How it works

We are more than just a weekly personal chef. We provide food shopping services, custom menus, and culinary services.

1. Start with a Chat! We will chat about what you need. Whether you need a weekly meal service for lunch or dinner or need a self-care package as a gift for a friend or a beloved one or a ready-to-eat baked goods or charcuterie board for any special occasions or even an in-home cooking class, we can craft a special package for you.

2. If we are a good fit, we will finalize the price and the menu! You will receive a list of menu and package in your email to confirm. We will also check with you if you have a certain kitchen tools and equipment at home.

3. Make a payment and relax. After you confirm the menu and the package, we will send you an invoice to pay. After you make a payment, you can relax and get ready to be taken care of. 

Note: If a weekly meal needs to be frozen, we will be asking you to clear up your freezer.
