Here’s What One Customer Had to Say About Their Consultation:
You were a huge help. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated you insight and resources. It likely saved his life. The main one was corn. That’s his deadly allergy. Corn was in the most unsuspecting places and if you hadn’t told me about it we would have been so lost. His doctor didn’t even know what you do. Thank you again.

Often times, this is a result from poor, or lack of, effective and memorable staff training. Let her assist you in making your establishment an option for those with allergies.

This service starts with a thorough consultation where The Allergy Chef will review your diagnosis, and long term goals.

After the consultation, The Allergy Chef will put together the meal plan spreadsheet for you, and the recipes for all of your dinners on the plan. This is a bespoke plan made just for you, not a generic plan for anyone to follow.
The Allergy Chef has taken on some of the toughest projects, including chronic and severe GERD, children with EOE, and people with over 30 food allergies.
