The Story of Homemade

Not only is homemade better for you, but we believe that it tastes better too.
Let’s explore how homemade meals from our community of shefs compare to restaurant food in terms of health benefits, taste, and more.

Food Safety

Our community of shefs care deeply about the people they’re cooking for. The majority of shefs are moms that have spent years cooking for their own families, with their wellbeing front of mind. That being said, your trust is our #1 priority, so we’ve implemented strict food safety protocols to give you extra peace of mind. Read more about our food safety policy here.

Our Shefs. Our Stories.

Every Shef Has a Story!

The beauty in a homemade meal is that it has the ability to tell a story. When people cook with patience and passion, the end result is a dish that acts as a piece of artwork, a beautiful reflection of the artist who created it. Food that’s every bit as unique and interesting as the story behind the shef that made it.
