About Us - Meals For Family

Hi, I’m Whiles Michelle! 👩‍🍳

I’m a professional Chef based in Los Angeles and the proud creator of Meals For Family. By day, I run a busy kitchen at 74 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026, where I craft restaurant-quality dishes for food lovers. But when the dinner bell rings at home, I face the same challenge you do: feeding a large family delicious, healthy meals without spending hours or a fortune.

That’s why I started Meals For Family—to share my professional secrets, simplified for real home cooks like you.

Why I Created Meals For Family

After years in high-end kitchens, I realized most “chef recipes” are too complicated for busy weeknights, and most “budget recipes” lack incredible flavor. I saw busy moms, dads, and families everywhere struggling with the same question:

“What can I cook tonight that’s healthy, cheap, feeds a crowd, and my kids will actually eat?”

So I made it my mission to bridge the gap between restaurant techniques and family reality.

What Makes Us Different

✅ Chef-Created Recipes – Professional techniques made simple
✅ Real Family Portions – No tiny servings here (feeds 4-12 people)
✅ Budget-Friendly – Most meals under $10, grocery lists included
✅ Kid-Approved – Even picky eaters love these dishes
✅ Time-Saving Methods – Air fryer, slow cooker, one-pan wonders

Our Promise to You

Tested in my home kitchen (not just a restaurant test kitchen)
Scaled for families (with options for 4, 6, 8+ people)

Behind the Scenes
