Sunday Chef — meal prep in one Sunday
Smartest & fastest meal prep

Most of meal prep is just waiting — rice boils, chicken roasts, sauce simmers.

How it works

60 seconds on what Sunday Chef does

You can do this too

I'm not a chef. I've never cooked professionally.

No culinary school, no line-cook years — just someone who wanted to eat well without giving up every evening.

That 1.5-hour session wasn't skill. It was Cue: it works out the smartest order to cook everything, then talks you through each step, timed to the moment. No memorizing recipes, no juggling five sets of instructions.

If you can follow a voice, you can cook like this too.

Feature 02

Hit your macros without the daily logging.

Forget logging every meal, one food at a time. Build your week in Sunday Chef and it totals your calories and macros for every day — so you plan to your targets once and stop tracking.

Calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber. Per day. Per recipe. Per cook plan.

Feature 03

Cook seamlessly — without memorizing or flipping through recipes.

Cue coaches you through every step out loud — what to do, in what order, timed to the moment. You never have to remember the recipes, work out the sequence, or watch the clock. Just listen and cook.

Feature 04

Cook any recipe you find — without retyping it.

Paste a link. Sunday Chef turns it into a Cook Plan.

Founder's note

I built this to get my time back.

I'm a high achiever — I pour a lot into my work, and I wanted my health to match. But I never had hours to spend planning meals, learning new recipes, and flipping between five sets of instructions in the kitchen. I kept hitting the same wall.

Boring chicken, brown rice, and broccoli — sustainable for about two weeks. Flexible dieting was better, but I'd either make the same five dishes on repeat or fall down the rabbit hole of saving recipes and learning new techniques. Both took over the evenings I didn't have.

So I built this for myself. Import any recipe in seconds. Build a meal plan that hits your macros automatically. Get a single grocery list. Then cook everything in parallel — no flipping between instructions, audio coaches you through every step. Two hours on Sunday and the week is done — about five hours back every week.

If it gives thousands of other people their time back the way it gave me mine, then building it was worth every hour.

How do you actually cook 5 dishes in 1.5 hours?
