When I was cooking full-time, I met chefs who were brilliant in the kitchen but heartbroken outside of it; missing their kids' soccer games, searching for ways to cook for real families on their own time instead of restaurant rushes. When I met parents, I saw the other side: chicken nuggets in the car on the way to those same games, wishing for something better but too stretched to make it happen.

Eat Cook Joy is what happens when both worlds finally meet. We pair chefs who crave agency with parents who crave peace. Your chef learns what you actually want to eat: the allergies, the picky eaters, the health goals, and the crowd pleasers. It results in fridges stocked with food your kids request by name, laughter instead of chaos, and gratitude instead of guilt. Your chef walks in, your kids clap, you exhale, and dinner becomes what it was meant to be: time well spent.
