Offloading your home-cooking to a personal chef lets you focus on your career & family

Being the busy person you are, the last thing you want to worry about is cooking logistics…but a home-cooked meal is exactly what you’d love. The deliveries you grab when time is short are a far cry from your ideal. And those versions of HelloFresh or ready-made gourmet meals? They don’t give the customization that’s so important to your health, goals, and mind. 

But there’s a better way:

Getting fully personalized meals, cooked by a chef in your home, who also handles the shopping, preparing, and cleaning week after week. What’s our recipe? You save your time + get perfect, home-cooked meals through the week.

Always have healthy, custom-to-you meals
freshly ready in your fridge

— Your Difference With Us —

Saving you from the logistics of grocery shopping to cleaning

Whether you’re a busy professional, CEO, athlete, or family, your time is too precious to spend it on the A-Z of food prep. Let one of our chefs handle the menu planning, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and careful packing—before leaving your kitchen sparkling clean. 

Arriving with a smile, leaving you with a fridge full of meals

No chef egos here. Our process of bringing chefs onto our team is about finding genuinely friendly, personable professionals—who you feel comfortable having around cooking in your home. Because it’s not just a matter of convenience and customization, but a service that enhances your lifestyle.

Your weekly personal chef, scheduled at your convenience

You’re the director here. Of course, within your chef’s available schedule, you tell us days and times that are best for you to have them over—and how regularly you want them to visit (with a minimum of once a week). Typically, our clients choose between 1-3 visits a week, but it’s 100% custom to you

Fully personalizing your meals, while making sure they’re delicious

From your years of trial-and-erroring foods, you know what works best for you. Whether you’re on a version of Keto, Paleo, are Vegan, or have any kind of allergies: you tell us your exact preferences, and our chefs will creatively prepare meals full of nutrition and flavor, all to the T.


  • “The food rivaled any restaurant we’ve ever been to”

    “We found Olivia's Kitchens from a referral and hired a private chef for a family celebration. Our chef was truly incredible! She made an amazing Asian-inspired meal that was perfect for our celebration. The food rivaled any restaurant we've ever been to and it was such a fun experience to bring to our family. We will definitely work with Olivia's Kitchens again!”

  • “It was really good value”

    “Olivia's Kitchens are amazing! We used the meal-prep service and were very satisfied. Our chef really took the time to get to know us and understand our unique dietary needs and tastes. She arrived each week on time, efficiently prepared several meals (our house smelled amazing!) and cleaned everything before she left. For all of that, I expected to pay a lot more, but it was really a good value.”

  • “She nursed me back to health”

    “Chef Lucie is a godsend. She nursed me back to health with her wealth of knowledge, culinary talents, and spiritual wisdom. Each week, the menu was delicious and nutritious. I'm having to stop family members from stealing my food!! I can't thank Chef Lucie and Olivia's Kitchens enough!!”



Making real, whole foods so delicious

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Easy. You choose your preferred day(s) and time, and aligning with our chef’s schedule, you’ll both agree on when they come over to prepare your home-cooked food. Want to change it the following week? Just let us know. 

  • Not at all! We often make arrangements with clients so our chefs can safely come in and take care of all the cooking and cleaning while they're busy at work. So once you’re back: you’ll have a fridge full of dream meals, beautifully ready for you. 

  • Before we start (and after your matched chef comes over for an in-home consultation) you’ll receive a service contract to sign. Ultimately, you’ll be forming a relationship with a chef who knows your preferences fully. And for that, we ask for 6 weeks for you to try the experience, and 4 weeks of notice if you ever want to cancel.

  • Oh, you bet! We’re notorious for sneaking in vegetables in creative (and delicious!) ways to get picky toddlers to eat their best. And for extra tiny humans: we make organic fruit and vegetable purees that caringly support their growth. 

  • It’ll absolutely do. We’ve cooked in kitchens big and small, and as long as you have standard cooking equipment, our chef will come in and do what they do best. 

  • Yes we can, and we’ll be sure to match you with a chef who can do so. A thing to bear in mind: it does take extra time—which will go towards the hourly-rated cost of the service.
