Meet the Creators of Village Eatinghouse We’re Clay and Melanie Phillips and together we created Village Eatinghouse products to help you feel confident and inspired in your food preparation! After 20+ years in business, we have found that our devoted customers generally fall onto one of two categories: either they are overwhelmed by food preparation OR they are looking for something inspiring and new to try in their recipes. Village Eatinghouse is the answer for those times when you want to make delicious food but you’re just stumped about the whole thing.
