About Haute Chef:
Haute Chef is a unique "meal kit" concept, built around incredible cooking experiences. Our philosophy is based on the French phrase "mise en place" - an approach commonly used in professional kitchens which involves organizing and preparing the ingredients that will be required for a dish.We send a box of pre-measured, labeled ingredients along with easy to follow step-by-step instructions on putting together a truly gourmet dish in your home kitchen. We take away the hassles of planning, shopping, measuring and delivering so that you can make cooking fast, fun and easy. Haute Chef not only saves you money, but in comparison to greasy takeout options – you can see exactly the amount of salt, sugar, or fat going into what you’re cooking, which is not so obvious with restaurant meals.
Our recipes are curated by chefs trained at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and while they provide an experience of foods from around the world, the recipes are simple enough keeping novice cooks in mind. We feel that people today are disconnected with the joy of sitting around a table and sharing an amazing experience with those they love the most. And by taking the guesswork out of the process, we make gourmet cooking surprisingly simple!
