Cooks for non-food people

I was thinking... wouldn't it be great if there was a group where someone who didn't care about food preparation or care to look at calories could go and be like "I'll give you my budget for food and you cook me 2-4 meals a day that are healthy and balanced, and then deliver them to my house, so that I just need to eat them and/or microwave them... not in that order."

I hate cooking, but I have no problem with eating various foods prepared properly. I hate reading calories and thinking about food, from buying it to preparing it to sometimes even eating it.

Some are you thinking "go to a restaurant." which I can understand, but thinking it through restaurants you have to go, look at what they have, try to figure out the calories, order the food, wait for it, then eat it and you're really not taking anything out of it other than you're sitting doing nothing instead of cooking the food.

Some of you are thinking how is that profitable to do that... Well If a number of people hire a person then that person can buy bulk and prepare in bulk thus their costs are cheaper so they get profit easily from that. Also if they make it refridgerable then they could deliver once a week to once a month and so I don't think it would be as big a deal as one might think to deliver the food.

I think this would be great for both sides, non-food thinking people don't have to think about food and cooks get to cook up lots of food and apparently there are people that like doing that so the food they cook doesn't go to waste and they get to be happy cooking.


Just an idea I had a few moments ago... think it could work?

except those are UK based and as far as I can tell only exist in the UK... or Hollywood as the one article notes. And the Meals of Wheels thing is for 60+.

but it's good to know someone somewhere thought it might be a good idea and put it into effect in an area.

Yeah you should be able to find the service if you are near an average sized city. I know we have several where I am. I've even known a few people who did this for a living. It's just another type of personal chef.

I am a personal chef who gets paid to cook and manage multiple properties for a single gentleman.

A search for "Diet Delivery" and a few different cities revealed that The Fresh Diet is pretty wide-spread in the US.

What does this have to do with Hero and Villain culture?


Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?

Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

Heroes don't have time to prepare a nutiritonal meal 3 times a day so they need it delivered in easy to boil packages.

I live in a smallish town, and we have several of these. Mind you, we do all of our own cooking so we've only experimented with them once or twice.
