Grateful Plate

We recently had a private chef from Grateful Plate prepare a special birthday dinner for a small group of friends in our home.  From start to finish they were very accomodating.  Working with Melaine to design a delicious menu was seamless.  Nielle our chef was lovely and talented.   Our menu featured the mezze platter with homemade pita chips, grilled flank steak skewers with Chimichurri Sauce, Korean BBQ skewered chicken, roasted pear and arugula salad, oven roasted seabass with warm tomatoe vinegrette accompanied by Farro almond pilaf and broccolini completed by apple pie in a jar.  Everything was very flavorful and delicious.  All that and nothing to clean up at the end of a fabulous evening.  We highly recommend Grateful Plate!

My fiancee and I had a wonderful cooking lesson with Beth. We learned to cook some of our favorites! We learned to make miso soup with edamame dumplings, a chicken curry, and a delicious bulgogi steak lettuce wrap! It was a lot of fun and very imforative (and I definitely feel a lot more comfortable cutting with a giant knife!). We would definitely do a private lesson again and will likely be checking out any open/group lessons in the future. More...

We have been using Grateful Plate for over a year, and I could not be any happier with their meals and their customer service. Everything is fresh, delicious, and healthy. The menus change each week to keep things new and exciting. And when I forget to place my order in time, the owner Mike even calls me to remind me! Awesome experience all the way around. I highly recommend them! More...

We had Grateful Plate cater for a work event and they were INCREDIBLE!  They had catered a smaller event for another division of our company before and everyone loved the food and spoke highly of their level of service. When time came to plan another event they were my first choice. Not only did Melaine and the whole team at Grateful Plate work with us to stay in budget, but when we had to reschedule twice because of inclement weather they went out of their way to work with us and make the experience as stress free as possible. Cannot say enough good things about this company. Great food and great service! More...

Amazing customer service. They have many varieties and selections for everyone's preference. Great prices compared to other options or names in the same business. They also have faster delivery compared to others. I've been using Grateful Plate for a while and it's the one source of food that I don't grow tired of. So many choices. Thumbs up. More...

I was blown out of the water with with wonderful customer service I received on my orders!  Since I sent both orders as gifts I did not try the food.

Are you currently using Blue Apron or something similar  Then you have to check these guys out!!  I was referred to them by someone I do business with who knew I was using a meal delivery service. I want heathy meals at home that are not run of the mill and don't cost a fortune. I tried Grateful Plate and am thrilled. They do a remarkable job with the menu, presentation and delivery. The best part- I literally pull it out of my fridge and heat and eat!!  The variety is fabulous- vegetarian, vegan, carnivore, gluten free, whatever. They cover all the bases. Seriously - if you want to get back your after work time this summer you have to try them. More...

I'm going through major medical issues and recently had two surgeries, requiring me to be home to rest and heal. A generous friend gifted me a large order of food from Grateful Plate and, holy ****! I start eating it and my first thought gets interrupted. My first thought is - "whoa, this is delicious", but then my body interrupts to say "shut up taste buds, I have to inform him how amazingly healthy this is for me! I need to give him a huge hug". That's what it feels like.Then, satisfied as can be, I go about my day and forget that experience.Later, hunger returns, and it happens all over again.Amazing. Such a good idea for any time, any person, but especially someone needing to heal and restore well being.Highly recommended. More...

This meal delivery was a great experience. I did not get ill (I have a number of food allergies) and my family and I LOVED each menu option! It is great to have food, portioned out for you and easily prepared, especially during the busy  holiday season. I will not only order again from Grateful Plate, I will be spreading my love and devotion to this team for years to come! Keep up the awesome work Grateful Plate team! The menu is local, seasonal, and organic where possible! Thank you! More...

This is the 1st time I've given 5 stars in on-line review. Grateful Plate has exceeded my expectations every time I've gifted someone with their service. Sometimes I see an artist musician or actor who is so good at, and passionate about what they do that I think to myself, "this person has found his or her calling". Well, I think Beth, and Mike and their team at Grateful Plate have found their calling. They provide more than a service they provide a full experience, everything from their customer service, to the meal presentation and food quality all the way through to the delivery - the complete package. Excellence!!! More...

My husband and I were starting Whole 30 and knew from experience with other services (e.g., Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, etc.) that their meals wouldn't be compliant . I found Grateful Plate on Instagram and decided to check them out - their pitch of chef prepared, wholesome food was exactly what we were looking for. The online ordering process was great - alerting me of necessary swaps and ingredients that wouldn't work for my strict diet. The meals arrived promptly during the delivery window I requested. The food was also well portioned (we were full), nicely seasoned, and delicious! Overall, they saved me during one of my busiest weeks. Would definitely recommend for someone who wants to eat good food sans the crap that usually accompanies prepared meals. More...

