Hire Akron's Best Private Chefs

There is nothing better than home cooked fresh meals after a long day at work! Very affordable. 5 stars to Cookingenie!

I will always be your number one fan ! Best idea ever and great food. 🤟 …

Amazing service and amazing food ! The Genie comes to your house with fresh grocery, and cooks a fantastic meal in your kitchen. It’s a great way to eat international food freshly cooked without leaving home, and for a very honest price ! Fantastico !

Delicious. Me gusta la variedad en el menú, platillos que yo usualmente no preparo. El genie llegó puntual con todos los ingredientes. Cocinaba, limpiaba y dejó todo listo para servirnos. Súper recomendable experiencia.

My husband and I tried Cook in Genie for the first time last night and were so pleased! Our genie arrived right on time, fully prepared and cooked the butter chicken and basmati rice that we had selected. The meal was excellent and a large enough portion for 2 nights for the two of us. Our genie left the kitchen spotless. The entire process was easy and seamless and we look forward to working with them again – we’re thinking a small dinner party group for our next experience. Thank you for letting me enjoy a night off from meal prep (actually 2 nights, with leftovers)!

Amazing food!! No prepping or cooking, and no clean up!! Just delicious, homemade food right at our home! Thank you, cookingenie!

Wow! From start to finish, CookinGenie was an amazing experience. With so many genie and delicious meal options, there’s truly something for everyone. Our Genie made us incredible enchiladas and left our kitchen even cleaner than when she arrived. We highly recommend CookinGenie for busy families, date nights or special occasions or just for fun when you don’t feel like cooking. Five stars star all around!

It’s a wonderful innovative idea and works perfect for families with busy schedules. You get to try different cuisines from the comfort of your home! I wish the Cooking Genie team, every success…

Incredible food! I had Jene’e’s scallops and rice along with her shrimp and grits. Her food was out of this world! It was a very fun experience that I would love to try again.

If you are looking for a comfortable home cooked meal without the hassle of leaving your house LOOK NO FURTHER! CookinGenie is the best way to get fine dining cooked in your own kitchen and served at your dinner table. The Genie was clean and neat while cooking and showed the upmost respect for my home and was very professional as well. Did I also mention AFFORDABLE!!

The cooking genie comes in with all the ingredients, you just provide the pots and pans as needed, they cook, dish out the food how you want it or leave it in the pans, clean up and leave! It truly feels like a magical genie experience. I chose Indian food for my crew because we love Indian inspired meals and we absolutely loved it! Fresh cooked food from scratch in my home by the cooking genie, perfect for nights I don’t feel like cooking. I will be using this service again, it’s so worth it and convenient. A must try experience!

JARED was awesome! He prepared a great meal. I will be requesting him again. He has my recomedation! #cookingenie

CookinGenie is a wonderful service and I recommend them highly! We had a great experience. The food tasted delicious. The Genie was very nice and definitely granted our dinner wish! We invited guests to share our meal and because we had a CookinGenie, I was able to completely enjoy the evening without worrying about the kitchen! Definitely the best way to entertain!

These guys are amazing! You just choose what you want and the chef comes to your place all prepared. They even bring the fresh ingreditents that are required for the dishes you choose. The portion sizes are big and the Chef cleans up after the cooking is done. Could’nt be happier!

I would highly recommend cookingenie for all the working people who want to have home cooked and healthy food .I luv Sabah Drabu’s Pav Bhaji as it has the authentic Mumbai Pav Bhaji taste and I trust her cooking as she uses all healthy ingredients and it’s all home made..Thanks cookingenie for making our life more comfortable .

This is my new favorite way to eat out in my own home. It doesn’t really cost any more than going out to a regular restaurant. However, I can watch the chef cut, cook and prepare all the food. All the food is purchased fresh with hours of it being cooked. This is one of the most amazing experiences you can have in your own home, not to mention you can invite friends to share the experience with you. Jared cooked us the most amazing Thai food that I’ve ever eaten. Another great thing, is there were plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. I will include photos. I think I will be trying to do this on a biweekly basis or maybe more often. I think it winds up being less expensive than me going to the grocery store buying more food than I need and then possibly not having the time to cook it the way I planned and wasting some of the spoiled food by throwing it out. I can’t say enough good things about this company and their chefs. Give them a try. You will not regret it.

CookinGenie is wonderful and has been such a great help for our busy family! Every meal we’ve ordered has been delicious.

I wish I would have taken photos! Cookin Genie was recommended to us by a friend so we decided to try it and hired Fanan. The food was absolutely amazing! The second best part is I didn’t have to clean up anything! Will definitely do again!

