You are the reason why we are here...
Where does Sterling Cuisine Deliver?
Our service area includes: Orange County, Los Angeles County, Ventura County
and parts of Santa Barbara up to Goleta. We will deliver to your home,
office or specified location.
Is our food delivered frozen?
Absolutely not, unless you ordered ice-cream or a frozen dessert. We pride
ourselves in using the highest quality of fresh foods, so we wouldn’t
dare freeze it. We have two delivery cycles per week to ensure the freshness
of our food. In fact, our food wouldn’t freeze well if we tried.
Because our foods lack preservatives, stablizers, sodium and bad fats,
our dishes do not freeze and re-heat well at all.
What is your delivery schedule?
Depending on the service you are requesting, a specific event, a consistent
schedule or an individual meal plan, please visit our Delivery link to
find out further information.
Do you have a suggested way to serve a meal?
After you have reheated your entrée, we recommend you plate it.
We’d like our entrees to be enjoyed as if you’d cooked them!
And more than likely, you don’t eat out of plastic ware.
If this is a catered meal, depending on the event’s specifics (time of year, location, occasion, type of meal, theme) we can help you with creative ideas. Please give us a call at the number mentioned at the top of the page to discuss your event.
For our Intensive Out-Patient Program clients, we will provide you with heating instructions – so there’s no guessing. We strongly advise after warming to place each serving on nice plates with silverware for your patients.
What should I do with the containers after I am finished?
When finished, the container can easily be recycled, or leave them for
us to pick up on the next delivery and we will recycle them.
What if I need to ascertain my weight questions?
If you need to lose weight – we will create a diet plan for you based
on your caloric requirements. From there, we will craft a calorie count
formulated from grams of food, specifically based on your weight goals.
If you need to maintain your ideal weight – we will create a diet plan formulated to your needs, so you always maintain your necessary calorie intake regimented to your desires.
If you are trying to gain weight/lose weight and you are an IOP graduate, we can mold a plan with the basic principles your dietician has you on. We can help assist you in the transition of having to cook for yourself. You can enjoy the same menu items you had at your center in the comfort of your home.
What is a Calorie Count?
When someone is trying to lose weight, or maintain a specific weight, they
will have a calorie count for a day to stay within their own mandated
guidelines. We will craft a full days of entrees and snacks based on
your needs, be it weight loss or weight management diet. We can also
bring our nutritionist aboard; to make sure you are doing exactly what
you need to do, in terms of exercise and nutrition.
Is there a minimum order, and is there a minimum length of time I must
use the service?
For our Catering service, depending on the type of event a quantity of
people can vary. Because we do a variety of types of catering this will
