Plate In Progress offers private chef services for Hamptons homes, weekend houses, and New York City residences. From weekly meal prep to intimate private dinners and special events, Chef Juliana White brings thoughtful planning, polished execution, and seasonal cooking to each experience.
Whether you need ease during the week, a chef for a summer stay, or a memorable meal for guests, services are tailored to your schedule, preferences, and lifestyle.
Plan. Shop. Cook. Clean. Repeat - let Plate in Progress take it all off your hands with our weekly meal service customized to meet your needs. It starts with a brief consultation to discuss dietary preferences, allergies and restrictions, as well as daily habits and routines. With these details top of mind, Plate in Progress will create a menu for the week including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack items. Think homemade granola and fresh berries, fully-prepped and ready to reheat meals, and more - this weekly service is uniquely designed to make a week of dining-in an absolute breeze. (rates are dependent on the size of your family - inquire directly)

We’ll take it from there with the shopping, cooking, table service, and clean-up, leaving you to host - distraction-free. (rates are dependent on the size and scope of the event - inquire directly)
