Personal chefs are one of those luxuries that are most often reserved for busy families with healthy disposable incomes. Truthfully though, there are plenty of other households that would benefit from these types of services, if only they weren't so prohibitively expensive.
Enter Besos Foods. Ron Pereira & Christine Volden started the company with a goal to "make it easy for everyone to make fresh, healthy meals at home with the highest quality ingredients." Their co-founder (and chef) Jamie Lloyd has developed a menu of meal kits containing fully-prepped ingredients and an easy-to-follow instruction guide; most meals take about 20 minutes to prepare. San Francisco addresses can order as late as 2pm for same-day delivery, while East and North Bay residents can order via Planet Organics, or pick up their kits at the company's headquarters in SoMa.
Recently, we ordered the Wild Halibut with Parmesan Polenta, Summer Squash, Garlic Confit, Purslane and Sorrel Pesto kit.
