My Cuisine

Farm-to-Table Dishes

I work with local growers to deliver seasonal, farm fresh foods. Using fresh produce can reduce costs, increase nutrients consumed, and give that satisfying feeling of being in sync with nature.

Vegetarian Dishes

I am experienced in creating flavorful, creative vegetarian dishes. Would you agree that all the nuts, fruits, cheeses, herbs & spices on this planet leave no room for lonely, bland vegetables day after day?

International Dishes

Having lived in France & Indonesia, I incorporate European & Asian cuisines into my cooking regularly. Caribbean, Indian, Middle Eastern (and other!) cuisines often pop up as well, for the variety & creativity they bring to the table.

Soups

Soups are my favorite! Hot, cold, and everything from tomato basil type basics to signature creations. Ask if you would like me to bring this passion into your weekly meals,

About Merrill

The Chef

Hello, my name is Merrill. I am a Personal & Private Chef, and the owner of Meals by Merrill. I work in the beautiful, Tehachapi area of California. I’m an ENFP by day, and asleep by night 😉 but I am always dreaming up new eclectic ways to combine ingredients. I typically work with a small number of excellent clients, and I help them keep amazing food a priority in this busy world.
