Reviews
Orr S.
“Having Rachel cook us postpartum meals was one of the best things we did for our future-parent selves. Of course everything was delicious, and saved us time when we needed it most. But it was so much more than sustenance. Rachel’s cooking also left us feeling healthy, full, warm, and a little excited about each meal.
In the delirium and deep isolation of those first few days, sitting down with her food felt like a visit from a friend. When I had my first bite of sausage and vegetable stew, our first meal at home after the hospital stay, I got a bit emotional.”

“After a traumatic birth, these postpartum meals were truly a lifesaver. Not only were they incredibly delicious, but they were also thoughtfully crafted to provide the exact nutrients my body needed to heal and recover. The impact on both my physical recovery and mental health was profound – I felt cared for and loved with every bite.
When I think about what I’m most grateful for after coming home, the first thing that comes to mind is my new baby. But right after that, it is the fully stocked fridge that allowed my husband and me to focus on caring for our baby while also caring for ourselves.
This service was such a gift during a challenging time, and I can’t wait to use it again in the future, whether we decide to have another child or during any time of need. I can’t recommend it enough—it truly makes a world of difference.
11/10 recommend to any new family and 12/10 recommend to anyone thinking about a gift to add to a registry for a new family.”
