About
What this is
Sea-to-Sky Personal Chef is a weekly dinner planner for households in the Sea-to-Sky corridor. It is not a meal kit company, a grocery store, a caterer, or an in-home chef service.
You get a plan. You buy groceries at the store, at shelf price, and you cook in your own kitchen. The planner takes care of the thinking: what to make, what to buy, and how to fit it into your week.
It started in Squamish, BC, with the goal of making weeknight dinners less stressful for real households with real constraints: allergies, picky eaters, long work days, and a fridge full of things that need to be used up.
Why it exists
Meal kit services in Canada have been shrinking. Common complaints: poor meat quality, plastic waste, hard cancellation, surprise charges, small portions, unsafe substitutions, hidden markups, and recipes that take longer than they claim.
This planner tries to fix those things. Honest on price. Easy to pause or cancel. Better on meat when you opt into the local butcher. Built around your real kitchen, your real appliances, and your real schedule.
The chef
The recipes are led by a chef who was a head chef for ten-plus years, including at a 500-seat restaurant, and who now teaches people to cook at home.
Recipes are chef-designed, and a chef reviews each recipe before it enters the approved library. The sample cards in this preview are original sample writeups without a review record yet, so we do not call them chef-reviewed. Software can draft a weekly plan from the library and your profile. That draft is not an approved meal, and a chef does not personally cook each household's dinner.
Recipes use real cook times, real prep times, and real temperatures from Health Canada. We do not shave times to make a dish look easier than it is.
What it is not
- -A meal kit. No boxes. No auto-shipped groceries.
- -A grocery store. No markup on food.
- -A catering service. No one cooks for you.
- -A nutrition clinic. We do not give medical or dietetic advice.
- -A recipe scraper. We do not copy or paraphrase copyrighted recipes.
- -A meal service run by AI. Library recipes are chef-designed and reviewed before they are used.
- -A live store integration. We do not place orders at the grocery store for you.
Launch geography
Starting in Squamish, BC. The goal is to expand to Whistler and potentially Pemberton. We will not promise coverage in a town before we can honestly deliver it. Outside Squamish, the planning tools still work, but local store lists may not apply.
