Teo is amazing! She is so kind and makes delicious food. And, she always leaves the kitchen cleaner than she found it. I highly recommend.

Chef Kenneth did a fantastic job cooking for our entire family. He showed up early to get set up, brought his own cooking equipment and utensils, made us feel very comfortable as he talked through the dishes, and cleaned up afterwards to make sure the kitchen was spotless. The dishes he cooked were so delicious that we couldn't stop eating them and even our toddler kept asking for more. Excited to keep booking Chef Kenneth in the future!

Ken was a 10/10- timely communication beforehand, I didn't add my recipes until the day of but he was able to review them and nailed both, finished in time and left my kitchen spotless! His Tikka Masala recipe was a huge hit, would definitely recommend. Will be booking again

FAQs

100% yes. Frances is like a matchmaker: she suggests chefs, you pick who to meet, then she makes the intro.
Most families of four spend about $200 a week. That covers the chef's time plus groceries and yields 16 servings (4 meals of 4 servings each), roughly $12.50 per serving.

Your number moves with what you want to eat: king crab costs more than imitation crab. Tell Frances your target per meal or per week and she'll match you to chefs and menus that fit.
As often as you like. Most people book weekly, but you can also do a one-off dinner or event.
Yes. Chefs typically cook a few meals at once that you can eat now or save for later.
In your kitchen. Your chef cooks, puts the food away, and cleans up after themself before leaving.
Frances does. She builds the grocery list for your order and can put it in an Instacart cart. We just ask you to place the grocery order so everything's waiting when your chef arrives.
