Because we want to keep the cost of the boxes low, encourage the use of local fresh produce, and allow you the freedom to customize each recipe to your needs, our kits are not inclusive of every food item required for each recipe and/or lesson.

Instead, you’ll receive an email when each kit is sent, which includes a shopping list and brand recommendations. Shopping lists can also be accessed via scannable links on your recipe cards.

Additionally, we aim to pack as many extra surprises as possible into each box. Some of these surprises will be food samples that directly tie into one or more of our recipes, cooking challenges, games, or club contests. Other surprises might be a newly released food product from one of our partners or just a fun treat to enjoy! All food items in our kits will always be gluten free, plant-based, and free from the top common food allergens.

Chef Free designs a new kit every month, which allows us to customize each kit to our current subscribers’ needs as much as possible and ensuring that you never get a repeat!

We usually have limited overstock of past kits and offer those for individual sale only while supplies last.  Click here to shop our single kits.

However, we cannot guarantee that product samples included in our kits do not have hidden sesame until sesame is officially covered under FALCPA.

As food allergy parents, we understand the desire to have all allergens completely accommodated. We also understand the logistical problems with always excluding every food that every club member is allergic to.

We do our best to keep these as inclusive as possible in many ways:

1. Teach essential skills
2. Explore new foods
3. Join a community
4. Spread awareness

Each of these opportunities will be communicated via our monthly newsletter.

Yes, these items are available at checkout.

• Sibling supplies (extra kitchen tool & sticker) are available for $5 per month, per sibling
• Extra aprons are available for $10 each
• For annual and semi-annual plans, sibling add-ons also include extra aprons ($8 per apron automatically structured into plan pricing).
• For annual plans, additional tracking sheets and certification badges for each sibling add-on are automatically included at no additional charge.

Members who register by the 25th of the previous month will receive a kit by the middle of the following month (i.e. a subscription purchased by August 25th will have it’s first kit shipped during the first two weeks of September).

Customers who purchase after the 25th of any month will receive their first kit during the first two weeks of the month following the next month (i.e. a subscription purchased on August 26th will ship during the first two weeks of October).

Single kit purchases are shipped daily.

We won’t recommend any ingredients in our recipes or include product samples that we wouldn’t be comfortable feeding our own severely allergic child. For the most part, this includes any product for which the company has voluntarily included a shared lines or facility warning on their product packaging.

Keep in mind that many companies use shared facilities and lines but choose not to disclose that information. Some companies choose to disclose that information but also publish information about strict cleaning and batch testing protocols to the point that we feel their products are at less risk than many items prepared in our own home kitchen.

In other cases, some companies may not be able to completely verify zero risk of cross contact in the products they source. If a large brand company feels confident enough with their manufacturing procedures that they choose not to include facility warnings on their packaging, we usually trust that product as safe. Of course, there are always exceptions and we may choose to be more cautious with specific products.

Since our kits aren’t designed to include a complete set of ingredients for any recipe, you can continue to have the freedom to use the products that work best for you. Each recipe card contains a scannable link to a shopping list with multiple brand and ingredient suggestions, and we also provide you with the ability to opt out of receiving food samples in your kits.

Many of our recipes may pair well with a meat or plant-based meat-substitute, but because we want to keep our kits vegan friendly, the meat-like option will not be the focus of any recipe.

It is possible that a supplemental meat-eaters series could be offered in the future for separate purchase, allowing us to teach different meat cooking techniques to those who avoid milk and eggs, but still eat meat.

We allow our subscribers to skip a month at any time, no questions asked!

Monthly newsletters will allow you to preview and prepare for what is included in the following month. Up until the end of each month, you can request to skip the following month. If you have already paid for multiple months in advance and do decide to skip a month, your subscription period will automatically extend to ensure you receive what you’ve paid for.

Product samples will never contain gluten or any of the top 8 allergens. However, we also understand that different types of flours may perform differently in recipes. That’s why we always test our recipes with both gluten-containing & gluten-free flours. If anything other than a 1-for-1 substitution is needed for those cooking with regular, all-purpose flour, we will include those instructions in our recipes.
