Miss Rachel's Pantry

About Me


I would like to feed anyone and everyone.
Miss Rachel's Pantry is a vegetarian personal chef, catering and consulting company, offering menu-planning and delicious homestyle cuisine to the vegans, vegetarians, and open-minded omnivores of Philadelphia, Pa (and it's burbs!).Please see my blog for some menu ideas and pricing.
What I do!
*Cook and deliver healthy veg meals for you to enjoy throughout the week
*Help you woo your vegan sweeties with fancy shmancy 4-course meals cooked in your very own kitchen.
*Make your soiree (French for "party") into a stress-free sit-down dinner for 5 of your best buddies
*Feed touring bands who haven't had a homecooked (or even cooked, for that matter) meal in days/weeks/months.
*Make and deliver kid-friendly meals so that you can have an occasional vegetarian family dinner night
*Create casual meals for stressed out students who can't squeeze cooking into their study/work/drink schedule. Share meal orders with friends and save $$! Great idea, Rachel.
ABOUT ME:I live in South Philadelphia, could live on mango popsicles and popcorn if I had to, and have two cats, Minnie and Oscar, who like tofu stir fry and barbecue seitan. I understand that vegans and vegetarians are not rabbits. We like more than lettuce. Though, I really like lettuce. But, you know, with other things.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People whose tummies need some love. Friends that don't find comfort in burgers. Fellow veggies. Nice vegan + vegetarian people in Philly who need more options.
