A private nutrition and culinary service for busy New Yorkers who want to eat exceptionally well without the planning, shopping, cooking, tracking, or managing a chef in their home.
We learn how you eat, what you enjoy, and what your health requires. Then we prepare and deliver a complete five-day menu built around you.
Two generous meals a day, along with cold-pressed juices, herbal teas, seasonal fruit, and handmade snacks.
Meals are cooked fresh in our private kitchen and delivered twice a week in reusable glass containers. We can bring them to your door or stock your refrigerator for you.
Membership is $4,800 per month, and we work with no more than five clients at a time.
The menu we create for you reflects your health goals, lab work, allergies, preferences, schedule, and appetite. If you work with a physician or registered dietitian, we can follow their guidance and translate it into food you will genuinely look forward to eating.
There are no weekly menus to browse, calories to calculate, boxes to unpack, or chefs to supervise. You tell us what is and is not working; we take care of the rest.

Executive Chef and Lead Health Coach
Lindsey oversees each client's nutrition plan, menu, and ongoing care. Her background includes cooking for private clients and working with Jackie Jeong, former Chef de Cuisine at Eataly, and Coolhaus. She became a mindbodygreen-certified health coach in 2024.
Pastry and Fermentation
Rose brings a quiet obsession with seasonality to our snacks, breads, and cultured foods. She develops the house-made ferments, preserves, and pastries that round out every weekly menu.
Nutrition and Menu Development
Aleks translates lab work, preferences, and health goals into menus that are as nourishing as they are enjoyable. She partners with each client's physicians and dietitians to keep every plan on track.
Chef
Sandra draws on her Colombian Caribbean roots, pairing fresh seafood with Mediterranean herbs, vegetables, and a tropical touch. She cooks by taste rather than recipe, trusting her senses, fresh ingredients, and close attention to bring each dish to life.
The core membership provides five days of food each week: two substantial meals per day, cold-pressed juices, herbal teas, seasonal fruit, and house-made snacks. It also includes your initial health and lifestyle review, personalized menu planning, two deliveries each week, container pickup, and regular check-ins. Weekend coverage is available as an add-on.
Every menu is created around your health goals, dietary needs, allergies, preferences, appetite, and schedule. We do not ask you to choose from a catalog of preset meals. We plan for you, share the menu for review, and adjust it based on your feedback.
Yes. With your permission, we can review relevant lab work and recommendations from your physician, functional-medicine practitioner, or registered dietitian. We turn that guidance into practical, enjoyable daily meals. Mother Verde does not replace medical care or provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
We prioritize seasonal produce, thoughtfully raised meat and dairy, wild-caught seafood, and high-quality grains, beans, herbs, and spices. We source locally and organically when possible and use minimal dairy and gluten in our kitchen. Your individual menu will always be tuned to your specific health needs and constraints.
We deliver to New York City residences twice a week. Meals arrive ready to eat in reusable glass containers, packed in insulated bags. We can leave the delivery with you or your concierge, or arrange to stock your refrigerator. We collect the containers each week.
You receive the personalization and quality of a private chef without giving up your kitchen or managing another person in your home. We plan and cook off-site, coordinate with your health professionals when needed, and deliver everything ready to eat.
Menus follow a five-week rotation, with new menus introduced each season. This gives you plenty of variety while allowing us to learn what you love and refine the meals over time.
We check in at least once a month and can speak as often as weekly when useful. We use those conversations to adjust portions, ingredients, flavors, and the overall plan as your schedule, preferences, or health goals change.
This is a hands-on service. Keeping the client list small allows Lindsey and the team to know each person well, oversee every menu, and maintain the quality and consistency the work requires.
Schedule a video or in-person consultation. We will discuss your goals, routines, dietary needs, and whether the service is a good fit. If we decide to work together, we will complete a deeper intake before creating your first menu.
Mother Verde gives you thoughtful, personal food every day—and gives you back the time and attention it used to require.
