  • The onesie pile

    They have forty of them. What they don't have is dinner on a Wednesday in week three.

  • The meal train cliff

    Casseroles for two weeks, then silence. The hungriest stretch starts right when the visitors stop.

  • You can't be there

    You'd cook for them every night if you could. A gifted chef is the next closest thing.

The gift is the week they don't cook.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

  • How do I gift chef service to new parents?

    Set it up in a few minutes: choose the number of weeks, add their address, and we coordinate the rest with them directly. You can time it for the week they come home or the week the meal train ends.

  • What if I don't know their food preferences?

    You don't need to. The new parents pick their own meals and share any allergies before the first visit.

  • Is this better than a meal delivery gift card?

    It's a different thing. A vetted chef cooks fresh in their kitchen and cleans up. No boxes, no packaging pile, no decisions at 6pm with a newborn on one arm.

  • Can a group chip in together?

    Yes. A gifted month of chef service splits well across a friend group or grandparents. Reach out and we'll set it up.

  • When should the service start?

    The sweet spot is weeks two through eight, right as the casseroles run out. You pick the start, and they can shift it if plans change.

Be the gift they talk about at the one-year mark.

A vetted chef cooks in their kitchen every week you gift. Shopping, cooking, cleanup, handled.

Everyone else sent something to wear. You sent the week they got to just be parents.