Really cannot say enough about the Grateful Plate team - the level of customization and customer service - and the quality of the food! It's hard to believe how on the ball they are with my personal preferences, often double checking an order based on inconsistencies against my intake form, which is appropriately lengthy and diligent. In other words, they REALLY care about understanding individual needs and preferences. The chef is clearly trained in a range of techniques and cuisines and they do not skimp on volume, quality, special seasonings, bells & whistles, etc. I am genuinely so impressed by this small business!

I have nothing but great things to say about Grateful Plate - it is truly full of great!  Beth is amazing as a health coach.  She is so very kind and compassionate, as well as extremely flexible and understanding.  I signed up for the 90-day transformation.  From the start, Beth was a supportive and positive presence in each of our sessions.  Her love, openness and empathy had a huge impact on me, as well as on my relationship with food.  The positive changes that happened through the process not only affected my food habits, but changed my deeper beliefs and habits, as well.  Having the trip to the store, as well as the cooking class helped tremendously in making food and cooking exciting, instead of scary.  If you're looking to create a peaceful, loving, fun and nurturing relationship with food, Beth is the woman!  I am so grateful to Beth for the love and support she's shown me (and for all the new foods and recipes!)

Since I was young, I never put very much thought or time into understanding the nutritional value of my food. As I got older and my body matured, I started to see the negative side effects of this mentality. .. Ever since I moved to center city Philadelphia and began my partnership with the team at Grateful Plate, Chef Beth and Mike have helped immensely! They've helped me to organize my meals and healthier lifestyle, effectively navigate the isles at Whole Foods, separate the good vs. the bad and also provide me with an easy & HEALTHY, meal delivery service that is incredibly delicious and easy. There are definitely multiple ways to make life changes, but there is no denying the fact that sometimes you need a little help. I couldn't give this service a higher recommendation. Thank you!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Beth and A Mindful Me. I found Beth through Yelp. I was looking to loose weight and change my lifestyle for good. After years of on and off dieting I was in a pretty awful place. I did Beth's 90 day program with cleanse and it has honestly change my life for the better. Beth combines changing your relationship with food while inspiring you to create amazing clean eating dishes. She was super flexible with my crazy schedule and throughout work trips, a family vacation to Europe, and planning my sister's wedding I was able to stay on track and continue towards my goals with Beth. I finished my time with Beth about 3 months ago and didn't want to review until I was positive that the wonderful things she taught me would stick. They have. I have remade the recipes that Beth taught me in my cooking class with her and have created tons of new amazing clean dishes on my own from what I've learned from her. When I grocery shop I use all the tips and tricks she taught me during our grocery store classes and know what is going to keep me on track. Beth's program is a lifetime change for the better. She teaches you everything you need in small manageable steps. She has instilled a passion for creativity with food and an understanding of what foods fuel you specifically. There's no "one program fits all" with Beth. She is invested in you as a person and helping you achieve everything you want out of life. Beth, I can't thank you enough for your help and I can't wait to see what the next years can teach me about bettering myself both food related and not. If you're looking for a forever change, Beth is your answer. More...

In the midst of battling with digestive issues, hormonal imbalance after the birth of my second child, and newly formed adult acne, I decided it was time to go gluten free/dairy free to help heal my gut and cleanse my body.  Searching around online I found Beth, and how lucky I feel to have her cooking for my family... and coaching me along the way.  Since starting with us in February, Beth has introduced us to a whole new world of delicious vegetable options that we had never experienced before and consequently were now eating more veg servings per day.  Even though Beth is a vegetarian, she has served several amazing meat dishes and soups that my family loves.  Fearing going GF/DF would not go over well with the family, we started slowly, and little by little we found that there were so many alternatives that offered equally wonderful tastes.Beth has been very patient and supportive thru out this process, and is also a joy to have in the house each Wed!  My kids look forward to seeing her each week.  She has a great many amazing recipe selections, and I would most certainly recommend her to anyone looking to adapt to a more healthy lifestyle.

