Weekly At-Home Meal Prep
A chef comes to your kitchen every week or every other week, cooks, and portions your meals in one visit. You choose how many: a few dinners or a couple of weeks' worth.
Launching in the South Bay & Peninsula
A personal chef cooking in your own kitchen.
Whether you cook every night or never get the chance, a little help goes a long way.
A vetted chef cooks in your kitchen and portions and labels everything before leaving. Book a single dinner, a stretch of weeknight meals, or a standing visit — one person or a full table.
How it works
1. Tell us what you need
Meals, portions, and anything you don't eat.
2. Get matched with a vetted chef
Someone who cooks the food you want.
3. The chef cooks, you eat well
Meals are portioned and labeled before they leave.
What our chefs offer
Freezer Fill
A chef cooks soups, braises, and other dishes that freeze well, then packs and labels them so you have meals ready to heat for weeks.
Prep-Ahead Components
A chef makes the sauces, marinates the proteins, chops the vegetables, and cooks the grains. Dinner takes you about 15 minutes to put together.
Special Occasions & Holidays
A chef cooks and serves a full meal in your home for a birthday, a brunch, a holiday dinner, or a party.
Sound familiar?
“We both work, and dinner is takeout again.”
Weeknights get eaten up by commutes, practices, and late meetings. A chef comes once a week and leaves dinners ready, so you're heating instead of cooking at 7pm.

“The kids eat one thing, we eat another.”
Your chef can make a mild version for the kids and something with more heat for you, all in the same visit. You tell them what each person likes.

“We have a baby on the way.”
Book a visit in the last few weeks before your due date. You'll come home to a freezer full of real meals for the first stretch, when nobody has time to cook.

“I want to make sure Mom is eating well.”
Your parent lives nearby but doesn't cook much anymore. A chef can cook in their kitchen every week or two and leave meals portioned for one or two, while you handle the booking.

“I like to cook. I just don't have time to prep.”
A chef handles the chopping, marinating, and sauces. You still cook dinner yourself, but it takes 15 minutes.

“We're hosting this year.”
Thanksgiving for 14, a 40th birthday, or a graduation brunch. A chef cooks and serves in your home so you can be with your guests.
