What clients say about Chef Teey
Real words from real Google reviews.
Chef T is a wonderful resource to have in our local community. The meals that she creates tantalize all taste buds with quality ingredients at an affordable price. Portions are hearty and every meal that I have had has been absolutely delicious!
Chef T did an amazing job catering a dinner for 14 of us! … Everything she made for us was gluten free, but not a drop of flavor was lost.
We had a small family gathering and everyone raved about how delicious the food was! … Everything was superb!

Your meal prep questions, answered by Chef Teey
What is in-home meal prep?
In-home meal prep means I come to your house and cook a week of fresh meals in your own kitchen. I plan the menu with you, you buy the groceries from my shopping list, and I do the cooking and the cleanup. You end up with home cooked meals that are ready to heat and eat.
How does it work if I buy the groceries?
After our free consultation, I build your menu and send you a shopping list sorted by store aisle, with exact amounts. You shop at the store you like. On cook day I arrive, cook everything fresh in your kitchen, and clean up before I leave.
How much does a meal prep chef cost in New Jersey?
The price depends on how many meals you want and how many people you are feeding, so every household gets its own quote. You get a clear price before anything is booked. Because you buy the groceries yourself, you also see exactly what your food costs.
How many meals will I get, and how long does cook day take?
Let’s decide that together during your free consultation. Tell me how many people you are feeding and how many meals you want, and I will plan the menu and the cook day around that.
Can you cook for allergies and special diets?
Absolutely. Gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, low carb, food allergies, and picky eaters are all welcome. Every menu is built around your household.
Do I need special equipment or containers?
Just a normal home kitchen. Before cook day I will tell you exactly what to have on hand, so there are no surprises.
Do you clean the kitchen when you are done?
Yes. I clean up before I leave, so your kitchen is spotless and your fridge is full.
Which areas of New Jersey do you serve?
I cook in homes all over New Jersey, including Morris, Essex, Bergen, Passaic, Union, Sussex, Hudson, and Somerset counties. If you do not see your town on this page, just ask.
How far ahead should I book?
As soon as you know the week you want. Spots fill up, especially around holidays, so reach out early.
Can I also hire you for a dinner party?
Yes. I also cook private chef dinner parties for 2 to 25 guests. See my private chef dinners page for menus and pricing.
