Questions
Is Prepared available in Chicago?
We're new to Chicago, so no chef has a published menu here yet. Send a request and we'll find an independent local chef who can cook it. The requests we get decide which Chicago chefs we bring on first.
How much does halal meal prep cost in Chicago?
Each chef sets their own prices. Tell us your budget per meal in your request and we'll only match you with chefs who work within it.
Do I have to sign up for a subscription?
No. There's no subscription and no commitment. You see your matches first and decide whether to order.
Can a chef work around my allergies?
Chefs on Prepared cook in independent home and commercial kitchens, not certified allergen-controlled facilities, so shared equipment and cross-contact are real possibilities. We won't tell you a dish is safe for a serious allergy or coeliac disease. If you have an allergy, an intolerance or another medical restriction, say so in your request and a person will confirm with the chef what they can and can't commit to before you order anything.
Is the meat certified halal?
That depends on the individual chef's sourcing, and it's exactly the thing to confirm before you order. Put your requirements in the request form and we'll only match you with a chef who can state where their meat comes from.
Is alcohol used in the cooking?
Chefs cooking to a halal brief leave alcohol out entirely, including in sauces and marinades. Confirm it explicitly with your chef when you're matched; it costs nothing to ask and removes the doubt.
Are the kitchens exclusively halal?
Most independent chefs cook for a range of customers from one kitchen, so full kitchen exclusivity is rare. If that level of separation matters to you, say so in the request and we'll be straight with you about which chefs can offer it.
