Why book a chef in Nob Hill

Six reasons households in Nob Hill keep re-booking.

Flat per-session pricing

Three meal-prep tiers and a custom event tier. No hourly meter, no surprise grocery receipts at the end.

Groceries included

Your chef sources everything fresh the morning of and arrives ready to cook. You don't lift a finger — unless it's to refill the wine.

Allergy-aware menus

Every menu can be swapped for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, or nut-free. We confirm with the chef before prep starts.

Kitchen left spotless

Cleanup is part of the price — counters wiped, dishes done, trash out. The kitchen leaves cleaner than we found it.

Same-week booking

Weeknights are usually bookable 48 hours out. Recurring meal prep can be locked in for the same chef every week.
