Not every dinner needs to be a culinary masterpiece.

Yes, we're professional chefs.

Yes, we love creating beautiful dishes and experimenting with flavours.

But you know what else we appreciate?

A really good grilled cheese.

Perfectly scrambled eggs.

A bowl of homemade soup with fresh bread.

Or a simple roast chicken cooked just right.

Great food doesn't always need 20 ingredients, fancy techniques, or three different sauces.

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the ones you remember most.

What's your favourite simple meal that never disappoints?

Your freezer is probably full of money.

Seriously. When was the last time you actually looked at what's hiding in there?

That half bag of frozen spinach.

The chicken you bought on sale three months ago.

The container of soup you were definitely going to eat.

And let's not forget the mystery package wrapped in foil. 😂

Freezers are fantastic for reducing food waste, but only if we actually use what's in them!

A few simple habits can make a big difference:

🥘 Label and date everything. Future you will appreciate knowing what's in that container.

🥦 Freeze ingredients before they spoil. Extra herbs, vegetables, and even leftover tomato paste can all be saved for another meal.

🍗 Shop your freezer first. Before planning next week's meals, see what you already have.

🔄 Rotate your food. Move older items to the front so they don't get forgotten.

And here's a little challenge for the weekend...

Can you make one great meal using only what you already have in your freezer?

You might be surprised at what you find!

Your kitchen. Your rules. Our chefs.

Love garlic? Great.

Hate mushrooms? Gone.

Need meals that work for picky kids, dietary restrictions, or completely different tastes in the same household?

That's what we're here for.

One of the best parts of having a personal chef is that you're not choosing from someone else's weekly menu.

We're cooking for you. Not the other way around.

And when your preferences change, your menu can change right along with them.

Because personalized should actually mean personalized.

You just got at least 5+ hours of your week back.

No meal planning.

No grocery shopping.

No spending Sunday afternoon cooking for the week.

Your fridge is stocked, your meals are ready, and suddenly you've got time you didn't have before.

So here's the question...

What are you doing with those extra hours?
I did haunted mini golf with my family!

A little more family time? A hobby you've neglected? Or absolutely nothing?

We're big fans of that last option. 😉

Being a great cook doesn't automatically make you a great personal chef.

There's a big difference.

Cooking delicious food is only part of the job.

Our chefs also need to understand your preferences, respect your home, manage their time, communicate well, and adapt to the way your family eats.

That's why we're selective about who joins My Take Home Chef.

Every chef goes through our interview and trial process before joining the team.

Because when you're inviting someone into your home, you deserve more than someone who can cook.

You deserve someone you can trust.

Your chef handles the menu planning, cooking and cleanup. You enjoy the food!

She's owned restaurants in Canada & Mexico. Now she's bringing that experience into Edmonton homes.
Meet Chef Leslie, the newest addition to our Edmonton team.

Leslie brings a pretty unique combination of experience to My Take Home Chef.
She's owned and operated restaurants in both Canada and Mexico, worked extensively with menu and recipe development, and built a career around something that's incredibly important in personal chef work: understanding people.

Because cooking in someone's home isn't just about making good food.

It's about listening.

What do you love to eat?
What don't you like?
What does your family need?
What will actually make your week easier?

Leslie is also celiac herself, so she has a personal understanding of how important dietary restrictions and careful food preparation can be. It's not the focus of her cooking, but for clients navigating celiac disease, allergies or other dietary needs, it's an added level of understanding that can mean a lot.

She's organized, dependable, a great communicator and, most importantly, she makes really good food.

Welcome to the team, Chef Leslie!
Leslie is now accepting personal chef meal prep clients in Edmonton.

This is your sign to stop eating food you don't actually want.
Life is too short for sad lunches and dinners you're already bored with by Wednesday.
One of the best parts of having a personal chef?
The menu changes.
Maybe this week you want curry.
Next week it's braised beef.
Then pasta, tacos, Mediterranean, a great soup, something vegetarian, or that dish you had three months ago and haven't stopped thinking about.
Personal chef meal prep isn't about filling containers.
It's about filling your fridge with food you actually want to eat.
What would be on your menu this week?

You don't need more time.
You need fewer things taking it.
Meal planning.
Grocery shopping.
Cooking.
Cleaning up.
None of these things are particularly difficult.
They just keep coming back.
Every. Single. Week.
That's why our clients have personal chefs.
Not because they can't cook.
Because they've decided they don't need to do everything themselves.
We'll take care of the food.