We had an amazing dining experience! Highly recommend—loved the dishes Chef Jared cooked for us: Peruvian Ceviche, Green apple& Fennel salad, shrimp pad thai and Jamaican jerk chicken..we will be eating well for the next several days;) plus the kitchen was cleaned up completely afterwards! will definitely be a repeat customer

There is nothing better than a highly trained chef coming to your home and cooking a delicious meal for your family. It was a treat to have someone else shop, prep, cook and clean! And it’s as affordable as eating out. Our CookinGenie, Jared, made authentic Thai food and there was enough to last for a couple of meals. It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely use CookinGenie again.

Had such a great experience with CookinGenie! Booking my Genie was simple and easy, loved the menu and costs are very reasonable/similar to going out to a nice restaurant. Used the services to feed my family and for a small get together, portions were very generous and Genie was excellent! Can definitely see myself using this service again in the future to help while I host my guests and a Genie is preparing a meal in the kitchen for us. Super convenient, fun and relaxing. The best part is that the Genie even does the dishes! It doesn’t get better than that! By the way, my Genie was Courtney in the Columbus area and her Creamy Chicken Penne was AMAZING! Once the aroma of bacon filled the air, I knew I was in for a treat! The best part of CookinGenie is keeping the leftovers and uncooked remaining groceries! This is better than going out to eat because you don’t get to keep the remaining groceries. Highly recommend, loved my experience! Oh by the way, also loved the salad! Had banana foster with vanilla ice cream too which was delicious but I got too excited and ate it before I could take a picture! 😀

Using CookinGenie was such a wonderful experience. Fanan was pleasant, kind, and professional…not to mention an amazing chef! She prepared some amazing dishes for us! While we enjoyed ALL of her food, the chicken and rice, spring rolls, and baba ganoush were our favorites! We will be hiring Fanan again soon, but we are also anxious to try other CookinGenie chefs. The best part, besides the delicious authentic food, was being able to enjoy the evening without having to worry about cooking and cleaning up.

Jarad was an amazing chef. Food was delicious, very professional, and friendly!

I had the pleasure of welcoming a couple of the chefs from CookinGenie into my home. They were all extremely professional and very easy to talk to. Every dish came out incredibly tasteful and presented very well. Nothing better than having a homemade meal without actually having to cook it or clean up afterwards!

Just experienced my first session with Cookin Genie. Wow. We are blown away for so many reasons. Our chef was the ultimate gentleman and professional in every regard. Brandon was prompt and efficient with this time. He also made sure that he was very safe during this Covid society that we live in. The price point was great considering you are getting $40 plate meals for much less! I’m sure this mag vary from chef to chef. At least that’s how we felt about our first meal with Brandon. It was easy to figure out how to use the website. We will be using Cookin Genie again.

We’re in love with CookinGenie. We’ve had Jared out three times now, and it’s been perfection every time–some of the best Thai dishes we’ve ever had. He always leaves us with more food than we can eat and a clean kitchen (and he wears a mask the whole time he’s here). It’s the best!

I absolutely 100% will use this service again! I loved the entire experience! I scheduled Jared for my team dinner in my apartment, tiny space but big flavor! He made the best meal! My staff was happy, I was happy… and I got to enjoy my guests and have fun and having a restaurant style meal in my home, it was probably one of the coolest experiences I’ve had. Can’t wait to have him back!

The food and service were both outstanding! A great alternative in the middle of a pandemic and in general! We had chef Jared and his dishes were absolutely delicious. He is very talented and creative. We’ll definitely use him again.

Our chef was Brandon. He arrived on time and within a few minutes we were carrying on a conversation while he prepared an amazing meal for us. The fried chicken was without a doubt the best I’ve ever had. The mashed potatoes were so light and fluffy, the salad was tasty. We are already planning our next meal and a party as soon as the pandemic is over.

Wow, this was great. Loved it so much, booked next 4 weeks!

This was one of the coolest experiences! Our chef was very nice and personable. He took great care in our kitchen and cleaned up well after he was finished. Such a fun experience!

We loved it! Genie LaMont cooked a delicious dinner and even served us which I didn’t expect. It was for my husband’s birthday. Everything looked beautiful and tasted divine. Sweet potato & Roasted Red pepper Bisque w/ cashew Sour Cream and Pistachio Encrusted Salmon, Banana Jasmine Rice & Green Beans. We got to chat a bit more when he was done which I really enjoyed. He was well prepared and very knowledgeable. We will do this again!

