"I am profoundly grateful for David Rich’s service to our family. He stepped in with a wealth of nutritional knowledge and phenomenal cooking skills, quickly adapting to our needs and making meals delicious despite our restrictions. His support allowed me to spend less time in the kitchen and more with my children. I couldn’t be more thankful—he is a gem of a chef and nourishment guide."

- Danielle | Acupuncturist

"After significant abdominal surgery, I needed a healing, nutritious diet. I hired David for two weeks and couldn’t be happier with the results. He meticulously prepared delicious meals like homemade bone broth, cauliflower purée, grass-fed beef stew, and sautéed vegetables. His thoughtful cooking played a key role in my recovery. I highly recommend his services to anyone who believes in the healing power of food prepared with love."

"Working with David has been easy and so worth it! He is quick to respond, and when I use his services to send meals to postpartum mamas, the feedback has been 100% exceptional. He customizes meals for extra nourishment and even delivers to their door. Cannot recommend his services enough!"

- Erin | Mother & Chiropractor

"Chef David is a joy to work with. I hired him to help me stay on a restrictive autoimmune diet, and he accommodated all my dietary requests while making the most delicious food! I came home each week to the smell of stew, soup, sweet potato biscuits, slow-cooked meats, and roasted veggies. He made my new eating program easy and enjoyable. David cooks a lot in a short time, keeps the kitchen spotless, and is very responsive. He’s a friendly, talented chef, and I highly recommend him for your next party or regular meals."

- Laura

"David has been cooking for us three days a week for nearly three years, creating delicious, inventive meals despite our many dietary restrictions—gluten-free, dairy-free, and pescatarian—and he still creates tasty, unique dishes each time. He crafts dishes from fresh, seasonal ingredients and repurposes leftovers into my favorite—David’s Friday Frittatas. His cooking is made with care, purpose, and love. We’re lucky to have him!"

- Frannie

"David made me postpartum meals, and I’m so grateful for the nourishment he provided. After giving birth in the hospital, where the food wasn’t what my body needed, I came home to warm, healing meals. I especially loved the rice congee with stewed fruit, his delicious broths and soups, and the lactation cookies that kept me going through the night. David’s food is truly food as medicine, made with love. I highly recommend him and Gather Round Cooking—especially for other moms."

- Shira | Mother
