By offering easy-to-heat, healthy, and delicious meals, I hope to give you back valuable time in your day. With childhood memories centered around the kitchen, I've always had a passion for food - from my early days baking with my Easy Bake Oven to eventually catering weddings and private events. Having traveled extensively throughout Europe, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, and North America, I love incorporating my experiences into the dishes I create.
With training in various dietary needs, such as diabetes, heart health, low cholesterol, low fat, and vegetarian/vegan, I aim to make mealtime stress-free for families with picky eaters, as I have a toddler myself. Although I primarily focus on using local, organic, and sustainable ingredients, I adapt my menus to match my clients' dietary and budgetary needs.
Given that "Melissa" means honeybee, I chose the name Sweet Melissa's for my business. Not only am I hardworking like a bee, but I also enjoy sharing the fruits of my labor with loved ones and the community.

To celebrate my parent's anniversary, I enlisted Melissa's services to create a private dinner for six. Our initial correspondence was effortless as Melissa was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She presented us with a menu tailored to the season and we provided a few adjustments to satisfy our preferences.
On the day of the event, Melissa arrived promptly and promptly began preparing our meal. Every course surpassed our expectations and were absolutely delicious.
After dinner, Melissa finished with dessert before departing. I returned to the kitchen expecting to tidy up, but was amazed to find everything polished and dishes already drying in the rack.
I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa for her exceptional service and outstanding culinary talents.

Our family relied on Sweet Melissa's delicious and healthy meals for nearly two years, and we quickly found her service to be essential. Her cooking was not only aesthetically pleasing, but also diverse and wholesome. If you crave nutritious, home-cooked dishes that are as delectable as those at a restaurant, Melissa is the perfect chef for you. Unfortunately, we were saddened to learn of her relocation and would have loved to continue working with her.
Melissa's demeanor also made her a delight to work with. She was accommodating, relaxed, and attentive. During my pregnancy, Melissa adjusted her menu to suit my dietary needs. After giving birth, her meals were a source of nourishment during my postpartum recovery. As my child transitioned to solid foods, Melissa even adapted her recipes to make them suitable for babies. Thanks to her, our little one now eats confidently and happily. Melissa's food nourished our entire family for years, and we are tremendously grateful for that.

More than a decade ago, I crossed paths with Melissa during my time as a nanny for a San Francisco-based family. Being prone to kitchen-related stress, I felt immense relief when Melissa joined the household and introduced simple, accurate guidelines and labeling, all while remaining highly responsive. Best of all, her culinary creations are truly out of this world!
Friendly, benevolent and immensely skilled in her craft, Melissa is a cherished friend who has lent me invaluable culinary expertise over the years. As such, I wholeheartedly recommend Sweet Melissa’s services to anyone seeking top-notch catering.
