About Chef Elizabeth Willard:

What began in 2006 as Lucia’s Personal Chef Service-a solo endeavor inspired by Chef Liz’s great-grandmother and her passion for using organic, home-grown ingredients-has grown into The Pickled Beet, one of Florida’s most trusted names in culinary services that leads with purpose and a commitment to its clients’ health.

“The Pickled Beet is first class,” says client Javy L. “Their food is delicious and healthy and they work with you to create a menu that is suited just for you and your family. ”

Chef Liz’s own healing journey through food when she suffered with the autoimmune disease, Hashimoto’s, inspires her to accommodate even the most severe food allergies and medical maladies with delicious meals in Miami’s only dedicated Gluten Free facility.

“In 2017, I started working with a functional practitioner who specialized in autoimmune disorders. The first thing he did was change my diet, removing gluten, dairy, soy, and any ingredients to which I was sensitive. The symptoms I had been experiencing – brain fog, fatigue, bloating, headaches, insomnia – almost completely abated after about three weeks,” says Chef Liz. “It was then that I realized the powerful healing ability of ‘food as medicine’ and a diet tailored to one’s specific needs. I was so impressed, I decided to rebrand my company and refocus our mission to use food as medicine. In 2018, 12 years after I launched my company, the new brand The Pickled Beet was launched.”

Chef Liz understands how difficult life can be when facing the challenges of living with special dietary needs such as severe food allergies, food sensitivities/intolerances, or medical conditions requiring strict protocols. She ensures The Pickled Beet accommodates any diet or lifestyle, such as: Celiac disease, Anti-Inflammatory, Alkaline, Keto, Paleo, Vegan, Mediterranean, Postpartum, Autoimmune Protocol, Low FODMAP, Weight Loss, and more.

Personal Chef Services/ Custom Weekly Meals: Whether clients live in South Florida year-round, split their time between homes, or visit for vacations or medical treatments, it can be challenging to find fresh, quality meals that truly fit specific tastes, lifestyle, and dietary requirements. The Pickled Beet’s personalized culinary chefs provide custom weekly meals tailored to all dietary needs and preferences.

“We are committed to sourcing organic, wild-caught and grass-fed ingredients, such as freshly harvested produce from organic farmers, fish caught by local South Florida fishermen, and grass-fed beef and lamb flown in from small American family ranches,” says Chef Liz. “Not only does sourcing organic, wild-caught, grass-fed and local food support the health and wellbeing of our clients, it supports our economy and the health of our planet.”

Flight attendants planning the meal have the option of requesting dishes off-menu or they can choose from a full menu of fine dining cuisine that The Pickled Beet chefs can customize to accommodate any taste preferences or dietary restrictions, helping guests stick to their healthy lifestyle mid-flight and entertain their family or business partners.
