizza. Believe it or not they are my best customers, they order the most and give me the most compliments, so I can’t complain. Some of them work crazy hours, so it’s just easier for them.
I’ve had a couple of students, but I’m actually surprised I haven’t had more, I’ve been posting on University pages. I’ve trying to get out to more vegan events, and trying to get the name out there. I can basically cater to anybody, it doesn’t just have to be people who want to lose weight, just anyone who wants good food.
