Your menu will be fully customised on a daily basis by your Private Chef.
Menu examples
Your menu will be fully customised based on your requirements by a private chef. The two menus below are illustrative, drawn from the kind of week a CHEFIN chef typically plans; final dishes are confirmed with your chef, not selected from a fixed list.
These are the adult dishes. For children under 8, your chef prepares a milder, family-friendly version of the same meal, the same herb-crusted chicken without the chilli glaze, so the whole family eats together rather than cooking a separate kids’ dinner.

FAQ
How much does a week actually cost, and what do I get for it?
Every delivery covers up to 3 days of meals. Order exactly 3 days and that’s one delivery — $792 (3 × $264). Order 4 to 7 days and we split it across two deliveries to keep everything fresh, adding a flat $95 to your total — for example, a 5-day week is $1,320 (5 × $264) plus the $95 second-delivery fee, for a total of $1,415. Need more than a week? From day 8 onward, it moves to a custom quote from our concierge team — built the same way, just repeating this same 3-day-minimum, two-delivery pattern for each additional week.
What if there are more than 4 of us, or my kids are older?
This package is set up for 2 adults and 2 kids under 8. Extra meal portions can be added at $45 per meal. For a bigger household, older kids who need adult-sized portions, or any other portion-size configuration, contact our concierge team and we’ll put together a custom quote.
Is this a one-off, or an ongoing service?
Whichever suits you. Book a single week if you want to try it first, or set up an ongoing weekly service, like a subscription but with no lock-in contract. You can move between the two whenever you like.
What if I want to skip a week or stop altogether?
A single week doesn’t continue after it, so there’s nothing to cancel. If you’re on ongoing service, tell your concierge you’d like to skip a week or stop, and they’ll sort it.
What happens once my booking is confirmed?
After booking, you’ll receive confirmation along with a brief questionnaire about your food preferences, dietary needs and any special requests, so your meal plan for the week is settled before your chef’s first visit.
Can the menu be tailored to my dietary needs?
Yes. Your menu is planned specifically around you, not pulled from a standard rotation, whether that’s vegetarian, vegan, high-protein or something else entirely.
How does CHEFIN choose the chef who prepares my meals?
We match a screened private chef to your suburb, cuisine preference and dietary requirements.
Do I need to be home when the meals are delivered or prepared?
Most clients aren’t. Your chef shops, cooks and packs the meals in your kitchen during the day, then leaves everything labelled and ready for the fridge.
Perfect For
- Two working parents who want a proper dinner on the table without either of them cooking it
- Families with young kids under 8 trying to avoid a 6pm meltdown over what’s for dinner
- Households managing a child’s dietary needs, without cooking two separate meals every night
- New parents who need a week of real food without leaving the house
- Anyone recovering from surgery, illness or a new baby who needs a week of proper meals without the effort
Weekly Meal Prep & Delivery Across Australia
CHEFIN’s weekly meal prep runs across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with chefs matched to your suburb rather than driving in from across the city. Search “private chef meal prep near me” and you’ll find CHEFIN chefs already cooking in kitchens like yours, whether that’s a Bondi apartment or a Brisbane hills family home.
Why Pay a Private Chef for Meal Prep?
What you are getting for a working week from us is more than a meal-kit box, and more than a tray of ready-made meals delivered chilled from a central kitchen. It should be. A meal kit still leaves you at the stove most nights. A ready-made meal was cooked days ago, sealed, and trucked in, so by Thursday you’re eating something that spent a long week in a truck. CHEFIN sends an actual chef into your kitchen separate times that week, cooking fresh each visit, so Wednesday’s dinner was cooked on Wednesday, not the Sunday before. You’re not paying more for the same thing, packaged nicer. You’re paying for a different thing entirely: two kids under 8 eating a real, freshly cooked dinner alongside the adults, five nights a week, without anyone in the house standing at the stove.
What “chef-prepared” actually means
Here’s a real difference between food that’s mass-produced and frozen for a national supply chain, and a small batch of meals a chef cooks fresh for your household alone. A CHEFIN chef shops for your order and cooks it fresh, then delivers it chilled — not frozen, and not shipped from a distribution centre. Each batch covers just a few days, not a week-long shelf life built around mass production.
Meal prep without the Sunday afternoon
Home meal prep usually means a Sunday spent shopping, chopping and portioning six containers of the same rice bowl. CHEFIN’s version keeps the convenience of meals ready in the fridge with no weeknight cooking, and swaps out the sameness for a menu that changes with your chef’s ideas each week.
Why more households are outsourcing the week’s cooking
Grocery prices haven’t made cooking cheaper, and the return of home meal prep as a healthy-eating habit hasn’t made it faster. What’s changed is who’s doing the cooking: more households are handing the weekly shop and cook to someone else entirely, the same way they’d outsource cleaning, and keeping the sit-down meal without the Tuesday-night effort.
