One day of cooking. A full week of dinners already made.

How it works

The private-chef experience, on a weekly rhythm.

You're matched with one chef who learns your taste and your dietary needs, then returns each week. The routine is what makes it affordable.

Match

Meet your chef

We pair you with a chef who fits your taste and schedule. Once you're happy, they're yours.

Plan

Shape the menu

Settle each week's menu together — built around your tastes, your allergies, and any way you need to eat.

Shop

Groceries, your call

You set the ingredients and the budget — pantry-simple or everything from scratch. Shop yourself, or your chef shops for you.

Cook

Come home to it

Your chef cooks a week of meals in your kitchen — and leaves it spotless.

Pantry & cannedFine-dining, from scratch

You control the ingredients. Keep it simple and budget-friendly, or go all the way to premium, seasonal, made-from-scratch — restaurant quality, if that's what you want. Same chef either way; the groceries are your dial to turn.

What it costs

One price. A fridge full of food.

A fixed price for a session — not a running meter. Groceries separate, always at cost. Choose by how many you're feeding.

Full Session · most popular
$350 / session
~5 hours of cookinga household for a week, or one for two

Feeds a household of two to four for the week — or a single diner for nearly two. Around $18 a plate either way.

Half Session · for one
$250 / session
~3 hours of cookinga week of food for one

Right-sized for a single diner — a week of chef-cooked, diet-specific meals without a household's volume. Also a great fit for a date-night dinner in, or a backyard BBQ grill party.

A week of takeout in NYC runs $150–250+— and it's the same handful of restaurants on repeat. A real private chef starts at $60/hour and climbs past $150. Tuesday sits between the two — a fresh menu built around your taste every week, at a price that fits a weekly habit.

Handled, end to end

The hard parts disappear.

Scheduling, menus, groceries, payment — quietly taken care of, so the only thing anyone thinks about is the food.

If you're a guest
  • A standing slot. Same chef, same day each week — set once, no rebooking.
  • Menus that just arrive. A plan tuned to your tastes and dietary needs, ready to tweak or approve.
  • Groceries sorted. Shop yourself, or your chef handles it within a budget you set.
  • Payment on autopilot. One fixed price, charged quietly — no haggling, no surprises.
If you're a chef
  • A full book, no hustle. We bring the guests and the schedule — you just cook.
  • Prep done for you. Menus, shopping lists, and guest notes ready before you arrive.
  • Your creativity, unblocked. Spend your energy on the food, not admin or invoicing.
  • Paid on time, every time. Fair fixed rates, handled automatically. No chasing.
For our chefs

Your kitchen. Your flair.

Restaurant kitchens are hard on cooks — long nights, no benefits, punishing turnover, and rarely a say in the menu. Tuesday is built to be the opposite.

Bring your own style. You design the menus, put your signature on every week, and get creative with real dietary challenges — cooking that's yours, not a corporate spec sheet.

And you're an employee, with fair pay, a travel stipend, paid sick time, and a monthly health stipend. Daytime cooking in a home, on a schedule you can plan a life around.

Design the food, show your range, own the craft — every week is yours.
