Our Cuisine

Farm-to-Table Dishes

Meals by Merrill works with local growers to deliver seasonal, farm fresh foods. Using fresh produce can reduce costs, increase nutritional value, and give that satisfying feeling of being in sync with nature.

Vegetarian Dishes

Meals by Merrill is 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 veggie dishes day after day?

International Dishes

Having lived in France & Indonesia, Chef Merrill incorporates European & Asian cuisines into her 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 Chef Merrill's favorite! Hot, cold, and everything from Tomato-Basil type basics to signature creations. Ask if you would like her to bring this passion into your weekly meals, or events

About Merrill

The Chef

Hello, my name is Merrill Colón. the owner of Meals by Merrill, and I am a Personal & Private Chef. I live in the beautiful mountains of Tehachapi of California with my family. I like to garden, be with friends & family, do outdoor activities, of course cook, and I am passionate about health. I have a new found love for indoor plants – I am going for the jungle look 😉 

I love food, especially well paired flavors with a pop, I’m especially drawn to creative combinations, international food,  and most any soup – as long as its’s right side up. I like to incorporate local seasonal produce into my cooking.

I offer weekly Menu Planning & Meal Prep Services that incorporate your Food Preferences & Health Goals. I focus on clean, natural ingredients with no preservatives or dyes – to help keep quality food a priority in this crazy world that pull us away from that. I have a wonderful team of experienced helpers I call on, so I’d love to hear about the Catering & Private Services for Small Events you might have.

Thanks for dropping by my website, and I hope to connect soon!
