How can you get a personal chef in 2024?
In 2024, accessing a personal chef to cook your everyday meals is possible. Meal kits and meal delivery are everywhere, coupons from colleagues and friends are at your disposal. While a simple solution, we recognize that these options may not be for everyone.
Personal chefs may seem like a luxury service that you could only dream of. Affordable personal chef services are on the rise and here is exactly how to get one:
1. Online Platforms
Utilize online platforms and websites that connect individuals with personal chefs. Websites like Easy Platter, TakeAChef, or Thumbtack can be excellent starting points.
2. Select Your Plan
Assess your family's eating habits and see how many meals you need per week. Do you have activities 4/7 nights? Do you need packed lunches for you and the kids? Want a delectable breakfast for the weekend so that you can get an extra hour of sleep? By reflecting on what your family needs you will be able to better select your plan.
3. Pick Your Schedule
Take a look at your calendar, what day works best for you? Picking a day and time that consistently works for you will help when establishing this new routine for you and your family. On average, the chef will spend 3 hours at your home. During the initial visit, we recommend you be home to meet your chef, after that you don’t need to be home.
4. Set Your Preferences
Select the cuisines you are drawn to and perhaps mix in a new one every few weeks! Set your dietary restrictions such as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, or low-carb. Is this a cemented diet you follow or is it something you are working towards?
5. Provide Preferred Recipe Method
Would you prefer to add your own recipes? With this option, you can upload any recipe link from online, select recipes from cookbooks, or from your own recipes at home. You can also have your chef prepare meals based on what you already have at home. Looking to work through your freezer or have veggies you need cooked? This is a great option for Costco members who are used to buying items in bulk and need to find a way to use them before going bad. Lastly, you can choose recipes from the over 4000 options in our database, broken into 6 categories: Vegan, Diabetes-friendly, High protein, Gluten-free, Family friendly, Budget-friendly and Weekly picks.
6. Checkout and Enjoy!
Checkout and wait for your chef to arrive on your preferred date and time. Heart your favourite chef-prepared recipes on your account and monitor your OWL score to stay on track.
