Jim and Doni Arkeilpane | Minneapolis Owners
Jim and Doni have been sharing their passion for food, health and wellness for years.
Jim has spent his entire career working in the food and beverage industry, often hand-in-hand with many top-rated restaurants across the country. This exposure inspired him to learn more about food and soon he was creating delicious meals of his own. Friends, family, and neighbors are always welcome at his table and nothing brings him more joy than sharing his craft with others and building those relationships over food. You can often find Jim at a local market selecting fresh, seasonal ingredients for that day’s creation. This passion is a perfect segue into Chefs for Seniors.
Doni, a Minneapolis native, is a registered nurse. She is a natural caregiver who has devoted her life to the health and wellness of others. Her time spent at many highly-accredited hospitals has reinforced her belief in the importance of nutrition on overall health and wellness.
This commitment has brought nutrition to the forefront of Jim’s cooking as they strive to create healthy, yet delicious alternatives to traditional favorites. No dish is complete without her seal of approval.
Together, Jim and Doni make a wonderful team and are thrilled to take on this adventure where health and delicious food collide. They look forward to the opportunity to connect with you, your palette, and your preferences.
