The first year of marriage is hard. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. Don’t let making dinner every night become a source of stress. I can help you save time and money with organizational tips, equipment suggestions, and healthy, delicious recipes.
What Is Well Groomed?
Well Groomed is my newlywed cooking consultation service that helps couples start married life on the right foot with tips, recipes, and private cooking lessons from a professional chef, wife, and mother who has been married for 16 years.
Who Am I?
My name is Kate Ramos and I am a professional chef, wife, and mother. I have been happily married for 16 years and know how hard those first years of marriage can be when you are trying to create a life together. Believe it or not, but having a well organized kitchen is half the battle. I have 30 years of professional experience as a restaurant chef, food editor, and recipe developer that has helped me hone in on what is necessary in the kitchen and what is a waste of time and money.
Becoming A Confident Cook Is Worth The Investment
When you have the skill set to open the refrigerator or pantry and make a meal with whatever is in there, you will end up saving thousands of dollars a year on the take out you didn’t order and the groceries you didn’t throw away. Knowing how to stock your kitchen with basic supplies and the right equipment makes cooking so much easier and I can set you up for success.
