The Sneak Preview of www.auntieChef.com is now live! Shh.
So, what exactly is auntieChef?
auntieChef is the online marketplace for folks to buy and sell homestyle food. We came up with auntieChef when we realized that, while we craved real home cooking, we never had the time (and in my case, skills) to cook for ourselves. And honestly, there’s only so much frozen food or takeout that the body can take – we were hungry. So we started a company.
How does auntieChef work? Local cooks (e.g., caterers, personal chefs, bakers, other food entrepreneurs) open up auntieChef.com online “kitchens”, listing their dishes and prices. Hungry folks can order meals from these cooks online. The food is freshly made-to-order, and is delivered or picked up. Voila…home cooking without the hassle!
There – the secret’s out, and we hope you join us on our mission to make food personal again. Drop us a line and let us know what you think, and if you know any great cooks in Boston, send them our way!

Hi, Swaroop,
I like the look of the site. If I were going to use your service, I’d need testimonials, a dependability/ratings scale (similar to what’s on Amazon when one buys books), and to feel that someone in the home office randomly ordered from and taste products from the sellers. Perhaps you can have a platinum place for people whom your roving tasters guarantee.
Also, you may want to add Southern food as a category – this could include Soul Food. Caribbean Food would be another one.
Hi Candelaria,
Thanks for checking out the site, we are excited about our sneak preview, and glad you like our work so far! We’re definitely adding in a review system so that the community can rate their favorite sellers (we’re programming this right now). And good tip on the Southern Food cuisine category…!
Cheers,
Swaroop
