Cook your trip before you go

The Sunday before your trip, Chef emails you the one dish from where you’re going, written to cook at home, and the place there that makes the best one. Learn it in your own kitchen, then eat the real thing and compare.
Pick the city and the day you leave. That’s it.

How it works
- Pick where you’re going and the day you leave.
- Chef saves the trip for you, free, and on the Sunday before it the recipe lands in your inbox: the shopping list, every step, and how long it takes.
- In the same email: the place there that makes the best one and exactly what to order. Already in Chef? Every trip you plan to one of these cities gets it on its own.
