Food Safety
Creating a community for food lovers with certified & vetted home cooks.
Home cook approval process.
Your safety is important to us before, during and after every meal purchase. Our goal is for you to find all the ingredients, food allergies, photos of cooks’ kitchens, as well as reviews from other customers. Our multi-step vetting process consists of our chef support team interviewing chef applicants, reviewing their past history, and approving their kitchens to ensure they meet safety standards and state regulations.
Food handlers are certified.
As part of our approval process, all home cook applicants are required to hold a valid food handler’s certificate. If they do not already have one, we require them to train and apply for a food handler’s certification to ensure they are able to handle food safely.
The State of Arizona’s food handlers card course is approved in the State of Arizona and Maricopa County. It holds the ANSI certificate program accreditation.
Safety commitment.
By the end of the training, each home cook will be able to:
- Recognize how food can cause illness or allergic reactions.
- Prevent contamination of food and food-contact surfaces with the hands and body.
- Use time and temperature control throughout the flow of food.
- Maintain a clean environment for food preparation and service.

To change the way we have access to homemade food by connecting people who have a passion for cooking with those who enjoy and crave dishes that are more authentic, fresh and wholesome.
