The best flavors come from eating in season.  The taste of a strawberry in winter is nowhere close to

Weeknight Dinners for the Health Conscious of Charlottesville, Virginia



Based on your preferences, each week a seasonal menu is offered from which you choose three complete meals.

Because of allergies, food preferences and dietary lifestyles, there is no set menu for each week.

Chef Virginia considers the family or individual's needs and creates a unique menu for each of them.
