What Makes Plated Life Different

You know food matters. You just don't have time to make it matter.

Between work, workouts, and actually living your life, cooking nutrient-dense meals falls to the bottom of the list. So you default to whatever's convenient, and pay for it in energy crashes, brain fog, and feeling "off."

Plated Life solves this.

Every week, we design meals around what's in season, what your body needs nutritionally, and what actually tastes incredible. Delivered and ready for 5-7 days. You feel the difference.

No meal prepping. No decision fatigue. No compromise.

Samuel responded to my FB post in Northville Michigan- I wanted some simple bowls of cut up fruit to add to the menu for our backyard wedding. He was going to be in Michigan visiting family and offered to help. Samuel's presentation was WAY beyond what I expected!! 3 lovely bowls of unique fruit salads including lovely herbs, honey, coconut, cucumbers and perfectly cut, sweet morsels of peaches, strawberries, assorted melons and berries. Our guests raved about how delicious and unique each bowl of fruit was. The perfect addition to the Middle Eastern spread that we served. He is a gem- and I hope our paths cross again someday.

I have used Sam numerous times now as a private chef, both for work events and private gatherings at my home. He really goes above and beyond to curate a whole experience that is enjoyable for all involved. The food is tasty, presentation is great and he genuinely cares about your experience. Its rare to find a private chef who can cook a steak better than your local steakhouse, but if you love steak Sam is definitely your guy.

I’ve been trying to change my eating habits to healthier ones and Sam has made it the easiest and most delicious journey. Who knew I actually love bell peppers? All jokes aside, I love the way I feel after every meal and everything is always seasoned to perfection. If you’re looking for delicious meals that happen to be healthy, Sam is your guy!
