A private chef, quietly opened up.

HealthyFoodBCN didn't start as a business. It started with a simple request. A few years ago I asked a friend of mine — a top chef in Barcelona — if he'd be willing to cook for my family. He said yes. Every plan was customized: my training load, my wife's preferences, our allergies, the kids' tastes.

What quickly became clear is that this kind of arrangement — a real chef, cooking to your actual life — isn't something you find on delivery apps. It's normally reserved for people who can afford a full-time private chef. By cooking in batches for a small group and keeping the operation lean, we made it work at a price that a serious professional, athlete, or family can absorb.

Word got around. Friends asked to join. Then their friends. For the last couple of years we've been running this as a quiet, semi-private thing for a small group of Barcelona households.

Now we're opening it up properly — to busy professionals who are tired of Glovo, families who want calmer evenings, athletes chasing specific macros, and expat communities who miss home food. The chef is still the same chef. The ethos is the same. We're just letting more of the right people in.

We're not a meal-kit company. We're not a dark kitchen. We're a private chef for people who eat seriously — with plans designed around you, not pre-packaged menus.
