Paste a recipe, get a price.
Ingredients and steps, however you have them written. We'll come back with a price in seconds, plus portioning options and a few ways to bring the cost down.
How to get an accurate quote
- Include quantities. “2 lbs chicken thighs” prices accurately. “Chicken” doesn't. Rough amounts are fine — we'll ask if something's unclear.
- Check your serving count is correct. You can adjust this after getting the initial price.
- Keep your cooking steps in. They tell us the method, the equipment, and the labor. A braise and a sheet-pan dinner with identical ingredients don't cost the same.
- Name what's non-negotiable. If it has to be San Marzano tomatoes or your grandmother's specific sausage, say so. If you're flexible, say that too! Flexibility is where we find savings for you.
- Flag allergens and restrictions up front. Not for pricing, but so we don't suggest a swap that doesn't work for you.
- Don't worry about formatting. Screenshots-turned-text, half-sentences, metric, imperial, a link with a note are all fine.
Making it reheat well
Paste your recipe exactly as you'd cook it at home. Don't adapt anything for delivery — that's our job. You'll see anything we're planning listed with your quote.
Meals that sit overnight behave differently than meals eaten straight off the stove. So we make small adjustments as we cook, all aimed at one thing: the dish should taste the way it does when you make it, at the moment you reheat it — not at the moment it left our kitchen.
Your recipe
There is a $40 minimum per recipe. Any single recipe we cook is billed at $40 or the calculated price, whichever is higher — it covers the shopping, setup and cleanup that happen no matter how small the batch.
Delivery is included in the quoted price.
How many servings?
How should we pack it?
Portioning is slower and uses more containers, so it costs a little more. Bulk is cheaper and you divide it up at home.

Order more, pay less per serving
Setup, shopping and cleanup happen once however much you order — so the per-serving price drops as the batch grows. Pick a size to update your quote.
