CookinGenie

CookinGenie is a platform that connects personal chefs with guests seeking unique, personalized dining experiences. It enables guests to book chefs for anything from a taco night to 5-course French menu directly through the platform.  Our chefs take care of everything – shopping, cooking and even cleaning up the kitchen. Your guests relax and get to enjoy the space you’ve created for them!
