FAQs
How does Squirrel Meals work?
Each week, Chef Luca creates a new menu of 3 meals:
2- ‘weekday’ meals- 1 course
1- ‘weekend’ meal- 3-4 courses including dessert.
Each meal is prepared, portioned and delivered to your doorstep by Chef Luca himself. Each component is labelled with a number that correlates to your meal, so when it’s time to cook meal #2, grab all the containers labelled #2! Simple!
How do I receive my meals?
Right now, I am offering Tuesday meal pickups between 2-6 PM at Cookshop, located at 2625 SE 26th Avenue, Portland Oregon. If this doesn’t work for you, please contact me directly at squirrelmealspdx@gmail.com and we will come up with a solution!
How long do the meals take to prepare?
Your average meal will take about 10-15 minutes to prepare. Some meals may require long oven times (45 min or so) or a pre-cooking project like marinading or proofing but the hands-off time will always be minimal! Use this time to spend with loved ones, call your mother, or just sit in silence. You do you!
What tasks will I have to do in the kitchen?
I am going to have you doing everything from sauteing and searing, to roasting and dressing. Have no fear! My organization, preparations and instructions help remove excess stress and allow you to focus and be present with the task at hand.
What dietary restrictions can you accommodate?
Currently we can accommodate for a vegetarian or a pescatarian diet. Please reach out if you have an specific dietary needs and we can discuss options!
