Years ago, I was crushed to learn that the “baby carrots” I’d been snacking on since I was a child were simply bits of large carrots cut into a small shape. These can’t compare to the superior taste and visual appeal of *actual* baby carrots, pictured here. #babycarrots #realthing #rootvegetables #eatyourveggies #realfood #jerf #mealdelivery #hudsonvalleyfood

I started Portable Chef in large part because I love to cook. Funny, because I don’t do much of it any more – our cooks are extremely skilled, and I have the mechanics of a business to run. But every once in while, I step out from behind my desk – I did that today, to make a birthday cake for a client – I’m reminded how much fun cooking can be, and what an amazing kitchen we’re fortunate enough to have at Portable Chef headquarters.#smallbusiness #chocolatecake #customdiningdelivered

You gonna resist a smiling cookie? Admittedly it’s a little demonic looking but with Jacques Torres nibs and Maldon salt, it isn’t messing around. When we do dessert, we don’t mess around. #chocolatechipcookies #healthymealbreak #cooookies #allthegluten #allthesugar #yummyfood #jacquestorres
