Our clients are often shocked by our prices. Specifically, their eyebrows go up when they find out how affordable it is to have your own personal chef come cook in your home! We charge $44 an hour, plus the cost of food. Note: We do not cover the cost of groceries and other extra necessities for preparing and/or packaging the meals. You’ll need to have a payment supplied up front in the form of card or cash, whichever you’re most comfortable with.
What to Expect
Menu/Recipe Creation
A chef will come to your location and sit down with you to create a meal plan that addresses your nutritional needs, your budgetary goals, your lifestyle choices, and your favorite foods!
Ingredient Shopping
Once the meal plan is agreed upon, we’ll have an ingredient list of what you have on hand and what needs to be purchased. On cooking day, we’ll pick up the extras on the way to your kitchen.
Individual Prepared Meals
Kansas City, Leawood, Shawnee, Blue Springs—people all across the metroplex have meals prepared by personal chefs in their own kitchens, packaged however they need them.
Our Recipe for Success
It all starts with a MyChef KC consultation. This 1-on-1 allows your chef to get to know you, your kitchen, and the food you need and love.

Your personal chef can absolutely create meals and snacks that fit your diet! We have tons of experience with diets—diabetic, keto, organic, vegetarian, weight loss, heart healthy, and more.

The answer depends on how you need them to be packaged. We can use what you have on hand, or we can pick up the type of packaging you would prefer when we shop for the ingredients. You’ll want to consider whether you prefer to keep the meals fresh in the refrigerator or would rather freeze them for future use.
As a professional in the food handling and preparation industry, your MyChef KC home chef will be happy to make recommendations that will help you get the best results.
MyChef KC does have a contract outlining our meal prep service in Kansas City. We do that so that, as you and your personal chef create amazing menus and food to fit your situation, we are fully transparent about all costs and yummy expectations.
That being said, unlike other services, we do not charge any sign-up fees, nor do we charge you if you wish to end service! You can even take a week off if you’re on vacation or sick—without incurring fees or having to pay for a week you didn’t use. We do ask for a 48-hour notice if at all possible for cancellations.
