Meet the Chef
Hi, I’m Katie — a trained chef and native Angeleno, auntie to three adorable little cuties, and proud dog mom.
Mama Takes A Whisk was born out of love and intention. When both my sisters had their children, I didn’t want to just drop off “any” meal. I wanted to create something purposeful — food that truly nourishes and heals from the inside out during the sacred postpartum season.
How does the ordering process work?
1. Choose your bundle: Select a bundle size that fits your needs—smaller (Gifted Mama), medium (Gentle Mama), or larger (Full Bloom Mama).
2. Customize your order: Pick meals from our pre-set menu to build a bundle tailored to your preferences.
3. Pick your delivery date: Deliveries and pick-ups happen every Thursday. We recommend scheduling before your due date to have meals ready when your baby arrives. You can also schedule after birth to get fresh meals immediately, but availability can’t be guaranteed.
4. Fresh or frozen: Meals are delivered fresh but can be frozen and stored until you’re ready to enjoy them.
What is postpartum meal delivery?
Postpartum meal delivery is a specialized service providing nutritious, ready-to-eat or freezable meals designed to support a mother’s recovery after childbirth.
Our meals are crafted with ingredients that promote healing, boost energy, support lactation, and replenish essential nutrients lost during pregnancy and labor.
We take the stress out of meal planning and cooking, so new parents can focus on rest, bonding with their baby, and adjusting to life postpartum — with nourishing food delivered right to their door or available for pick-up.
Who is this service for?
Our postpartum meal delivery service is thoughtfully designed with new moms in mind, focusing on nourishment that supports healing, energy, and milk production when needed. However, these wholesome, balanced, and delicious meals are perfect for anyone—partners, family members, kids, and visitors alike. Whether you’re a new parent or supporting one, our meals nourish and satisfy everyone at the table.
Why are postpartum-specific meals important?
After childbirth, a mother’s body needs time and the right nutrients to heal, recover, and regain strength.
Postpartum-specific meals help by:
- Replenishing lost nutrients like iron, protein, and healthy fats
- Supporting tissue repair and reducing inflammation
- Boosting energy during sleep deprivation
- Encouraging milk production for breastfeeding moms
- Promoting digestion and comfort with gentle, warming foods
Many cultures emphasize postpartum nutrition as a vital part of recovery, and we believe modern moms deserve the same care. And while our meals are thoughtfully crafted based on extensive research to
support postpartum recovery and lactation, I am not a licensed nutritionist or medical professional. Please consult your healthcare provider for personalized medical or nutritional advice.
How large are the portions?
Each meal serves 4 standard adult-size portions—perfect for multiple meals or sharing with a partner, family member, or guest.
How long will a bundle feed me?
Everyone’s appetites and schedules are different, so it really depends! Whether you’re a single parent, sharing meals with your partner, or feeding a larger family (especially if you have other little ones at home), each bundle will last a different amount of time. We provide approximate portion sizes with each bundle to help you choose what’s best for your needs. Each dish has roughly 4 servings—enough for 4 meals.
Do your meals support lactation and breastfeeding?
Yes! Many meals are designed with breastfeeding moms in mind. We use safe, natural ingredients known to support milk production and nourish the body during lactation—such as oats, flaxseed, leafy
greens, healthy fats, and specific herbs (especially in teas).
Do you cater to dietary restrictions?
While our dishes are pre-set and not customizable, we offer a wide variety of meals that naturally accommodate many common dietary needs, including:
- Gluten-free
- Dairy-free
- Egg-free
- Vegetarian & vegan
- Nut-free
- Bean-free
- Seed oil-free
- Refined sugar-free
- Soy-free
If you have a serious allergy or medical dietary concern, please contact us before ordering. We’re happy to help identify the safest options.
Can I send meals as a gift to a new parent?
Yes! You can send any of our bundles as a gift. During checkout, you’ll have the option to include a personalized message along with the delivery.
It’s such a thoughtful and practical gift—new parents truly appreciate and often hope for this kind of nourishing support during those busy first weeks.
How do I reheat my meals?
Check out our “Reheat Tips” tab at the top of the page for detailed, dish-specific reheating and storage instructions to make mealtime simple.
How should I store my meals and how long will they stay fresh?
Store meals in the refrigerator at 40°F or in the freezer at 0°F.
For dish-specific storage instructions, visit the 'Reheat Tips' tab at the top of the homepage.
Do you deliver or can I pick up?
We deliver throughout Los Angeles (flat rate $35). Check that your zip code is within our delivery area. If not, don't worry, you can pick up your order in person!
- Delivery window: Thursdays, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- Pick-up window: Thursdays, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Meals come packed with ice packs and stay chilled safely for up to 2 hours during delivery or pick-up. Please refrigerate or freeze as soon as possible after receiving.
What is your cancellation, refund, and rescheduling policy?
Because meals are made fresh and some ingredients ordered days in advance:
- Cancellations: Must be made at least 7 days before delivery/pick-up for a full refund. Cancellations within 7 days are non-refundable.
- Rescheduling: Requests must be made at least 7 days in advance and depend on availability— you must choose from open dates on our calendar. Changes within 7 days mean the original delivery happens as scheduled; you may cancel instead but payment is still required.
- Missed deliveries/pick-ups are non-refundable due to perishability.
- If emergencies arise, contact us ASAP—we’re here to help!
Can I buy a gift card? Why can't I check out with my gift card?
Absolutely! Our gift cards are a thoughtful way to nourish a new mama and her family. You can purchase one directly on our Gift Card page and choose the amount that works best for you.
If you’re having issues checking out, it might be because of how you started your order. Follow the instructions below carefully:

a warm hug
"The food Katie dropped off for me during postpartum felt like a warm hug. Nourishing broths, congee, and some of the most delicious cookies I still think about to this day!! Everything she’s made for us has always been outstanding, but it felt even more special to receive a meal delivery from her after having my baby. You can truly feel the love and care she puts into her cooking!"

you must take the whisk!
"For my second child, I was gifted Mama Takes a Whisk for the first three weeks at home. We received many gifts—but THIS was the best one I could have asked for. Not only was every meal absolutely delicious, but it also made one important part of my day feel easy when everything else felt overwhelming.
Katie’s meals were perfectly portioned to last, with an amazing variety of nourishing components that were ideal for those early weeks. This will be my go-to gift for anyone embarking on the motherhood journey—you MUST take the whisk!"

absolute lifesaver
"Katie was an absolute lifesaver for me and my husband during the postpartum period. She thoughtfully curated a selection of high-protein, nutrient-rich meals, prepped everything with care, and delivered it seamlessly to our doorstep. Our daughter arrived three weeks early, and we were completely unprepared — but thanks to Katie, our freezer was stocked with nourishing meals, snacks, teas, and broths, ready whenever we needed them.
Every item she made was not only incredibly healthy but also genuinely delicious. Having access to such comforting, nutritious food made those foggy, sleep-deprived early weeks of newborn life so much easier. We are endlessly grateful for her support.
I would recommend Katie — or even gift her services — to any friend navigating postpartum. It's one less thing to worry about during a time when your world revolves entirely around your newborn. Having ready-to-go, nourishing meals truly lifted a weight off our shoulders"
