Food Optimist, LLC

They say «You are what you eat.» If Chef Natalie’s in charge, I’m all good.
Smart, savvy, sweet, and super-​knowledgeable about her food, this girl’s got game. She’s got a way with food, from her locally-​grown picks at all the best farmer’s markets to treks to TJ’s and specialty stores around town, Natalie Brigmond runs a smart little business whose name says it all: the Food Optimist is what she and her catering and meal delivery business are all about.
French and Southern roots anchor a lifelong love of food that’s complemented by an impressive resume of formal training to bring together what you get in tidy little packages (if you’re having prepared meal delivery) or in conversation (if you’re lucky enough to sit down and chat with the friendly chef herself). Natalie loves food and wants to create a fun and satisfying experience for you, your family and friends and serve it to you in your home — whether it’s for a dinner party or event, meal/​grocery service, or for special dietary needs-​type service — and she accomplishes this by listening first, and doing second.
Her website is both pretty and thorough, and you can learn a lot from her sample recipes, the pictures of her visits to local markets and her custom tutorials. She also recently started a blog she promises to keep up regularly (I hope she does as I find it charming and entertaining and as an amateur blogger myself can relate to her struggles to write «consistently»!).
