“Nicole made the entire process seamless… the meals are delicious, creative, and tailored perfectly to our preferences. It’s a top-tier experience with people who truly care about their clients.”

Brett H. Verified Google Review

“I tried meal prep delivery companies, prepared meals from grocery stores, and ordering healthy on Uber Eats. Eats by Nicole is by far the best option — absolutely delicious and nutritious.”

How our personal chef services in Los Angeles work

01
Tell us how you eat

Fill out a short Find My Plan form — about 2 minutes. We use your answers to understand your household, goals, and preferences so Nicole comes to your consultation prepared.

02
Book a free consultation

Jump on a 30-minute call with our team. We’ll walk you through the right package for your household, answer every question, and confirm your start date. Payment is collected on the call.

03
Your menu is curated

Within 3 business days, your chef builds a fully custom meal plan around everything you shared. It’s reviewed against the Eats by Nicole standard before it reaches you. Once approved, you confirm your start date.

04
Your chef handles the rest

On service day, your personal chef shops, cooks, packages, and cleans. You come home to a full fridge. Every week, the menu evolves with your feedback.

Our personal chef services are for anyone who values eating well more than the time it takes to make it happen.

I.
Busy professionals & couples

Your weeks are full. Meal planning, grocery runs, cooking, cleaning — it adds up to hours you don’t have. You care about what you eat but the logistics keep getting in the way.

Eats by Nicole means you come home to a fridge that’s already handled. No deciding what to make. No last-minute takeout. Just food that’s good, portioned for you, ready when you are.

Common starting point
Core or Essential Weekly Prep — 8 to 12 meals/week
II.
Health-focused individuals

You know what you should be eating. The challenge is consistently executing it — hitting your macros, avoiding foods that don’t work for you, and keeping variety high enough that you stick to it.

Your chef follows your brief exactly. Macro tracking, specific protein targets, allergen exclusions, dietary protocols — all built into your menu from week one.

Common starting point
Essential Weekly Prep + Macro Tracking add-on
III.
Families

Feeding a household every night — with food everyone likes, that meets different preferences, and that doesn’t take two hours to prepare — is one of the most exhausting recurring tasks there is.

Your chef builds a menu for your whole household. Kids’ preferences, adult nutrition goals, dietary restrictions — all accounted for, every week.

Common starting point
Family or Signature Weekly Prep — 16 to 20 meals/week

Dinner parties & small events

Weekly meal prep is our bread and butter — but the same chefs also cook for the nights worth gathering for. Multi-course dinner parties and small events, prepared and served in your home, with a menu written for the occasion.

Family-style or individually plated · intimate dinners to gatherings of thirty · groceries at cost, never marked up.
