For the organic vegan transitioning to raw, it’s easy to feel drained thinking about having to root around for sustenance during a busy work week.

Making great raw food that addresses all of your cravings and leaves you feeling nurtured can be time consuming, and wouldn’t it be nice to have a personal chef to do all of that for you?

That comes across to some as a luxury – but if you add up the cost of groceries and dining out, and assign a monetary value to the time you spend shopping for food, cooking it, cleaning up, and driving to restaurants and waiting for service, what is the cost and value of your weekly menu?

What does a week of customized, organic, raw, vegan chef services look like?  The 4/2 package below offers two servings each of four main dishes with sides and snacks – a total of eight, decadent meals created in your kitchen for $320.
