Asian-inspired dishes lend themselves to a gluten-free vegan preparation. I love working with soba noodles and creating flavorful sauces with ingredients such as miso, lemongrass, lime and ginger.

Sarah made delicious and nourishing food for us after our baby was born. She is excellent at working with dietary restrictions and still delivering meals that taste amazing. Her food deliveries made all the difference for us.

I use bison for my meatloaf that is lean and has a subtle sweetness. Shitake and portobello mushrooms, along with spicy BBQ sauce in the mix, make this a very juicy and flavorful crowd pleaser. My apple butter maple mashed sweet potatoes are the perfect pairing for this dish.

Sarah worked with our large family during a recent vacation in Aspen and we were overwhelmed with her delicious gourmet meals! She was flexible and easy to work with and went over and above to prepare several dinners, lunch and breakfast items in our remote home location—highly recommend her!!

Bruschetta is a chance to showcase local flavors. Smoked trout pate with locally-grown orange beets, grass-fed beef tenderloin with horseradish crème fraiche, and arugula.

Chef Sarah helped our large family recently on a family vacation in Aspen. She exceeded all expectations in quality, flexibility and delivery. She was able to please everyone’s palate. We requested three full dinners for 8 adults and 4 kids, plus lunch and breakfast items. Everything was delicious and over the top. Sarah is very sweet and easy to work with—we would highly recommend her!

My favorite berry oat muffins have walnuts and are paleo-friendly with almond flour and coconut flour.

We hired Sarah Mandell to cook and deliver ready-made meals for our group during the week we spent in Snowmass. Sarah’s services were exactly what we were looking for....Sarah was professional and a pleasure to work with. She was mindful of food restrictions and responsive in case we had any questions.

Chocolate chip cookies can be both healthy and tasty. This gluten-free version is full of chocolate chips and made with almond flour. Perfect with a glass of almond milk.

I recommend Sarah’s chef services above all others. Such variety and everything was delicious...especially the bison meatloaf! She also did a wonderful job accommodating a long list of allergies and food sensitivities and did so with gusto. Her love for food and cooking shines through.
