How it works
One

A consult to learn your health goals, likes and dislikes, and any allergies or restrictions.

Two

Customized menus created for you to choose from each week.

Three

Your Cetara chef arrives with groceries, cooks, fills your fridge, and leaves the kitchen spotless.

Every household eats differently. So every menu is drawn from scratch.

Bring the complicated version.

Allergies. Post-partum. Gluten-free. High-protein.

Any dietary restriction or preference — we'll craft delicious menus around your needs.

Memberships from $350 a week.

A few questions

Who cooks my food?

A Cetara chef — trained, vetted, and matched to your household. The same one every week.

Can you handle our allergies?

Yes — as a safety matter, not a preference. Recorded in your household standard and carried to every chef who cooks for you.

What about groceries?

Billed at cost. No markup, and you see the receipt.

Where do you work?

Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Everything else, we'll cover on the consult.

Tell us about your household.

Two minutes, and it makes the consult far more useful.

We’ll go over everything in detail on the consult — this is just whatever you’d like us to know about how your household eats.

We'll be in touch within one business day.
