Livin is a personal chef service in Atlanta, Georgia and Los Angeles, California. A professional chef comes to your home, cooks a full week of meals in one session, and stocks your fridge. It is not a meal kit, a catering company, or a delivery app. Meals are cooked fresh in your kitchen and customized to your household’s tastes, allergies, and nutrition goals.

Livin will work with your nutritionist to capture the specifics of your diet and ensure your chef is appropriately equipped with that information.
Yes, and it's so worth it! As a Livin member you enjoy access to vetted local chefs and a variety of menus with dietary concerns handled. Memberships are also entirely flexible so you may pause or cancel anytime without penalty.
