Meal Mate DC — Local services in Dale City

Jamie-Claire took such great care of me, my partner, and my newborn through our love language: food. Over the course of my entire 4th trimester (the full 3 months postpartum) Jamie-Claire cooked homemade meals targeting high iron, protein, veggies & fiber with organic produce. They suggested meals as well as took recommendations and made them more healthier and nutritious than I could’ve imagined. Even for meals that were considered treats or cheat meals Jamie-Claire upped the stakes in their creations (e.g. I was craving pizza bites, they cooked homemade calzones, I was craving a deli sandwich they cooked a chickpea salad sandwich with homemade focaccia and homemade chips with sour cream & onion dip, among many other amazing meals!!). We intentionally saved during our pregnancy to be able to afford a private chef postpartum and I couldn’t have asked for a better Chef during such a crucial moment in our lives. We have already made plans to book Jamie-Claire for winter meals, special events, and our next pregnancy if we decide to welcome another baby. I cannot recommend a service and person higher than what I would recommend Jamie-Claire, they’re an absolute must for your healing journeys, overall nutritional goals or just because!! 5 starts...

Jamie-Claire has been an absolute game-changer for my family. As a single father with a demanding work schedule and a teenage daughter, I used to struggle to find the time to cook healthy meals—or cook at all. Ordering out became our default, but it wasn’t the healthiest option for us.

Since Jamie-Claire started coming to our home, everything has changed. She prepares delicious and healthy meals for the week, tailored to our tastes and nutritional needs. The meals are not only balanced and fresh, but they also save us so much time and stress. Knowing that my daughter and I can sit down to a home-cooked, nutritious dinner every evening is an incredible relief.

Jamie-Claire is more than a personal chef—she’s brought care, creativity, and health into our home. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for what she does truly shine through in every meal. I can’t thank her enough for the positive impact she’s had on our lives. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking to transform their eating habits or ease the load of...

Rave reviews aren't my style but Jamie-Claire Chau, owner of Meal Mate DC deserves one. Chef Jamie prepared and served a Vietnamese Spring Roll feast in my home for 10 people and we're still raving about her and the food. The food was delicious and how she put the meal all together was amazing. All the food was prepared from scratch in our kitchen and some grilled table side. And ... as an extra treat she taught us how to make our own spring rolls. She furnished everything including printed menus personalized for each guest. We enjoyed a beautifully set table with a creative arrangement made of flowers and oranges. Her menu included a variety of foods such as lemongrass mussels (outstanding), crispy fried noodles with a seafood stir fry topping, chicken skewers, sugarcane shrimp and grilled fish in a banana leaf. We ate a few things that were new to us including pink pineapple. I highly...
