CHEF Melissa Winstead…
BIO:
I am a Bay Area native, with a degree in Human Development and Nutrition from UC Davis, along with my Culinary Arts Degree from the California Culinary Academy, San Francisco. I grew up with most of my best memories taking place in the kitchen. From learning to bake with my Easy Bake Oven, to eventually catering weddings and private parties, my passion has always been food. I’ve traveled all over Europe, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, and North America and enjoy sharing my travel experiences through the food I prepare.
I am trained in cooking for a variety of dietary needs including, but not limited to, diabetic, heart healthy, low cholesterol, low fat, plant based, AIP, and more. I believe in cooking with local, organic, and sustainable ingredients whenever possible.
Sweet Melissa’s seemed an apt name for my business given that the name “Melissa” means honeybee. Not only do I work like a busy bee, I collaborate with a hive mind of fantastic chefs to bring you the best.

the experience:
“Just heaping more praise for Melissa! She has been preparing meals for my family for over a year now and we have no complaints:
1) Quality of ingredients absolutely second to none.
2) Preparation tailored to our tastes but with amazing variety
3) Very healthy (nautral, not a lot of salt or oils)
4) Very flexible (can cancel a few days before if you are out of town).
5) Cost is fair
She is a lovely person and a wonder chef!”. Kevin F. Oct 2021“Melissa and her team are absolutely amazing! They prepared and served a wonderful meal for 19 people in our apartment. The appetizers, entrees and sides all were delicious, prepared to perfection and beautifully plated and served. And at the end of the night, they cleaned everything up so well that you never would have known that we had had a dinner party for so many people. If I could give Sweet Melissa's six stars, I would!” Mark G. Jan. 2018
“I'm not sure what I can add except to second all the raves reviews. We have been absolutely delighted with Melissa's cooking - all of it. For someone who never ate salads, I'm practically licking the bowl these days.
Have a terrific "delivery" Melissa. Will be looking forward to your return” Madeline L. Aug 2020
