About these kitchens

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.

By sending this you agree we can text you about your request. We don't sell your number or use it for marketing, and you can reply STOP any time.

  • Chefs cut the salt and rebuild flavour with acid, herbs, aromatics and browning, rather than serving the same food under-seasoned.
  • Every dish publishes its full nutrition, so the sodium figure is visible before you order.
  • Bring your own target if you have one — chefs cook to a number you give them, and we confirm what is achievable first.
  • Meals arrive chilled and freshly cooked each week, rather than shelf-stable, which is where a lot of hidden sodium lives.

Low sodium cooking is a technique problem before it is a nutrition one. Most prepared food carries its salt in the background — in stock, cured meat, cheese, sauces and brines — so cutting it without the food going dull means rebuilding flavour somewhere else. Chefs on Prepared do that with acid, fresh herbs, alliums, toasted spice and hard browning, which is work a kitchen cooking to order can do and a production line generally cannot.

A week is usually five to ten individually portioned containers, cooked a day or two before delivery by an independent chef near you and delivered chilled. Every dish publishes its full nutrition, so the sodium figure is something you can read rather than something you hope about.

We do not set a sodium target for you and would not know how. If you have been given one, put it in the request form and a person will confirm with the chef what they can realistically hit before you order anything.

Low Sodium meal prep in Pasadena: common questions

How low can a chef actually go?
That depends on the dish and the chef. Leaving out added salt is straightforward; getting a whole week under a specific daily milligram figure is a much bigger ask. Tell us your number in the request form and we confirm with the chef before you order.
Will low sodium food taste bland?
Not if it is cooked rather than just unsalted. Lemon and vinegar, fresh herbs, garlic and onion, toasted spice and proper browning carry a dish a long way without the salt shaker.
Is this suitable for a medical sodium restriction?
We can't promise that. Prepared is food with published numbers, not medical care, and chefs cook in their own kitchens rather than a clinical facility. If you are on a prescribed restriction, tell us and we will be straight with you about what a chef can and cannot commit to.
Can chefs handle allergies?
Sometimes, and it's a per-chef answer rather than a platform one. Chefs cook in independent home and commercial kitchens, not certified allergen-controlled facilities, so shared equipment and cross-contact are real possibilities and we won't tell you a dish is safe for a serious allergy or coeliac disease. Put the allergy, intolerance or ingredient you avoid in the request form above and a person will confirm with the chef what they can and can't commit to before you order.
How much does it cost?
Each chef sets their own prices and publishes them per dish, so you can see what a week costs before you commit to anything. Most single-serving meals land somewhere around $12 to $20 depending on the chef, the protein and the portion size, and there's no membership or subscription fee on top — you pay for the meals you order.
How does ordering actually work?
You pick a chef, choose meals from the menu they publish for that week, and order before their cutoff. They cook a day or two before delivery and bring it to you chilled, not frozen. Ordering and payment happen on the chef's own page on eatprepared.com — this site is where you find the right chef and tell us what you need.
When do meals arrive, and are they frozen?
Each chef cooks and delivers on their own weekly schedule — most deliver Sundays, some Mondays, and each chef's day is listed on their card above. Meals arrive chilled and freshly cooked, ready to reheat, rather than frozen in bulk and shipped from a warehouse.
What if no chef has published the menu I want?
Ask anyway. Chefs cook every week to order, so a diet nobody has put on a menu is still one you can request. Tell us what you need in the form above and we confirm directly with a chef what they can cook before you commit to anything — that request is also how a diet ends up on menus here in the first place.
Is there a subscription or minimum?
There's no membership or subscription fee — you pay for the meals you order. Individual chefs may set their own order minimums, which you'll see on their page before you check out.
Can I change or cancel an order?
Up to that chef's weekly cutoff, yes — message them through Prepared and they'll adjust it. After the cutoff they've usually already shopped and started prepping, so changes get harder.
