Meet the Head Chef
Hi! I’m Karen. I am the founder and owner of Marble Meals. As a Certified Red Seal Chef and Nutrition Manager, I’ve honed my skills over the past 13 years at reputable establishments across the Greater Toronto Area. I’m comfortable working in hotels, restaurants, golf courses, banquet halls, but I feel at home cooking for you. I am also an avid martial arts enthusiast and regularly practice Muay Thai. I know the challenges of maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle while balancing the needs of work and home. Let me help you achieve your balance with Marble Meals.

What We're About
Before I founded Marble Meals in 2016, I saw my friends and family make compromises with their diet in order to keep up with their busy lives. I don’t think people should be sacrificing their health just to keep up with their lives. Between the gym, hockey practice and everything else in between, you have enough to worry about without having to resort to eating fast food or microwaving something frozen. At Marble Meals, we never compromise, you shouldn’t either.
Our Affiliates
We here at Marble Meals love to maintain active and healthy lifestyles, both physically and emotionally, and as such have partnered with two organizations that share our values. Whether you are stopping in for a work out, choosing to pick up your meals, just saying hi, or want to cheer up a friend York Muay Thai are firm supporters of a healthy balanced lifestyle.
What People Say About Us

Customer
I am a full time business owner and Mom and never seem to have time to cook for myself. I’m also a super picky eater and Marble Meals has great portions, lots of variety, the food tastes amazing and it is always delivered on time with a smile. I am so lucky to have found Marble Meals when I did. I have seen other meal preparation services and Marble Meals is by far the best service I have seen.

I have tried a few different meal prep companies and marble meals has by far impressed me the most. Meals always arrive on time, exceptional quality, and great value. As a gym owner it’s often tough to to find the time to meal prep and I have come to rely on marble meals for consistent quality nutrition. The owner is always open to suggestions and feedback on meals, highly recommended!
