Keto Personal Chef in Chapel Hill and the Triangle
Keto keeps carbohydrates very low. That rules out bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, most fruit and almost everything packaged.
What is left is good food, but it all has to be cooked and the numbers have to be right. After a few weeks most people are eating the same handful of meals and getting tired of them.
Chefs who know this way of eating
The Travelling Cafe is a collective of personal and private chefs in Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh and the Triangle. We cook in our clients’ own kitchens, for households where the way someone eats is not optional. Keto is one of the diets our chefs cook routinely, from scratch, with dishes from around the world reworked for the plan.
We cook the plan your clinician or dietitian set. We don’t diagnose, set targets or give medical advice. You bring the plan. We make it taste like dinner.
What that looks like
- Proteins seared properly and low-carb vegetables cooked so they taste like something
- Sauces made with butter, cream, olive oil and herbs instead of sugar and starch
- Dairy-free keto when you need it
- Cooked to the numbers you or your clinician set
Three ways to work with us
Weekly meal prep. A chef from the collective comes to your kitchen once a week, shops, cooks a week of meals to your plan, labels everything and cleans up. One all-in price. Groceries are included.
Dinner parties. One menu the whole table eats, built so the person following keto can eat every course alongside their guests.
Private cooking classes. Learn to cook keto yourself, hands on, with one of our chefs.
Every dietary need, same price.
How it works
- Tell us how you eat. Fill out our food questionnaire: your plan, other restrictions, and what you love.
- Meet your chef. We match you with a chef from the collective who cooks your plan.
- Open the fridge. Your chef shops, cooks in your kitchen, labels everything and cleans up.
