What is Well on Wheels?

Well on Wheels® is Connecticut's premier vegan personal chef service which provides fresh organic whole foods meals that are made from scratch, and customized and prepared for you in your own home. We specialize in vegan cuisine because we believe it is ethically and nutritionally the healthiest diet to eat.

We use ingredients that are organic, locally-sourced when in season, and minimally packaged.  We do not use any highly refined or chemically treated flours or sugars, hydrogenated oil or margarine which contain trans fatty acids, genetically modified or irradiated products.

We also offer private cooking and raw food lessons, group classes, and consulting services to help you transition to a healthier lifestyle.

"You are an amazing cook and we so enjoy the food that you make. It also makes me realize how much must be added to restaurant food to make it taste so oily, salty, sweet... Your meals were so elegantly pure and simple."
