Nourish at Home | Fresh Food, Your Kitchen
Deliciously healthful food at your fingertips. We shop, prep and cook in your own kitchen. You eat while saving time, losing weight, improving your health and energy and enjoying every bite.
Eat Well
NOURISH cares for all your needs in the kitchen, whether you’re at home, at the office or out and about while we’re chopping, whisking and cooking away. We work closely with you from the outset to ensure your healthy eating and/or weight loss goals are met and any food allergies, dietary restrictions, dislikes and particular preferences are accounted for. NOURISH is well-versed in providing delectable meals for all types of diets including gluten-free, lactose-free, kosher and vegan/vegetarian. We can also address high-cholesterol, high blood pressure, blood sugar, pregnancy, fitness training and other needs when devising menu plans. Additionally, if you have a personalized goal, whether it be an upcoming wedding or event, a need for expedited—but balanced—weight loss, or simply a week of “cleaner, greener” eating, we are happy to accommodate. In fact, that’s what we do best.
The Difference
We take what we eat, and what we prepare for you, pretty darn seriously. We love wholesome food and by utilizing the freshest, high-quality ingredients sourced from area farmers markets , gourmet shops and local purveyors, we can drive a dish’s healthfulness sky high without compromising on flavor, taste or indulgence. Every meal, sauce and snack is made from scratch with thought and care.
Not only do you have access to professionally-trained and talented chefs, but you also have the guidance of one of New York’s most respected registered dietitians. Marissa helps you align your health and weight goals with smart, enjoyable eating habits and a foundation of knowledge to sustain those goals.
What Nourish is Not
A meal delivery service. We come into your kitchen, small or large as it may be, and prepare dishes right in your home. No preservatives, no fake ingredients, no mess for you to clean after we leave.
A band aid. We like to think of ourselves as a bridge. We understand that life in NYC can be hectic and work schedules can be quite demanding at times. We’ll provide you delicious dishes that will also serve as teaching tools in terms of portion sizes and suggested serving options. This way, you can launch out on your own with full confidence and the knowledge to build a healthful meal in the right quantities. Think of our dishes as delicious “reinforcers” that make your day-to-day lifestyle a little easier and more manageable. Eventually, we’d love nothing more than for you to learn by example, seeing what’s stored in your fridge and then tackling the grocery store and your kitchen on your own, or with the help of a cooking lesson or two with us. We want to help you discover just how easy it can be to create wholesome, incredible meals when simple ingredients, fresh flavors and a little experimentation work their magic together.
The Recipe
- Speak directly with Marissa to discuss your specific health and/or weight goals and concerns. She’ll take it from there and build out a daily plan including portions, estimated calories and the right combo of foods and ingredients for optimal satisfaction, energy and weight loss/well-being.
- Complete a quick checklist so we know what kitchen supplies and cooking items you have on-hand. There’s no need to have a kitchen fit for a chef, just a few essentials items, and we’ll make it work. We’ll also ask you to note any particular dietary restrictions, aversions, preferences etc.
- One of NOURISH @home’s chefs will contact you via email or phone to make an introduction and schedule a time for the initial cooking session. We encourage all of our clients to meet face-to-face with their home-chef at least once. Building relationships and communication lines is invaluable, particularly when it comes to something as important as food. Feel free to contact us throughout the time of your service with questions, schedule changes etc.

Amelia Coulter grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico and went to art school at SUNY Purchase where she studied sculpture before settling in Brooklyn. She started cooking seriously in college and pursued a career in food along a diverse and passionate (if untraditional) path. Her diverse cooking experience has led her though a cookie factory, an organic catering kitchen, fine dining restaurants, supperclub-style private dinners and a neighborhood soup kitchen. She compulsively researches and is thrilled by all different aspects of food culture, from farms and photography to tools and politics. Amelia keeps occasional musings on a food blog, Marinationwide, and last year founded the design-oriented cookie company Sugarbuilt. Her cooking is fresh, inventive and seasonally-focused to maximize taste, flavor and health.