We gave CookinGenie a try on March 7th for a dinner party at our home. I must say I was a bit uncertain having never heard of nor tried this type of dining before. Well, I can honestly say if you have not done so, get it on your calendar. It was, to say the least, amazing. Our chef, Brandon, was the utmost professional in every way. The food he prepared had impeccable flavor with no stone unturned. The presentation was lovely. I honestly can’t say enough great things about Brandon and his culinary skills. It was easy to coordinate and very reasonably priced. Did I mention tasty? Yes oh yes. We felt it to be a WinWin in our book and all of our guests agreed. Thank you Brandon and CookinGenie. Great to know we have other chefs to try out as well. Many great options to choose from. We do look forward to dining again soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yum! Jared’s bacon wrapped dates appetizer were fabulous. We loved them! It was wonderful to leave all the cooking to him and cleanup. Highly recommended!

Excellent food, great service, and an incredible experience! Would highly recommend enjoying this experience with Cookingenie!

Highly recommended! Very reasonably priced. The food was absolutely amazing. Jared was on time, professional, and very accommodating. He cleaned, dried, and put away all cooking items he used. He even swept the floor and cleaned the cooktop and microwave! The pea and asparagus risotto with scallops was out of this world. His guacamole was amazing as well. Will definitely be using this service again.

This was my first time using this company and was not disappointed. Vanessa was awesome and the food was amazing. She cooked dinner for Father’s Day at my home and was very respectful and nice and easy to talk to. I will definitely recommend her and this company to family and friends

We had wonderful evening today eating all delicious food made by “cookingenie” chef. We had buddha bowl and Mediterranean wraps. Cookingenie took care of everything from grocery, cooking and cleaning. Food was delicious and freshly cooked at home with all fresh ingredients. Our evening was dedicated to family since Cookingenie took care of everything in the kitchen. We highly recommend this to everyone. Must try! We will invite Cookingenie many more times and cant wait to try all their amazing dishes:) Fun filled Friday evening:)

Terrific meal, well prepared with fresh ingredients and great seasoning. Jared was friendly and engaging, punctual, and took great care of us. Would highly recommend the roasted corn guacamole!

What an exceptional experience! This service was recommended by a friend and it was easy, fast and so unbelievably good. The ordering on the site is very easy and Jared (our chef) was phenomenal! We had a beautiful dinner for four cooked for us while we did some projects around the house. What a treat! I’m hoping to start using this service on a regular basis.

I had the pleasure of booking Christian as a chef for my company’s (Auden & Company) team potluck! The food was great! The service was extremely professional! I was able to sit and enjoy dinner and only think about cleaning up the leftovers! Highly recommended using Cookin Genie!

CookinGenie is such a great concept!! Don’t want to cook tonight? No problem! They come right to your home, cook in your kitchen and you end up with a delicious and hot meal that you didn’t have to cook! How awesome. Positive Quality

Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

CookinGenie is a novel concept which fits in aptly with the needs of modern living while preserving the traditional experience of eating at home. Our cook Christian, was fabulous in treating us to an evening of sumptuous food with the wondrous aroma of genuine condiments. Hands down one of the best times we have had recently with great food and friends at the same time! We look forward to more GenieExperiences!!! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Had an opportunity to try this company at a friend’s place last night. Absolutely delicious and wonderful concept. Christian was our chef and we all loved his professionalism and style of cooking. Our menu was Thai and everything was so balanced with great flavors. I have already recommended this to many friends and now planning my next dinner with friends because I know that I do not have to plan anything and I can just sit and enjoy the company of my friends while great food is being cooked in my own kitchen. Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Wow! Cooking genie is such an awesome concept. We had a dinner party for 10 and everyone enjoyed everything immensely. We did Indian cuisine. It was better than an Indian restaurant. The genie cooked from scratch. It took him about 3 1/2 hours to prepare. You could definitely tell by the food! We would definitely use cooking genie again. The price is very reasonable, the genies are excellent chefs and very professional. Positive Quality, Professionalism, Value

Wow, what a concept. I was visiting a friend in Ohio and ended up experiencing cookingenie. Excellent experience. Tasty food was freshly made in my friends kitchen. I though it would be expensive as the chef was coming home to cook, but after hearing their prices i was completely amazed. I am anxiously waiting for cookingenie to arrive in my area.

Christian with Cookin Genie came on a Friday for a date night dinner. We just had a baby and the time to sit down together and enjoy a joy meal was priceless! Dinner was amazing and we had leftovers for days! Christian brought everything to us and cleaned up after. He was friendly and engaging but left us to ourselves to get the baby down before we ate. 10/10 will use this service again! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Great food and service!

