What do private chefs actually cook for families during the week… and what can home cooks learn from it?In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on real client menus — from busy families with teenagers to households balancing different dietary needs. These are the kinds of meals designed to work in real life: flexible, flavorful, make-ahead friendly, and built to stretch into multiple lunches and dinners throughout the week.But this episode isn’t just about cooking for clients. We’re sharing the strategies we rely on in our own kitchens, too: prepping components, building meals around adaptable proteins and sauces, and making food that can evolve throughout the week instead of feeling repetitive by day two.By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:How to build “mix-and-match” weekly meal plans that don’t feel boringStrategies for prepping proteins, sauces, and vegetables once and using them throughout the weekFour unique menus that feature some of our go-to meals like customizable taco nights, a make-ahead panini, and our favorite mac n’ cheese (that has a secret serving of veggies)Tune in now to cook like a private chef in your kitchen!***For more recipes and cooking inspiration, sign up for our free Substack here.
