Read a few comments from clients about Chef Carolyn’s meals…
Discovering Carolyn and her amazing talent has been a blessing for our family. My sister and I wanted to give our parents – our mom in particular – a break from cooking following a major surgery. We hoped our parents would embrace the “meal delivery” concept and figured it was a bonus if they liked the food too. How wrong we were … they love Carolyn’s meal delivery and RAVE about her cooking. We have received emails and calls daily including pictures of each dinner! We hear about Carolyn’s cooking more than recovery updates! Each meal is better than the last and Carolyn has introduced new foods and flavors that our parents are enjoying immensely. Thank you Carolyn for being a part of our mom’s recovery team! We know they are continuing on with you when our gift ends … lucky them!

Carolyn,
I have thanked you in person for these amazing meals, but I also wanted to share with others my experience and how you came to help me.
Recently, I was hospitalized for a back surgery for which I have waited almost a year. I knew I would be hospitalized for several days, but would also have to stay immobile for 2 weeks. Let me tell you now that I am gluten intolerant and eat a rather strict diet. My wonderful sister in Houston wanted to do something special for me so she contacted a friend here in Atlanta to research a chef not only known for their amazing meals, but for catering to people with food allergies. Our friend had heard some great things about Carolyn and my sister contacted her right away. Through emails they were able to put together my likes and dislikes with a questionnaire. My hobby is cooking so I am a pretty tough critic. All I can say is upon my return, I am welcomed with dishes like roasted butternut squash, grilled swordfish, sesame tuna, roasted pork and more delicious dishes than I can name. Carolyn came to my house to deliver them every few days and I realized what a special person she is. Having not to prepare my meals and getting to eat food this good was a treat. I have spread the word to all my friends, as has my sister. You would not be disappointed.

Thankfully I found Carolyn’s website when I was looking to have meals delivered to my boss who was recovering from major surgery! Carolyn was pleasant and wonderful to work with from the start. She received rave reviews for her healthy and tasty meals that she went out of her way to deliver for me on such short notice. Little did I know that I would be calling on Carolyn soon thereafter for a friend who is recovering from breast cancer. Once again, she was able to turn it around quickly once she received the client questionnaire. My friend is very grateful for Carolyn’s fabulous meals and her wonderful smoothies she made especially for her. Carolyn is caring, knowledgeable and a true gem that I feel blessed to have discovered.

Carolyn,
(Client with GERD)
My GERD is a lot better. I’m tolerating the food really well, and haven’t had any major reflux issues in several weeks. I also stopped taking the medication, which wasn’t helping much anyway. Eating whole food meals that are vegan and some raw really makes a difference.

I would highly recommend Chef Carolyn to anyone; she is not only a fabulous cook, nutritionist, she is professional and very caring about each of her customers needs. I had the pleasure of using her service for an employee who was out of work due to surgery and could not cook, I found Chef Carolyn information on the web and she not only provided 5 fabulous healthy meals but she went out of her area to deliver the meals. Finding honest and caring people has become so rare these days. It was a pleasure finding hope and faith in Chef Carolyn service. She is Fabulous!

Hi Carolyn,
Both David and I are deeply appreciative of the time and effort you put into helping my mom with meals. She LOVES THEM and has gone on endlessly on how delicious they are, how beautifully prepared, how thoughtfully packaged, etc…This is such a relief as she is really in such a bind and she is finding it hard to accept that change needs to happen. Again, thank you for preparing such yummy meals and for your infinite kindness to her and patience with her.

It is my pleasure to recommend Carolyn Akens services as a personal chef. She cooked for my family for six years, and we are all were very happy with the quality of meals she prepared. She is always pleasant and professional and is very available to comments and requests. Her initial client questionnaire was quite detailed, and I believe because of this, she was immediately able to select recipes that would please us. Since that time, she has treated us to many creative and delicious combination of our favorite things. We always looked forward to our cook dates, and her lovely smile, and miss both when we are out of town! We have relocated to Kentucky, but we still get her meals when she visits us! Sadly, my friend, Marisa, passed. She is missed and loved!

Chef Carolyn is truly amazing and she serves up only the best of first class meals! We had a difficult situation to occur with two different families and Chef Carolyn came in and saved the day with her delicious homemade cooked meals plus a Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings on Thanksgiving Day. The family expressed that it was the best turkey and dressing they had ever eaten. The two families were overwhelmed by her gracious presence, professionalism and the exquisite taste of her food. You will not just have a fine meal but you will receive the utmost quality of service in every area.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we are enjoying your delicious meals. It is so wonderful to not have to worry about meal planning, grocery shopping, food preparation, or kitchen clean up. You just do it all!! Needless to say, we are already spoiled and don’t even want to go out to eat anymore because your meals are so delicious. It just lifts my spirits to see how much you enjoy what you do and the love that you have for cooking really comes through in these lite and scrumptious gourmet meals!

Dearest Chef Carolyn: THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I must tell you that your work is awesome. First of all, it was great to walk in last evening to a house with a delightful aroma. Then to sit and enjoy a delectable meal was just wonderful! Everything was extremely tasty and very well seasoned. Not too much. Just right!
