Dinify doesn't cook or deliver: you order on the service's own site. Prices are as the services state them, rounded up.
Six ways to spend fewer evenings at the stove
Living on delivery alone is expensive and gets old fast. What works is a mix: each way covers a few days, and together they close the week.
Cook once, eat for 2–3 days
One big pot covers two or three days. Dinify plans the leftovers on purpose.
Share the cooking
Every meal in the plan has a cook, so a partner can take their days in advance.
Meal kits
Measured ingredients and a recipe: 20–40 minutes of cooking, no shopping and no deciding.
Ready meals for several days
A weekly box of home-style dishes in containers: heat up and eat.
A cook at home
A cook comes over for 3–4 hours and leaves food for several days — from your recipes or theirs.
Restaurant or delivery
A planned night off — booked ahead, not ordered out of exhaustion.
Questions
How much does a cook at home cost in France?
A cook at home: €27–36 per hour, about €2–16 per serving. These are the prices the services state themselves; with a cook at home, groceries are usually extra.
How do these services work with Dinify?
Dinify doesn't cook or deliver: you order on the service's own site. In Dinify you add the service to your family menu — it becomes a dish you can put on any day of the plan — or pick a cook, who then appears under “who cooks”. Chef plans the week with that in mind.
Why are some services higher in the list?
First come services with confirmed real orders, then newer ones or those with little data; on a city page, local services and cooks move up. Among equals the order changes every day, and the last places in the list go to other services in turn, so newer ones get seen too.
