About Presti’s Primal Pantry

Hi, I’m Maria! When you choose to eat meals made from Presti’s Primal Pantry you are eating from a kitchen that uses only whole foods. In my kitchen, I never use any plastic, seed oils, refined sugars, or highly processed ingredients. Everything is made in either ceramic, cast iron, or stainless steel pans, using stainless steel utensils. Everything is made from fresh from scratch. I offer wholesome, flavorful meals made with organic, quality ingredients and love. I provide weekly meal prep (in-home or delivered), private dinners, and personalized menus tailored to your dietary needs. I focus on quality, flavor, local ingredients when possible, organic/ grass fed meats and wild caught seafood if desired. I offer meals that are rich in animal-based proteins and fats, however I also specialize in plant-based if that’s more your thing! I carefully craft a menu specially tailored to the individuals needs and preferences when it comes to food, So no weekly mass- menu send outs. Whether you’re a busy parent, new parent, health-conscious professional, or vacationing family, I’m here to make your life a little bit easier and give you one less thing you have to worry about!

We used Meals By Maria for a production shoot, our requests were unorthodox, our time was tight and the plan changed SEVERAL times. Maria was professional through every twist and turn and met every request. The food she prepared was not only delicious, it absolutely elevated the content of the video and she was a pleasure to work with.

Maria was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect. She had so many little special touches that meant so much. Aside from her just being such a nice and easy person to work with, Maria’s food was FABULOUS!!! From start to finish. A delicious goat cheese appetizer, fresh and yummy Caesar salad, and a 5 star beef bolognese! Everyone in the family was happy and had full tummies! Oh and a super great dessert too! Even the table setting looked gorgeous! I wish I had taken more photos! I was too busy eating :) Her partner Suzanne, was also there as a server and that made everything very smooth! Suzanne was also great, they made a perfect team! I would recommend Maria to anyone looking for a delicious, on time, perfect meal! I would be thrilled to have Maria be my chef at any event! Thank you!

Honestly, Maria was incredible. We hosted a bridal shower in San Diego (we’re not from the area), and finding someone we could trust from a distance felt a little overwhelming, until we found Maria’s Catering. From the very beginning, she was so kind, patient, and easy to communicate with. We instantly felt like we were in good hands. The food? Unreal. The brunch was beyond delicious, the iced coffee and coconut water shots were such a hit, and the fresh fruit was probably the best I’ve ever had at an event. Everything was beautifully set up, super fresh, and just felt thoughtful. Maria went above and beyond. She made the whole experience feel effortless for us, and you could tell she genuinely cared. We were so, so happy with everything. If you’re thinking about booking her, don’t hesitate. She’s amazing.
