Are you hungry? Me too!
If you're looking for personal chef services in the Greater Boston area, you're in the right place. I specialize in the best food -- the tasty kind! Whether you're looking for healthy meals to get you through the work week or indulgent, crave-worthy ones, I got you covered.
Hello! I’m a personal chef based out of Boston, Massachusetts.
Okie Dokie Artichokie was born in late 2010, initially as a food blog, to serve as a creative outlet to share the food made in my kitchen. Many of the meals I cook are inspired by my Peruvian culture, something that is very dear to my heart. I owe much to my family, and especially my dad, who taught me the most important and sacred ingredient in cooking: Love. This will always be the driving force behind my insatiable passion for food.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to have a personal chef?
Imagine this: You walk into the kitchen after a long day of work, school, or tending to the kids, knowing you haven't had time to cook. But, to your delight, you open your fridge to find it full of prepared meals ready to eat. It's that simple!
As a personal chef, I do all the meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking, which means less stress for you and more time to enjoy meals with your friends and family.
The menu is uniquely yours and is customizable to fit your diet. In our initial meeting, we'll discuss food preferences, restrictions, and allergies, which will help navigate your meal planning. Depending on your needs, cook dates are available weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
"When I had my third baby, some friends got together to get me three dinners from Stephanie. It was an amazing week of food and it began a 4 year relationship. Every other week, Stephanie came to our house and cooked three amazing meals for us -- resulting in smiles and empty plates from parents and children (well, most of the time; we have picky eaters). Stephanie's business is of the highest integrity; she buys high quality food, she is trustworthy in the home (we were often not at home when she was there), and our kitchen was perfectly clean when she left. The only reason we are not still enjoying her cooking is that we moved 2,000+ miles away. But to this day, we still cook some of our favorite dishes she used to prepare for us (and I have been tempted to ask her to cook stuff up for me when I visit so I can fly it back home). This was one of the best things we did to help us keep sane balancing a dual-career family with three small kids. It was worth every penny and likely was cost effective as we didn't go out to eat as much or buy spur of the moment items."

"Stephanie is phenomenal, and her personal chef services have been an absolute lifesaver for our busy family. Each week, Stephanie spends a few hours in our kitchen, and when she leaves there is a magical array of delicious meals in the refrigerator to last us the whole week, the kitchen is spotless, and the whole house smells heavenly. We love to cook, but with busy jobs and small children, we've found that having Stephanie take the burden off of grocery shopping, menu planning, chopping/preparing, and cleaning during the weekdays leaves us so much more time to relax in the evenings and enjoy being together. Best of all, it is a much more modest financial expense than we thought personal chef services could be (when you factor in the take-out we would end up getting at some point in the week, and the groceries that we would accidentally let go bad because our meal planning didn't workout out the way we had intended, it's on par with what we were spending before hiring Stephanie.)
Stephanie has an amazing menu to choose from, with rotates seasonally, and she is an incredibly talented chef. We haven't had a single dish from her that we haven't enjoyed, and she is always extremely flexible about special requests or tweaks to dishes. Some of our favorites include her quiches, short ribs with polenta (absolutely mouthwatering), farro salad, seared salmon with parsley-walnut pesto, and enchiladas. We can't recommend Stephanie more highly!"

"Stephanie has been cooking for our family for about 1 1/2 years on a monthly basis and we are so happy with her cooking!
Some time ago, I made a resolution to eat more home-cooked meals, and less take-out, but that didn't magically add time to my life to actually cook (go figure). Stephanie expertly fills in that need-- home-cooked meals, without us doing the cooking!
We have several dietary restrictions in our family, as well as some picky eaters, and Stephanie is able to modify recipes and substitute ingredients in a way that keeps food delicious. The amount of time I save by not aimlessly surfing the web, trying to figure out substitutions, is 100% worth the cost of her service.
Stephanie is very easy to work with, always responds to emails/texts, and leaves the kitchen spotless. I can never tell what she's actually used. If I don't have some piece of equipment that she needs, she brings her own.
The food that Stephanie cooks is amazing, and we have several dishes that we frequently request because they are so good, and there's no way we can replicate them at home: Chicken paprikash, Aji de gallina (shredded chicken in a creamy garlic sauce), and Brazilian fish stew.
We wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie! The food is delicious, and you'll love having a fridge full of delicious goodies without doing any of the work!"