Frederick prepared a delicious meal of salmon, fire roasted potatoes in our pizza oven, marinated zucchini, and salad followed by bread pudding for our team lunch at Twelve34 House. We’re excited to partner with CookinGenie and allow our guests to experience a fine dining experience in-cabin!

My friends and I had a great experience. We ordered a personal chef for lunch. The cauliflower was excellent and the chicken teriyaki was really good too. Would order again. Great when having friends over or for parties.

Superb brunch and great serbice

We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and the chef was very attentive. We would definitely book them again.

We had our first experience with CookinGenie on Saturday and it was amazing! Chef Matt Reed arrived prepared and ready to make his three-course menu for four. Every dish was delicious! We enjoyed wild mushroom crostini, a salad of fresh herbs, homemade cornbread, and pork tenderloin served with apple and carrot slaw as well as chive mashed potatoes. We look forward to working with Chef Matt again!

George showed and and prepped and prepared an amazing four course meal. The food was delicious and the service was nothing short of spectacular. Hosting a party with CookinGenie made entertaining a breeze. We will definitely be using this service again for future events.

We had my dads 70th birthday dinner prepared by George and it was spectacular!!! From his arrival, food prep, cooking, cleaning while cooking..!!! It was the perfect way to host a dinner party and still be able to relax and enjoy the evening. He cooked everything to perfection, one of the best dinners I’ve ever had. We will be rebooking, for sure.

First time ever and I had Taylor Eilers, and she was amazing and the sweetest! Great to have a conversation with. Her dinner she made was 1000/10! I would for sure recommend her and having a personal chef from CookinGenie anytime!

Such a beautiful evening and the food was INCREDIBLE! Chef Chris is the best, and the sliders were NEXT LEVEL! The food was rich, filling, and nutrient-dense, that left us feeling energized, excited and fresh! Will def use CookinGenie again!

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Had another fantastic dinner party last night thanks to CookinGenie. Can’t recommend more highly! Food delicious and beautifully presented and the kitchen neat and clean when the chef has finished. Fantastic!

Tameka was absolutely amazing! Not only cooked some seriously tasty food but also shared some great conversations. A very genuine person that gave us a couple cooking hacks too!

Matthew was awesome and we had a great experience. Booking was easy and the food was delicious. Will definitely be using this service again!

Such a great experience with amazing food! Our chef was so sweet and talented. Highly recommend CookinGenie!

We hired cookieGenie for our small gathering in our house. Right from the booking, the chef to the food prepared everything was top notch. We booked the chef and she was very professional and responsive. She was very punctual. She accommodated our request for preparing a meatless/diary free meal. She was very enthusiastic and charming. She walked us on how she was going to prepared the food and the food was full of flavors. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food. If you’re looking to add a touch of fund and authenticity to your dining experience, I would highly recommend it.

We had our first experience with CookinGenie at our friends’ place. The food prepared by the genie was delicious, and she accommodated our dietary restrictions. This is a unique concept… having an amazing food cooked in your kitchen while you can entertain your guests without the hassle of ordering foods or going out. I will definitely explore other genies and their cuisine.

Had a great experience. Great food, amazing conversation with the chef. Will use again.

The food was amazing. The salmon was perfect. It’s so nice to have perfectly cooked fish. Also, the chef was nice and generous with all of our questions. It made the meal extra special to know that we were eating things that he had picked out of his personal garden.

The app is really easy to use. I have used George several times for very high end dinner parties paired with high end wine. Each course is unique and teaming with flavor and expertly paired with wine! He will tailor the menu for any dietary restriction you amd your guests may have. I cant wait to plan my next dinner party.

Had a wonderful experience with cooking genie dishes last night. Chef was really creative and could have fine dining dishes at home which is the best part

Highly recommend cooking genie for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner for two or a memorable celebration, this service provides a culinary journey that is truly unparalleled. And a huge shout out to Amanda who cooked a delicious meal !

This was so much fun! I feel spoiled! I got a dinner that could rival any restaurant, I didn’t have to leave my home, or do any prep, or clean up! I will absolutely do this again!

Isaiah made us an AMAZING brunch. His wings and waffles dish was delicious- I’m still thinking about it days later. And his spiced bacon was by far the best bacon I’ve ever had. Highly recommend Cookingenie!

We got the pleasure of having Isaiah Mcatee come to cook an amazing breakfast for us this past Sunday. Not only was the food seriously delicious, but Isaiah was extremely friendly, proud of his work, and answered any and all questions we had along the way. The Spiced Bacon was to die for, and funnel cake waffles were truly one of a kind. I’d never had bread wings before, but this may be a new requirement for any brunch. I would highly recommend Isaiah and CookinGenie to anyone!

