I've Got A Secret - Mom's Secret Chef!




Mom’s Secret Chef

Article by:  Wendy Lee-Anderson


Mom’s Secret Chef is run by a brother and sister team of Julia and Eric Ward.  They have been running the operation for six years. Opening Mom’s Secret Chef happened purely by chance.  The business was originally owned by someone else and Julia had stopped by and learned that they were going to close down or sell.  She spoke to her brother and they both agreed this was a great opportunity and decided to go for it. 


Julia started her career during the dot.com craze.  She lived and worked in the San Jose, CA area.  She planned many corporate events for the company she worked for and after the dot.com crash she relocated to Washington, DC where she ran several dessert stores.  Her cookies and homemade desserts were a huge hit.  Eric also has a background in the dot.com  business but then followed his passion to cooking.  He prepares most of the entrees while Julia focuses on the desserts. 



Mom’s Secret Chef is the answer for the nightly question  "What's for Dinner?" Their menu changes weekly so you can serve  a wide variety of dishes with the ease of just heating them up.  No messy kitchen, no dirty pots and pans. Best sellers include King Ranch Chicken, Creamy Chicken Enchiladas, Meatloaf,  beefy Cheese Macaroni  and Chicken Pot Pies Need a yummy dessert to finish off a great  meal, they have you covered; from homemade brownies, to cake pops to cakes. pies and cobbler.  The prices of the entrees average to about $4 - $6 per person. 


Mom’s Secret Chef is an excellent solution for work at home moms, stay at home moms with busy schedules, empty nesters and people that are homebound.  They have many customers that  come and pick up food for families that just had a baby, friend or family that have an illness or death, and people recovering from surgery.  It is a great gift to help out a busy family, new mom, or family member that can’t get out or cook.



When asked if they plan on expanding they said they made the decision to expand their business by adding delivery on Wednesdays.  They offer a special meal for the delivery but feel free to add on extra entrees to stock up your freezer for quick meals for when you are on the go.   They also do deliveries to businesses with orders of 20 large entrees or more.


Mom’s Secret Chef uses the freshest of ingredients.    They shop from local area markets and merchants and only use fresh produce. They only purchase as needed so they have very little waste.  They can cater for small to large gatherings, company picnics, weddings and graduation and birthday parties. They ask that you call to discuss your event and minimums may apply.
