Meet the chefs

Chef Shruti Patel

Chef Shruti Patel grew up in an eclectic food environment, with a strong footing in traditional Indian cuisine, peppered with Spanish influences. From her earliest memories of picking fresh produce to hosting dinner parties for friends and family, food has been the focal point of her upbringing and heritage.

After culinary school, Shruti got her start in catering with companies like Patina. She ran the kitchen at Tres LA boutique catering and worked under award-winning chefs at Carmelized, the Animal Restaurant Group’s catering arm. In 2017, she launched her own catering ventures, designed to give back and share her love of great food and exceptional experiences.

Chef Wendy Zeng

Born in the city of Chengdu, China, chef Wendy Zeng spent her formative years training in her grandfather’s kitchen. Immersed in the flavors and techniques of the Sichuan Province, Wendy mastered the intricacies of the region’s diverse cuisine. At the age of 10, she moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where she discovered Southern BBQ and soul food. She realized that, similar to Sichuan cuisine, Southern food is about family, history, and the dishes that bring us together.

Her culinary style weaves together the flavors and techniques of her familial roots with LA’s local influences. As the host of thematic pop-ups, she brings the values of her childhood to every table, fostering community among food lovers.

Our meals come in aluminum containers that are oven safe or you can heat up individual portions in the microwave. We will indicate which meals we highly recommend heating up in the microwave to retain the proper texture and moisture level.

As all microwaves work and reheat differently, we recommend 30-45 second increments when reheating to ensure optimal temperature is reached without overcooking.

UPDATE FROM MAMA’S KITCHEN

Isn't it funny what we get excited about these days? Not waiting hours in scorching heat in the hopes of stocking up on decent, yet inexpensive, snacks and wine at Trader Joe's sits high up on that list. Getting essentials can feel like a wild goose chase across various grocery stores, not to mention constant price fluctuations and food shortages.

Like so many, we've stocked up on pantry and freezer items to continue meal planning but variety is key to that stock up life because who wants to eat pasta salad for the third week in a row? Our mission at Mama's Gotchu has always been to inspire joy in the everyday meal and we're working on updating our product offerings to give you more flexibility and stock up options.

Keep your snack times delish and good for you with our signature dips. Bring Mama's flavors to your own kitchen with the base sauce and spices from our most popular dishes! Our packaged snacks and meal components will come ready to use in sealed bags and easy storage. Occasionally, we will release limited edition seasonal items from local farmers, including ourselves!

For now, we're switching to a limited menu available in Family Meal portions as we continue developing our packaged goodies. Order through the app this week! Thanks for your continued support. Mama loves y'all! 😘
