Meal planning, finally personal
Your household’s
weekly meal plan
You love to cook. You just don’t have time to figure out what. Sous Chef learns your household, builds your week, and handles the grocery list.
Two plans free — no card needed.
Five dinners. One trip to the market.
— and zero meal kits.
How it works
Four steps. Then dinner.
Tell us about your table
Who eats what, what you love, what's off limits, where you like to shop. The more Sous Chef knows, the better the plan gets.
Get your week
A full week of recipes tailored to your family, your pantry, and what's in season. No repeats. No guesswork.
Shop where you want to shop
One clean grocery list, organized by aisle. Take it to the farmers market, the co-op, the grocery store, or the butcher — no boxes, no laminated cards.
Walk into the kitchen
Recipe cards with steps, timing, and a Chef's Note explaining the technique. Everything you need to walk in and cook — nothing you don't.
Built for your household
Real recipes. Real food. Planned for your table.

Sous Chef
A conversation, not a form.
Tell Sous Chef Thursday is busy. Ask for a French dish on Wednesday. Say “mostly American comfort.” The plan moves with you.
“Thursday’s busy — something fast. Work a French dish in somewhere.”
“Wednesday: French onion–braised chicken. Thursday: a 25-min herb butter pasta.”
Tonight, not someday
Your first two meal plans are on us. Let’s plan them.
Two plans free. No card needed. The complete experience, with your real household.
Your household
It handles the complicated part.
The picky kid and the adventurous adult
Two different menus in one plan. Same cooking session.
The dairy-free partner, the gluten-free parent
Restrictions tracked per person. Nothing gets missed.
Packed Tuesdays, slow Sundays
It knows which nights get a 25-minute meal and which ones get a project.
We stopped fighting at 5pm about what to make. That alone was worth it. The food being good is the bonus.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
What is Sous Chef?+
Sous Chef is a personalized meal planning app that learns your household through conversation and builds a full week of dinners and lunches tailored to your family's tastes, dietary restrictions, and schedule.
How is Sous Chef different from a recipe app?+
Sous Chef doesn't give you a library to browse — it builds a plan for your specific household. It knows your members, their dietary restrictions, what cuisines you love, and how much time you have on weeknights. The plan changes every week based on what you want and what worked before.
How is Sous Chef different from a meal kit like HelloFresh?+
Meal kits send you a box of pre-portioned ingredients with recipes. Sous Chef plans your meals and grocery list — you shop how you want, including farmers markets and specialty stores. There's no box, no packaging, and no rotation of the same six proteins every few weeks.
Does Sous Chef handle dietary restrictions?+
Yes — per household member. Sous Chef tracks allergies (with severity), intolerances, religious restrictions, and medical dietary needs for each person in your household. It never suggests a meal that conflicts with a stored restriction.
Is there a free version of Sous Chef?+
Your first two meal plans are on us. No card needed. After that, Free includes one plan every 30 days, or Premium gives you unlimited weekly planning.
What does Sous Chef cost?+
Sous Chef is $12.99/month billed monthly, or $99.99/year (which works out to $8.33/month — save 36%). Your first two meal plans are always free, no card required.
