Testimonials

  • “Gen was able to pinpoint my level of comfort and patience in the kitchen to craft a meal plan that was tasty but also realistic. As someone with very few instincts in the kitchen, I appreciated both substitution notes and prep suggestions.”

    - Christina B, Teacher

  • “I really enjoyed my meal plan from Gen! The process was great and felt very personalized. Gen asked me lots of good questions about my daily habits, preferences, and goals, and the plan reflected those well. I am adding all of the meals to my regular rotation. I also learned a lot about myself, most notably that I function better with a plan. It really makes a difference in how much I am able to cook for myself during busy or stressful times.”

    - Jenn K, Video Editor

  • “Other meal plans focus on dinner recipes, but that meal wasn’t my problem. Gen helped me find nutritious, easy and delicious breakfasts to start the day. She also helped me find lunch recipes fit for 1-2 people so I wasn’t stuck eating leftovers for lunch all the time.”

    - Susannah B, Graphic Designer

  • “Thanks to Chef Gen's help, the stress of planning out what to eat this week is gone! I'm saving money on groceries because I'm only buying what I need, and I'm eating healthier because I'm not resorting to takeout. She provides recipes that are delicious and easy to follow - even for a novice cook like me. What I love most is how customizable it is – a quick chat with Chef Gen allowed me to specify my likes/dislikes, diet specifications, and nutritional goals. It's like having a personal chef and nutritionist in my pocket! This has truly simplified my life and brought joy back to mealtime. I can't recommend it enough!”

    - Dana T, Office Manager
