Quotes:

“I saw that many moms, clients, and friends were having the same issue. They didn't know what they were going to cook, or they ran out of ideas. So I thought how amazing it would be to make an Uber-like app but for at-home chefs.” 

“As moms especially, we are multitaskers by nature. It can take a hit on your health and body. You are going to be frustrated, which leads to you getting frustrated with your kids or partner. That's when I started finding solutions.” 

“Getting help is important for your well-being. We have to remember that we can’t always do everything.” 

“Food is not a sacrifice, it is a pleasure in life.”
