Sharing food with the people we care about is one of the most powerful ways we have of expressing our love. For many of us, food means family; food means coming together; food means, literally, life. That’s why food is such a common gift for people who are grieving a death—it’s a gift that shows you’re thinking in the most personal way possible about their well-being.
Once the funeral is over, though, friends and neighbors often stop sending fruit baskets, stop bringing over home-cooked meals—but the effects of grief can go on for months. How can we support our loved ones through the hard times when they’re still struggling to figure out what’s normal for them now?
One great way to send practical love: Simplify their home cooking with Home Chef.
Many people want to eat delicious, fresh, balanced meals, but find it so much easier when the work of figuring out what to make and getting the ingredients is already done for them. Home Chef is home cooking made simple and delivered right to your door. From 15-minute meals to 30+ minute masterpieces, Home Chef lets your loved one select every week from a menu of recipe options that fit their tastes, dietary needs, and personal schedule.
The Home Chef recipient can simply choose whatever kind of meal they prefer—including options for veggie, carb- or calorie-conscious—and customize it to upgrade, swap, or double up their favorite protein on select recipes. Once they pick their meals by midday Friday for the following week, their meal kit delivery will arrive right at their door with all the fresh, pre-portioned ingredients. Then it’s just cook and enjoy, using the step-by-step recipe cards to easily prepare and savor their dishes.
It’s even easier if they choose Home Chef’s low-prep, low-mess Oven Ready meals, which totally simplify the kitchen experience.
To give someone you love the gift of Home Chef, you can purchase Gift Cards (either physical or digital) in denominations ranging from $25 to $250. Gift Cards have no fees or expiration dates, and they can be redeemed at any time the recipient chooses. The recipient just sets up a Home Chef account and clicks to redeem their Gift Card, which adds the card’s balance to their account.
It’s that simple. Home Chef lets you give the gift of comfort to your loved ones—exactly when they need it the most.
