Food is not one-size-fits-all.
Bodies respond differently. lifestyles vary, and health needs are deeply personal. At Blue Cottage Kitchen, specialized diets are approached with care, clarity, and intention — never trends, never shortcuts.
Whether you’re following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), Paleo, Ketogenic (Keto), or another personalized dietary approach, each menu is thoughtfully designed around real ingredients, proper technique, and individual needs. The focus is always the same: nourishment that supports your body while still feeling satisfying, beautiful, and sustainable.
Seasonal & Sourced
Our food is rooted in ingredient-first philosophy, highlighting seasonal produce and thoughtfully sourced proteins from local farms and purveyors whenever possible, resulting in clean, elegant, and vibrant dishes.
Specialized Diets & Nutritional Approaches
The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is approached with a focus on inflammation reduction, gut support, and nutrient density. Meals are carefully prepared using compliant ingredients and thoughtful techniques, creating food that feels comforting, supportive, and deeply nourishing without feeling restrictive.
The Paleo Diet emphasizes whole, unprocessed foods and clean sourcing, prioritizing vegetables, quality proteins, and healthy fats. Paleo menus are designed to feel balanced and satisfying, highlighting seasonal ingredients and simple preparations that allow natural flavors to shine.
The Ketogenic (Keto) Diet is prepared with precision and care, focusing on clean fats, moderate protein, and low-carbohydrate vegetables. Meals are thoughtfully balanced to support ketosis while avoiding overly processed substitutes, resulting in food that feels rich, intentional, and sustainable.
In addition to these approaches, menus can be adapted to support a wide range of dietary needs, including gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, Whole30-style, and other personalized nutritional preferences. Each plan is tailored individually, with flexibility to evolve as needs change.
Is this right for you?
Specialized Diet Plans are welcome to all individuals, and are commonly followed by those managing autoimmune or chronic inflammatory conditions, including but not limited to:
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Lupus
Psoriasis
Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
Celiac disease
Chronic fatigue or unexplained inflammation
It can also be helpful for those experiencing persistent digestive issues, joint pain, skin conditions, or inflammation without a clear diagnosis.
That said, each diet is highly individual. What works for one person may not work for another — which is why personalization and careful reintroduction are essential parts of the process.
Why Work With a Private Chef for Diet Plans?
Navigating specialized diets on your own can be overwhelming. Reading labels, avoiding hidden ingredients, planning meals, and cooking everything from scratch takes time and energy — often when your body already feels depleted.
Working with a private chef means:
No guesswork or label reading
Fully compliant meals prepared correctly
Menus tailored to your tastes, symptoms, and phase
Reduced stress around food decisions
Consistent nourishment that supports healing
Every menu is custom built, taking into account your specific needs, preferences, and where you are in your journey.
