ABOUT US
We started Tasty Tactics with one goal in mind: help solve meal planning and cooking challenges for everyday people. Our innovative, fully automated CHeat SHEET meal planners have enabled us to help individuals and families reduce food waste, enhance culinary skills and look forward to meals they are excited about, every day of the week!
We are a team of restaurateurs and professional chefs, who are passionate about food. We take restaurant principals and teach you how to utilize them in your home kitchen.
Tasty Tactics was founded by Chef Melody Elkin in 2021 in order to apply her passion for teaching to help individuals and families on their food journey.
Melody Elkin, Chef Consultant
In partnership with her husband, Todd Elkin, Melody founded Sweetest Season Bakery, Sweetest Season Artisan Eatery, Bodega, and Local Food Fight, all headquartered in Arizona. Tasty Tactics' first clinical partnership was with a health and wellness program tailored for obese teenagers in Paradise Valley, Arizona. There, Melody served as a clinical chef consultant, creating macros-based meals, meal plans and culinary curriculums. From that experience, Chef Elkin realized how critical it was to educate patients in order to support their lifelong journey through weight management. Now she offers consultancy programs directly to clients, dietitians, nutritionists and personal trainers nation wide.
Tasty Tactics has grown to include a team of culinary professionals who offer an array of services to clients, including clinical meal planning, recipe development, recipe testing, cooking courses, group training and education.
