About
Hi, I'm Tugberk.
Your personal chef.

I'm a professionally trained chef based in Austin, Texas. After years in restaurant kitchens, I made a deliberate choice: bring that same level of craft, technique, and intention directly into people's homes through weekly meal prep.

Every Friday I source ingredients from Whole Foods and Central Market — only the finest organic and locally-sourced produce. Every meal is portioned to your specific goals — whether that's weight loss, muscle gain, or simply eating better without the stress.

FAQ
Common Questions
Do you use seed oils?
Never. We only cook with extra virgin olive oil — no seed oils, no vegetable oils, no exceptions. Your meals are always prepared with the cleanest fats available.
What are the portion sizes and macros?
Each container is 38oz — more than enough for one person. Every meal averages 700–900 calories, with 55–70g protein, 45–60g carbs, and is always high-protein. Designed to keep you full and fueled.
Can you accommodate allergies?
Yes — we can customize meals based on your allergies and dietary restrictions. Just mention it in your order form. Depending on the specific requirements, some adjustments may vary week to week.
Are there discounts for larger orders?
Yes! We offer discounts at certain order quantities. The more meals you order, the better the value. Mention your desired quantity in the order form and we'll include pricing details in our reply.
Where do you shop for ingredients?
We source exclusively from Whole Foods and Central Market — two of Austin's best grocery stores for premium organic and locally-sourced ingredients. Quality starts at the source.
What size are the containers?
All meals come in 38oz containers — a generous, satisfying portion size that's more than enough for a full meal. Each one is sealed fresh the same day it's prepared.
Is the menu the same every week?
Never — the menu changes completely every week. Every Saturday brings a brand new lineup of meals with different proteins, flavors, and seasonal ingredients. No two weeks are the same.
When is the order deadline?
Orders close every Thursday at midnight for that Saturday's delivery. We recommend ordering early as spots are limited each week.
Food & Wellness
Nutrition Knowledge
Real food education from a chef's perspective — updated weekly.
🌾
Why Organic Matters More Than You Think
Conventionally grown produce can carry pesticide residues that accumulate over time. Organic certification means no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs — your body handles less chemical load every single meal.
💡 Switching even 50% of your diet to organic measurably reduces urinary pesticide markers within 1 week.
🥩
Protein Timing: The Window Is Wider Than You Think
What matters most is total daily protein intake — roughly 1.6–2.2g per kg of bodyweight. Spreading that evenly across 3–4 meals allows optimal muscle protein synthesis throughout the day.
💡 A 75kg person should target 120–165g protein daily, not just in their post-workout shake.
🫀
Healthy Fats: What "Low Fat" Got Wrong
Unsaturated fats from olive oil, avocado, and fatty fish actively reduce inflammation, support brain function, and improve cardiovascular markers. Fat doesn't make you fat — refined carbohydrates do.
💡 Extra virgin olive oil consumed daily is associated with a 30% lower risk of cardiovascular events.
🌿
Fermented Foods & Gut Health
Fermented foods like kefir, kimchi, miso, and yogurt introduce live beneficial bacteria that strengthen gut lining integrity and reduce systemic inflammation. Even small daily amounts have measurable effects.
💡 A diverse microbiome has been linked to lower rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and depression.
🫐
Eating Colors: The Phytonutrient Spectrum
Different colored vegetables contain different phytonutrients. Purple foods contain anthocyanins, orange provides beta-carotene, green leafy vegetables deliver folate and chlorophyll. Variety is the mechanism.
💡 Aim for 5 different vegetable colors per day — not just 5 servings of the same thing.
🍽️
Meal Prep & the Psychology of Eating Well
Decision fatigue is real. When you're tired and hungry, you default to convenience. Having prepared, macro-balanced meals removes the choice burden entirely — reducing impulsive eating by over 40%.
💡 The best diet is the one that's already made and waiting in your fridge.

Ready to Eat
How to Heat Your Meals
Three easy methods — each takes under 5 minutes. No prep, no cleanup.
📦
Microwave
⏱ 2–3 minutes
  • Remove the lid or crack it slightly to vent steam
  • Heat on medium-high (80%) power for 2 minutes
  • Stir or rotate the container halfway through
  • Heat for 30–60 more seconds if needed
  • Let rest 1 minute before eating — container will be hot
💡 Medium power keeps proteins juicy and prevents rubbery texture.
🍳
Skillet / Pan
⏱ 4–5 minutes
  • Add a small splash of water or olive oil to the pan
  • Heat on medium — don't rush it with high heat
  • Add your meal and cover with a lid
  • Stir occasionally for even heating
  • Heat until steaming throughout — about 4–5 minutes
💡 Best method for proteins — keeps the sear and texture restaurant-quality.
♨️
Oven / Air Fryer
⏱ 8–12 minutes
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
  • Transfer meal to an oven-safe dish
  • Cover loosely with foil to lock in moisture
  • Heat for 10–12 minutes until hot throughout
  • Air fryer: 325°F for 6–8 minutes works great for proteins
💡 Best for roasted veggies and proteins — brings back the crispy edges.
🧊
Storage Tips
Meals stay fresh in the fridge for 5–6 days after delivery. For longer storage, freeze within 24 hours of delivery and consume within 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Never refreeze after thawing.
