The mother-daughter duo behind every unforgettable meal
Food is more than nourishment — it is memory, connection, and celebration. We cook to bring people together.
Rent-A-Chef was born from a shared passion between mother Arita and daughter Katie. Rooted in DeLand, Florida, we believe that exceptional dining should not require a reservation — it should happen right in your home.
Whether it is an intimate dinner party for two or a family celebration for fifty, we bring the full restaurant experience to your kitchen: from menu planning and grocery shopping to cooking, plating, and cleanup. Every dish is crafted with locally sourced ingredients, seasonal inspiration, and the kind of care that only a personal chef can provide.

"Arita and Katie made our anniversary unforgettable. The filet mignon was cooked to absolute perfection, and we did not have to leave the house. It felt like a five-star restaurant in our own dining room."
"We hired Rent-A-Chef for weekly meal prep after our second child was born. It was a lifesaver. Every meal was delicious, perfectly portioned, and accommodated my husband's keto diet. We have been clients ever since."
"The cooking class was an absolute blast! Katie taught us how to make fresh pasta from scratch. My kids still talk about it. Great for families and it is obvious how much passion they bring to their craft."