I've been a vegetarian for 25 years and vegan for 3 years. Despite this, I have gradually gained weight since retiring 6 years ago. Now overweight by at least 20 pounds and with the New Year here, I decided I had to do something drastic to change my life, starting with the food I eat. In November 2013, I went to a half-fasting detox retreat in Australia, hoping this would be the answer. Having only one real meal at the end of the day left me feeling so weak I was afraid I'd faint if I stood up. Yes, I initially "lost" 6.5 kilos (14 pounds), which I soon regained once I started eating food again. After all that expense and effort, I was at a loss as to what to do next because I wasn't going to give up! Like an answer to a prayer, I learned of Beth's Program. I eliminated undesirable foods the week before the program began. After two days on the Program, I was no longer exhausted when I woke up in the morning, my energy and enthusiasm began to build, and best of all, I no longer was on a blood sugar high/low roller coaster. And I was sated! At an early stage, I began to see progress toward my initial goals:1. "remake myself and my life" (eat well and increase exercise to restore energy and gain a more positive attitude)2. resume daily yoga3. learn to cook efficiently so I always have healthy food choices availableAfter an encouraging initial phone call, Beth provided a comprehensive, clear, easy to follow program of information, specific meal plans for the 15 days, and recipes for the future. With her energy and enthusiasm and my own determination, I fully committed to adhere to the guidelines and spend the time required to cook healthy food. This last was a marked change from having peanut butter and toast for dinner! I quickly regained my energy within days of starting the Program. I found it relatively easy to cook the meals (once I got back into the habit of devoting time to the kitchen), and the food was absolutely delicious! I reorganized my kitchen to keep most-frequently-used ingredients and utensils/equipment close at hand to become more efficient. And I will continue this pattern of cooking and eating "only real food" for the rest of my life!Beth's own positive attitude and explicit guidance were tremendously inspiring. She provided the impetus and structure I needed to make a life-long change. I can't thank you enough, Beth!! And if you're ready for an easy way to turn your life and health around, Beth may be the answer for you too!Happy Chewing and Happy Eating! Kathy More...

I was looking for a health coach, because I was sick of trying to navigate the massive amount of contradicting health food advice that I continually read in magazines, on websites, and heard from friends. I didn't know what was true and felt like nothing was working.  I heard about Beth and her approach to healthy eating and I decided to sign up for her program.  It was one of the best decisions I made for my overall health. Beth showed me what I should be looking for when grocery shopping and what to foods to select off a menu.  But what helped me the most was her session when she showed me how to prepare healthy foods in my own kitchen.  She helped me feel more comfortable in the kitchen, which has made a huge difference for me.  No more frozen vegetables packaged with sauces, because now I know easy ways to cook them myself! It seems like a little thing, but it's all the little things combined that make the big difference.  What I liked best about her program is that it's a sustainable lifestyle, because it's not a program where I'm depriving myself of anything. I felt a difference after one week on her program and I continue to notice the improvement in my energy levels.  Beth helped me worked towards my goal of improving my eating habits and making smarter choices.   I absolutely recommend Beth to anyone looking for a health coach.

At the end of summer my boyfriend turned to me and said we should do a cleanse. After years of trying to eat healthy, yet knowingly putting awful things into my body, I was all about it. We were introduced to Beth through a coworker and knew she was the right fit for our needs. Her comprehensive packet of information was so informative. I learned so much in such a short time. After a few days we were already feeling the effects of the cleanse, inside and out, and were loving it. Beth was supportive throughout the cleanse. She was always willing to chat if need be and sending us pep talks via email every morning. She is so enthusiastic about eating clean and healthy, it's contagious!It felt good to be eating guilt free and knowing that what I was putting into my body was going to help me rather than hurt me. I went from eating only when I was starving, thus making poor choices, to planning my meals way ahead of time. It was fun to go through Beth's recipe book and prepare for the week. Her recipes are delicious, fun and easy to make!!! Even weeks after strict cleansing I still incorporate her recipes into my daily routine.Weeks later I feel better about myself and my food choices and have even dropped a few pounds as well. I am way more aware of what I'm eating and putting into my body, which is probably the best thing I could have taken from this experience. Knowledge is power and now that I have learned so much from Beth, I am confident I'll never fall back into those bad habits. I feel like I started a whole new life style and I could never have done it without her guidance and assistance. More...

I found Beth through a recommendation of a friend who is a health coach. I had completed the health coaching and was taught all of the foods to incorporate into my diet the problem is I absolutely hate to food shop and cook. So I was good for breakfast and lunch but dinner was always an issue. Eating healthy takes a lot of preparation. I work full time and usually eat my dinner alone at 10pm. My husband and I are constantly arguing over who is going to take on the dinner duties. Finding Beth and hiring her as a personal chef was the best thing we have ever done for our family. We can eat together or separate whichever that day's schedule allows and everyone is healthy and happy. We all feel so much better and are eating foods that are healthy and taste amazing. I have much more energy and am completely satisfied after every meal. I highly recommend spoiling yourself and your family.I am obsessed with her homemade pesto sauce and her green goddess dressing has me actually craving a salad for lunch. More...

Beth is thoughtful, kind, understanding and encouraging.I was in a bad place. Summer was over and I had spent my days drinking outside, eating burgers out the wazoo and snacking at work with reckless abandon. My once-in-awhile habits had become regular habits, and my waistline was paying for it. My face felt puffy and my skin was dull. I was not happy with myself. Beth helped pull me out of that rut with her personal health coach program. Each week we go over personal goals, feelings about food, why we consume what we consume and when, plus she always gives me a kick in the butt when it's needed. "Saying no to old habits means saying yes to something so much bigger."In just a month, my pants have fit better and my energy levels are up. It's not about weight loss. It's about feeling your best self. I would recommend Beth to anyone who needs a lifestyle change or refresher course. She also makes a damn good green juice. More...
