Why Choose Thyme Savor for Personal Chef and Meal Prep Services

About Chef Angel

From an early age, I was inspired by my father, a chef who once ran a small one-man restaurant. I often joined him in the kitchen, learning through observation and helping where I could. Those early days at his side gave me a foundation in cooking, a respect for how food connects people, and sparked a lifelong passion that continues to guide me today.

I later spent several years living in Mexico, where I refined my skills and opened a small restaurant. That experience taught me to be resourceful, to work with bold flavors, and to approach cooking with creativity. Today, I bring those lessons to Thyme Savor by designing menus that fit each client’s needs and preferences. Whether for a busy professional or a family, my focus is on keeping meals fresh, satisfying, and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is your service offered?

We provide in-home personal chef and meal prep services across Portland and Vancouver, including the Pearl District, Southwest Hills, Northeast and Southeast Portland, and Dunthorpe. We also serve nearby areas such as Lake Oswego, West Linn, Beaverton, Canby, and Camas, Washington.

What equipment do I need?

Clients are expected to have standard kitchen equipment available, such as cutting boards, mixing bowls, pots, pans, sheet pans, and utensils. For meal storage, you can provide your own glass containers, or we can supply containers for a fee.

Where are the meals prepared?

Thyme Savor is a personal chef service that cooks in your home.

Do you provide calorie counts or macronutrient breakdowns?

We do not provide detailed calorie counts or full macronutrient breakdowns. Our focus is on preparing fresh, balanced meals that save you time. If you have specific nutrition guidelines or portion preferences, we’re happy to follow them when planning and preparing your meals.

How often do you come to cook?

We typically cook for clients once a week, which is enough to keep their fridge stocked with fresh meals. If you’d like service more than once a week, we’re happy to arrange a schedule that works best for your household and needs.

Do I have to be home when you are cooking?

No. In most cases clients are working, running errands, or out of town while their personal chef is preparing their meals. We just ask that you provide us with a safe and reliable way to enter and exit your home.

How do I start services?

Getting started is simple! Just fill out our contact form, and we’ll follow up by email with more information about our services. From there, we’ll send you a short intake form to gather details about your preferences and needs, so we can make sure everything is tailored for you.

What is your cancellation policy?

We ask for at least 72 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a weekly service. This allows us to adjust our schedule and avoid wasted time on planning and shopping. Cancellations made with less than 72 hours’ notice may be subject to a fee.

What types of meals do you prepare?

We use high-quality ingredients to create meals tailored to each client’s needs and preferences. We can accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements and food allergies, including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, paleo, Whole30, low-FODMAP, and ketogenic diet.
