Examples only, not fixed packages or prices. Recipes, nutrition, availability and dietary suitability require chef confirmation.
Enter your measurements for an estimated maintenance calorie target and a starting macro balance. Then explore meals that work toward it.
Your measurements stay on this page while it is open. They are not saved or included in your box request.
Mifflin–St Jeor estimates resting energy from age, weight, height and a sex-based coefficient. We multiply it by a rough activity factor for maintenance calories; activity factors are a planning assumption, not measured energy expenditure. The equation was studied in adults aged 19–78. The female/male options refer to the original equation, not gender identity; the range option shows both coefficients.
A starting balance of 20% protein, 50% carbohydrate and 30% fat is one example within adult reference ranges. These estimates do not prescribe weight loss, evaluate micronutrients, or replace personalized advice from a registered dietitian. For medical diets, pregnancy, breastfeeding or eating-disorder care, use clinician-provided targets with the chef.

Each added meal is one individual serving. Your target reflects days × people × meal types.
Use the request notes for low-FODMAP, renal, diabetes-related, ketogenic, or other prescribed requirements. These need individual chef review and are not automatically validated by these filters. No menu item is certified kosher.
Filters check the listed sample ingredients only. Shared-kitchen cross-contact is not assessed; severe allergies and celiac requirements need direct confirmation.
Send the chef a brief note about what you have in mind. No profile or meal selections needed.

We celebrate satisfying meals, variety, energy and everyday enjoyment. This app does not offer weigh-ins, weight-loss challenges or rewards for changing your body. Your progress is personal, and your worth is never measured by a number.
Blue Cottage Kitchen does not promote crash diets, extreme restriction, starvation, detox regimens or other unsafe eating practices. A guide appearing here is not a recommendation that you follow it. Personal notes and custom milestones are self-reported; the app cannot assess whether an individual plan is safe.
Avoid major, abrupt dietary changes without appropriate guidance. Learn from reliable sources about a plan’s nutritional needs, limitations and a suitable transition for you. Make manageable changes while continuing to eat enough and maintain variety.
Speak with your doctor and a registered dietitian before restrictive elimination plans such as AIP, or any diet intended to manage a health condition. They can help assess suitability, avoid nutritional deficiencies and plan a safe transition or reintroduction. Never test a known serious food allergen at home, stop medication or replace medical treatment with an eating plan.
Blue Cottage Kitchen provides culinary services and general educational information, not diagnosis, treatment or individualized medical nutrition therapy. Sample nutrition values are estimates; guides, filters, milestones and personal summaries do not guarantee dietary suitability, allergy safety or health results. Confirm ingredients and personal requirements with the chef, and discuss medical decisions with a qualified clinician. Do not delay medical care because of information in this app.
Use this app as a meal-planning aid. You are responsible for seeking appropriate professional advice before acting on dietary information. Nothing in this notice excludes rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.
The optional daily nutrition estimator uses measurements only while that page is open; those measurements are not saved to your profile. Existing saved information is not automatically deleted by this update.
These resources are free to read at their original sources. Links are educational, not an endorsement or a substitute for personal care. Cornell’s public articles are readable without a login; its student services and some linked programs have separate eligibility requirements.
If eating or body-image concerns are affecting daily life, talk with a licensed clinician or a registered dietitian experienced in eating-disorder care. You deserve support at any body size. You can skip tracking tools at any time.

We serve NYC, the Hamptons and the North Fork. Other areas are subject to availability. The chef confirms your location and schedule before accepting service.
Prepared meal drop-off is delivery only; we do not offer pickup. You can also choose in-home preparation, where the chef cooks and packages meals in your kitchen.
It is our preferred way to bring a personal chef experience to your week, and typically costs a little less because there are no off-site kitchen operating costs. We shop, prep, cook and package in your home, wash all related dishes, sweep/mop the work area as needed, remove related trash and reset the kitchen before leaving. Final pricing and kitchen suitability are confirmed in your quote.
Create an account, confirm your email, complete the new-client intake and wait for chef approval. Check your intake status in your profile. Guides and personal tools remain available while you wait. Approval unlocks the box builder and request process; each order still needs separate confirmation.
Chef-designed dishes are complete meals you select from the menu. À la carte lets you assemble one plate from a main, up to two sides and an optional sauce. Each finished plate counts as one meal serving. Components are not ordered separately in this builder.

Clients cannot browse each other’s profiles. The chef’s approval screen shows submitted service intake details only. Private journeys, achievements, check-ins and photos are not included there. Profile pictures are optional and are not shared with the chef in this version. Hosting and storage providers process app data, and authorized infrastructure administrators may have technical access. See the privacy details below. Sign out on shared devices.
Journeys provide educational food guides, checklists and personal reflections. Insights summarize your entries; they do not diagnose symptoms or prove a diet caused a change. AIP needs clinician or dietitian support. Medals celebrate recorded check-ins and goals, with no cash value or prizes.
Yes. Open Add to your Home Screen above for iPhone and Android steps. The shortcut should show the Weekly Kitchen meal-prep icon. A bookmark on its own does not add an icon to the Home Screen.
What the chef sees: the new-client intake you submit—name, account email, phone, service address, service choice, household and meal preferences, and notes. The chef’s approval screen does not contain journeys, achievements, personal goals, check-ins or progress photos. Profile pictures are optional and remain private in this version.
How the app stores information: account, saved-profile and photo data are processed and stored using Supabase; Cloudflare hosts the app; Resend processes sign-in and account emails. Authorized infrastructure administrators may have technical access to stored information. This is not end-to-end encrypted storage, and we cannot promise that platform administrators can never access it.
Your choices: progress photos and personal tracking are optional. Other clients cannot browse your saved information. The app does not sell your information or publish your private progress. Service details are shared with the chef when you submit an intake or send an order-request email; emails are also processed by your chosen email provider.
Managing your data: you can remove saved entries and photos, or delete your saved profile and intake from Account settings. This also removes your intake approval, so you would need to apply again. Deleting the saved profile does not close your sign-in account or erase emails you already sent. Contact the chef for account or privacy requests. Provider backups and retention processes may apply.
