Plant-Based Personal Chef Services

New to vegan and plant-based eating? Or a seasoned plant-based foodie seeking menu inspiration? Dancing With Plants offers plant-based personal plant-based chef services to fit your journey. We can help you get started, create delicious meal plans, prepare meals for you to enjoy, or even teach you how to cook amazing plant-based dishes yourself! Get ready for your taste buds to tap dance!

Dancing With Plants specializes in the entire spectrum of plant-based deliciousness! We are particularly focused on whole food plant-based cooking (though who doesn't love some of the amazing plant-based products out there once in a while for a tasty treat), meeting nutritional requirements, eating home fermented foods, and making plant-based meat substitutes ourselves. If you love food adventures, we cook cuisines from all over the world!

Keith Hughes is an energetic, talented, and creative chef! As passionate about collaborating with clients as he is about plant-based cuisine, Keith is a ton of fun to work with and extremely responsive to my dietary quirks and requests.

I’ve been happily “vegan for the animals” for over a decade, but have never loved to cook. Comfort food has been my mainstay, so I was looking for fresh inspiration and an infusion of healthy, yummy dishes…and Keith delivered. Literally! He brainstormed, planned, revised each menu multiple times (per my notes), shopped, cooked everything from scratch, and delivered a cooler filled with deliciousness directly to my door. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Over the course of six months, Keith turned my fridge into a “grab-n-go” (minus the guilt) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was a huge timesaver, and also motivated me to try some of his recipes, which are conveniently posted on his website. He’s not precious about sharing the goods — or his extensive knowledge — and insists on honest feedback, so he can cater to his clients’ specific tastes and health requirements.

I always knew how versatile and delectable a plant-based diet could be, but thanks to Keith, now I know it’s 100% achievable without all of the added salt and refined sugar. That’s a big deal in my book. If you’re searching for an innovative, collaborative, responsive chef, the search is over. This is your guy! -RR

Keith cooked some meals for us and they were wonderful. Keith took a lot of time to get to know what flavors/ types of food we like before creating a menu. The meals were incredible. Even my husband, who loves meat and potatoes, liked the vegan meals Keith made. Keith is very knowledgeable and personable, and a very talented chef. I highly recommended Keith! -LC
