MEAL PREP ZONE
Livin
Livin matches households with a personal chef who shops, cooks a week of customized meals in the home, and cleans up. Menus accommodate preferences and dietary needs, with options ranging from high-protein and gluten-free to Mediterranean and MIND-inspired meals.
About Livin
Livin, operated by Cookonnect Inc, is a personal-chef meal-prep service that brings the cooking into your home. A chef shops for groceries, prepares a week of meals in your kitchen in one session, and cleans up afterward. Meals are cooked fresh rather than shipped as frozen portions or meal kits, and the service is described as available in Atlanta and Los Angeles.
Menus are tailored to household preferences, allergies, and dietary needs. Customers review a proposed weekly menu before the chef shops, then can keep the selections, swap dishes, or request changes. Livin offers options organized around different nutrition needs and eating patterns, including high-protein, gluten-free, Mediterranean, MIND, and anti-inflammatory meals, as well as plans for conditions, athletic goals, and life stages.
Menu examples include chicken pozole verde, salmon dishes, and beef picadillo; selections can vary. Livin says nutrition information is calculated using USDA ingredient data. The service begins with a household profile and chef match, then develops through ongoing feedback so menus can better reflect routines, tastes, and changing needs. The membership is flexible: customers can pause or cancel, and can skip weeks.
Meals are stored in the refrigerator and reheated when needed, with the business stating that they take five to seven minutes to warm. This is an in-home cooking service, not a prepared-meal delivery or pickup operation; the chef prepares the food at the customer’s home.
