Weekly Meal Prep
Never stress about dinner again.
How many times have you asked “What are we having for dinner?” and heard “I don’t know”, “You decide”, or “I’m too tired to think about it”?
Give us your kitchen for a few hours — we’ll leave you with fresh, tasty, home-cooked meals ready for the week. No shopping. No cooking. No cleanup.
Your private chef plans the menu, cooks everything fresh in your kitchen, portions and labels each meal, and leaves the space spotless.
You simply open the fridge and eat well all week.
One message — your whole week handled.
Imagine opening your fridge and… it’s done.
Six fresh, home-cooked meals waiting for you.
No shopping. No cooking. No cleaning.
Just food you actually want to eat — healthy, tasty, varied, and tailored exactly to you.
No more last-minute decisions.
No more takeaways “just for today”.
No more mental energy spent on dinner.
With Noêma, the answer is already waiting in your fridge.
How it works
1. Personalised for you
We plan six dishes based on your tastes, lifestyle, and dietary needs.
2. Cooked in your kitchen
Your private chef prepares everything fresh, in your home.
3. Ready for the week
Meals are packed, labeled, and fridge-ready.
4. Spotless kitchen
We leave your kitchen clean and fresh — like nothing happened (except your fridge is full).
This isn’t a meal service. It’s your private chef.
We’re not a factory kitchen.
We’re not a subscription box.
And we’re definitely not “one menu fits all”.
Noêma is a small team of chefs who cook personally for a limited number of households each week. Every menu is handcrafted. Every client is known by name.
Because we cook everything by hand, we only open a few new spots at a time.
We currently have limited availability per week.
If this sounds like the kind of support your life needs, request your spot now.

Weekly Meal Prep FAQs
-
After you book a service, we’ll assign a private chef for your household. Each week, your chef will suggest the dishes that match your likes & preferences and tailor the menu accordingly. Your private chef will shop for groceries, prep, and cook the dishes in your home, stock your fridge, and leave your kitchen spotless.
-
Our weekly meal prep services are available in the Greater Stavanger area & Oslo, though many of our chefs are happy to travel. For services outside of these areas, contact us.
-
The weekly meal prep service includes a private chef, grocery shopping for you and coming to your home to prepare six dishes that can be mixed and matched for 3-4 meals throughout the week.
We recommend choosing dishes that work in pairs or trios as full menus, or mix and match to cover breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks.
-
We know that everyone eats differently. Our sizes are based on household size, but you should adjust your selection based on household appetites and how many meals per week you desire.
That said, our sizing recommendations are:
Small: 1-2 person household
Medium: 3-4 person household
Large: 5-6 person household
If your family is larger than six people, please fill out a custom inquiry form and we will provide you with a custom quote.
You can always adjust the size of your service from week to week.

We recommend using our weekly meal prep service 1-2 times per week, depending on your lifestyle, family size, and food preferences. You can update the frequency of your service in your dashboard after creating an account.
-
You can expect your private chef to be in your home for 3-4 hours total. This time includes prepping, cooking, packing up, and cleaning.
-
Please see our Best Practices & recommendations.
Empty the dishwasher and clear out the sink before the chef arrives.
Set aside clean food storage containers.
Make sure you have olive oil, salt, pepper, tin foil & parchment paper for cooking, plus, soaps, dish rags, trash bags, and a broom for clean up.
Confirm that stove burners, oven, broiler, and dishwasher work; if something doesn’t work, please let us know in advance.
Make sure someone is home to let in the chef at the scheduled time of arrival or that kitchen is accessible without guidance.
Familiarize your chef with the home (shoe policy, smoke alarms, pets, trash, recycling, wash rooms, etc).
Leave fridge space for groceries, dishes and/or leftovers.
Communicate with your chef about children and furry friends’ kitchen rules.
-
Yes! We recommend having at least six containers for a small service, 10 for a medium service, and 16 for a large service to ensure that your food is properly stored to stay fresh throughout the week.
-
Weekly meal preps include six dishes to maximize variety while minimizing your private chef's time in your kitchen. Choose dishes to serve together for a few full meals, or to enhance breakfast, lunch and dinner over the course of the week.
-
No. Many clients request chef services during working hours. While not required, we recommend being home for your private chef’s first visit to give a tour of your kitchen. If that's not possible, detailed instructions via text or email work as well.
-
The cost of groceries depends on your family number and menu selection. The grocery cost automatically adds up when you finalise your order through our fast form or it will be provided after you book a service, in your confirmation email. Your final grocery cost will be charged within two days of your service, along with your service fee.