We loved working with cookingenie. The chef was very professional and likeable and honestly left the kitchen in way better shape than it normally is after dinner. The food was delicious, served warm, and was a good value!

The experience was top notch! Our Chef, John Geschrei, prepared a fabulous meal for our family. It was served promptly and beautifully. The family style service worked so nicely — as soon as the dishes were served, Chef John said his goodbyes. The food was top quality–we’ll be doing this again!

Had an amazing experience with Chef Eddie on Friday night! We picked the picanha with sides and he delivered. My kitchen is small and challenging but Chef Eddie made it work. Thank you for a great night!

This was so fun! Our chef, Kristian was wonderful and her cauliflower bites were so good! I even told people about them at work! Lol! Would definitely do this again for a family function. Loved it!

First time very good experience. Good effort we enjoyed a lot , thanks 👍🏼 …

I absolutely love this service. The ordering was simple and intuitive. The chef prepared a delicious and healthy meal for four friends. The entire experience was amazing!

I was excited to learn that cookingenie is now in the DMV area. I had previously experienced this in my friend’s place in Ohio. Registering on the app, viewing the menu and placing the order was super easy. I decided to try chef (Dashawn Toppin) last weekend. He was extremely professional and food was all freshly cooked in our kitchen. We ordered Thai salad, Fish tacos and Blackened Salmon. All the food was excellent. My friends were amazed at the quality of food, personal chef-like experience at such a nominal price. I thought I would have some left overs, but I was wrong. We are looking forward to experience more of Dashawn’s and other Chef’s food.

We had the pleasure of experiencing Chef Heather Block’s cooking in our home and would highly recommend. She was so personable and the food was phenomenal. This experience exceeded our expectations.

We recently had the pleasure of having Chef Elysa Moses cook for us, and it was an incredible experience! My fiancé, who can be quite selective with food, was thoroughly impressed and loved every single dish. Chef Moses crafted a Caesar salad from scratch—no pre-packaged ingredients here! The croutons were freshly made, adding a perfect crunch to the fresh greens. The garlic mashed potatoes were a creamy delight, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. However, the real standout was the buffalo chicken nachos, creatively topped with shaved carrots and sliced peppers, which added a fresh twist to a classic dish. The spinach artichoke dip, served hot and fresh in Chef Moses’s own skillet, was simply irresistible. Instead of typical chips, she sliced and seasoned bread to dip, enhancing the flavors and textures even more. Chef Moses was not only a fantastic cook but also maintained cleanliness and organization throughout the cooking process. Her polite, professional, and friendly demeanor made the evening even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better culinary experience at home!

What an absolutely perfect addition to our little event! Chef Coleen was amazing, the food was delicious and it truly made it memorable for all! I could not be more pleased and can not recommend CookinGenie enough and if you are in the Tampa Bay Area check out Chef Coleen, she has such a great menu for so many occasions and her attention to detail is incredible. She can also customize and personalize the offerings. I can’t say enough good things about the entire experience from ease of the site to outcome it was all flawless.

This was an amazing experience with an amazing chef. I highly recommend giving it a try. George and LePriest were both helpful and wonderful. The food was so good! LePriest was very professional and kind. We plan to book him again for another upcoming event.

CookinGenie is such a high quality and helpful private chef service! The chefs are wonderful and my family, friends and guests have consistently been very satisfied and impressed. The food is always fresh and dishes are prepared expertly! I like the many options, from daily meal prep to creating a special evening, brunch or discovering a new international flavor. I am a big fan and always look forward to having a CookinGenie chef in my kitchen! Brilliant 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!

Fantastic meal! Very professional.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Best meal I have ever had. Great service and tremendous quality of meal

Food was amazing- Chef Lapriste outdid himself and the kitchen was spotless when he left. Thanks for a fabulous dinner

I cannot say enough great things about Cooking Genie! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and delightful. The chefs are incredibly talented and bring a level of creativity and passion to every dish. The meals are not only delicious but also beautifully presented, making each dining experience feel like a special occasion. Would recommend it to anyone!

Excellent experience! From picking out the menu to a delicious meal served by Chef John the entire event was fantastic.

The experience with Chef Ferguson was outstanding! As part of my wife’s 40th Birthday, chef prepared an amazing dinner for 11 and he brought provisions for a heat and eat brunch the following morning. His food was delicious, the service exceptional, and the memories will last a lifetime! If you are looking forward to an amazing experience that is sure to surprise and delight, connect with Chef! He is a star!
