Questions & answers

Everything you'd liketo know.

How private chef service works, who our chefs are, and what to expect in your home. If you don't see your question, we're one message away.

Getting started

How does A Perfect Fit work?

It starts with a short consultation about your household, tastes, health goals and schedule. We match you with a private chef who plans your menu with you, shops for every ingredient, cooks in your kitchen, then stores everything and resets the kitchen before leaving.

What happens during the consultation?

It is a relaxed conversation about how you like to eat and what would make your week easier: household size, allergies, dietary approach, favorite cuisines and the days that work best. We walk you through the options and pricing that fit, with no obligation.

How soon can we get started?

As soon as your chef is matched and your first menu is set. Timing depends on chef availability in your city, and we will give you a clear start date during your consultation.

Your chef

Who are your chefs?

Our team includes Culinary Institute of America and Le Cordon Bleu graduates, registered dietitians, and chefs from fine-dining restaurants, five-star hotels and private estates. Every chef is vetted and trained to our standard before they cook in a client's home.

How do you choose my chef?

We match on training, temperament and schedule, not on who happens to be free. If your household has specific needs, such as medical nutrition, performance goals or young children, we pair you with a chef whose background fits.

Will I have the same chef each time?

Yes. Your chef is dedicated to your household, with time reserved for you on your regular schedule, and learns your preferences with every visit. Keep your service consistent and that same chef stays with you. If your chef is ever unavailable, we arrange trusted coverage.

Do I need to be home while my chef cooks?

No. Many clients are at work or out for the day. We agree on access and any house preferences during onboarding, and your chef will treat your home with the same discretion either way.

Food & nutrition

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary needs?

Absolutely. We regularly cook for food allergies and for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, keto, paleo, heart-healthy and diabetic-friendly plans, as well as physician recommendations. Allergies are captured in your profile and honored in every menu.

Do you offer nutrition counseling?

Yes. Our registered dietitians build a plan around your goals or health needs, and your chef cooks that plan into meals you will look forward to. It is nutrition guidance you can actually eat.

Do you cook for clients taking GLP-1 medication?

Yes. For clients on GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, our registered dietitian and your chef plan smaller, protein-forward portions, gentle dishes for the days appetite is low and plenty of hydrating foods, all in step with your physician's guidance. We never prescribe or adjust medication.

Who decides what's on the menu?

You and your chef, together. Your chef proposes a menu based on your preferences and the season, you make any changes, and it evolves as your tastes and goals do.

Do you cook for athletes and performance goals?

Yes. We have cooked for professional athletes and professional sports teams. Meals are built around your training load, competition calendar and recovery, and can be coordinated with your coach or dietitian.

In your home

Who buys the groceries?

Your chef does. They shop for every ingredient so you never have to, choosing quality, seasonal produce and proteins. We explain exactly how groceries are billed during your consultation.

What do I need to provide?

Just a working kitchen. Your chef handles the shopping, cooking, storage and kitchen reset, and will let you know if anything specific would help.

How do I enjoy the food after my chef leaves?

Your chef stores everything in your kitchen the way you like it, with simple serving notes, so dinner is easy whenever you are ready.

Do you clean up afterward?

Every time. Your chef leaves your kitchen as clean as they found it, often cleaner.

Scheduling & pricing

How much does a private chef cost?

Pricing depends on your household size, how often your chef cooks and the menus you choose. After your consultation we share a clear proposal tailored to your home, so you know exactly what to expect.

How often will my chef come?

Most clients choose weekly or every-other-week service, and we are happy to talk through other rhythms during your consultation. Your day and time are set in advance and held for you, which is what lets us keep a dedicated chef in your kitchen.

What if I need to skip a visit?

Just let us know in advance. Planned breaks for travel or holidays are no problem, and your chef’s time stays reserved for you. If skips become frequent or a pause runs long, we may need to offer that time to another household, and we will work with you on the best next step.

Events & entertaining

Do you cook for dinner parties and events?

Yes. Our private entertaining service covers intimate dinners, celebrations and gatherings, with a personalized menu, in-home preparation, beautiful presentation and full cleanup.

Locations

Where do you offer service?

We currently serve St. Louis, Dallas, Houston, Nashville and Austin. If you live somewhere else, tell us. We are growing and would love to hear from you.
