Tatiane Carvalho Personal Chef
From R$ 649.00
São Paulo's pace doesn't leave room for daily cooking. A personal chef comes to your home once a week, fills your fridge with fresh, nutritious meals, and leaves the kitchen clean. You just eat.
The average São Paulo commute exceeds 90 minutes each way. After a 10-hour workday and the Marginal or metro, the last thing anyone wants is to cook from scratch. A weekly chef session gives you an entire week of meals without spending a single weeknight in the kitchen.
iFood and Rappi are convenient until the bill arrives — and the options are rarely aligned with fitness goals. A personal chef sources fresh ingredients from Ceagesp or your local feira livre, cooks according to your nutrition targets, and stores everything properly. It's real food, made by hand, for what you'd spend on a week of delivery apps.
Whether you track macros for CrossFit, follow a low-FODMAP protocol, need high-protein meals for muscle gain, or simply want to eat more vegetables without being bored, your chef adapts every single week. No locked-in menus, no generic marmita boxes.
Tell us your dietary approach, fitness goals, favorite proteins and cuisines, foods you dislike, any allergies or intolerances, and how many people in your household. The more detail you give, the better your meals fit your actual life.
Your chef shops at São Paulo's best ingredient sources — Ceagesp for fresh produce, the Mercado Municipal for proteins and specialty items, organic feiras in Vila Madalena or Pinheiros — then plans a full week's worth of varied, balanced meals so you never eat the same thing twice.
On your chosen day — typically Saturday or Sunday morning — your chef arrives and spends 3-5 hours cooking all your meals. Everything is portioned, labeled with contents and reheating instructions, and stored properly in your fridge and freezer.
Each day you open the fridge and find exactly what you need — breakfast options, lunches, and dinners. Your chef cleans everything before leaving. The following week: repeat, with a fresh menu so variety stays high.
São Paulo runs on adrenaline and padaria coffee. The paulistano work ethic is legendary — and the cost is a personal life squeezed into the margins. Cooking daily becomes the first casualty of an overloaded schedule. But unlike delivery apps, which offer the same repetitive options and hidden sodium, a personal chef meal prep service gives you actual home-cooked food: the kind your body recognizes and your digestion thanks you for.
The ingredient quality in São Paulo is extraordinary if you know where to look. Ceagesp, the largest wholesale produce market in Latin America, means your chef has access to seasonal, fresh ingredients at the peak of their quality. Organic feiras in Vila Madalena and Pinheiros run weekly. The Mercado Municipal stocks bacalhau, artisan cheeses from Minas, and specialty proteins that never appear on a delivery app. This is what ends up in your fridge on Sunday night.
myChef meal prep clients in São Paulo typically include professionals in Faria Lima offices, fitness-focused residents of Jardins and Itaim Bibi, families with young children in Brooklin and Campo Belo, and expats who miss the quality of home cooking. Many start with a single week and become weekly recurring clients within a month.
Local Tip
The best meal prep day in São Paulo is Saturday morning — your chef shops the Saturday feiras livres for peak-fresh produce, arrives around 9am, and has your fridge stocked by early afternoon. You spend Saturday morning doing anything other than grocery shopping.
Meal prep pricing includes the chef's time, all ingredients, storage containers, and cleanup. Weekly recurring clients receive priority scheduling and often lower per-meal costs than one-off sessions.
R$150–400 per week
