What Chef’d Used to Be
Chef’d delivered recipes and ingredients from celebrity and well-known chefs, with a $10-off code (CSK10, per our records — some of the older promo graphics on this page instead show “FRIENDS10,” an earlier version of the same kind of code; since the brand is gone either way, we’re not resolving which was more current) applied on top. Unlike HelloFresh’s fixed 3-meals-per-box subscription, Chef’d let you buy individual meals à la carte, across a range of diets from paleo to vegan, at roughly $29-$40 for two servings. We reviewed a complimentary box ourselves — Chicken Tinga Tostadas, Weeknight Chicken Pad Thai, and Thai Ginger Chicken — and the Thai Ginger Chicken was genuinely restaurant-quality. Portions ran generous enough that we had leftovers on more than one meal.
chefd.com is a working website today, but it’s not Chef’d — it currently hosts a small, unrelated recipe blog built on a 2025-era WordPress theme, with no mention of meal-kit delivery, celebrity chef recipes, or the original company anywhere on it. A domain that’s changed hands to a completely different, unrelated site is one of the clearest dead-brand signals we look for. We also searched the App Store for a Chef’d meal-kit app and found nothing under that name. Combined with the well-documented 2018 shutdown and asset sale to True Food Innovations, we’re confident calling this one discontinued.
The closest live alternative in our catalog is Home Chef — a similar recipe-plus-ingredients meal kit, delivered weekly. We’ve verified our Home Chef link works, applying code LUCYF45 for $4.99 per serving plus free shipping on your first box. It’s not à la carte the way Chef’d was, but it’s real, current, and the link works today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Chef’d $10 promo code still work?
No. Chef’d shut down in 2018 and chefd.com now belongs to an unrelated recipe blog with no working checkout for meal kits.
What happened to Chef’d?
Chef’d closed abruptly in 2018, a widely reported shutdown at the time. Its assets were later acquired by True Food Innovations, though the consumer brand itself never came back in its original form.
What’s a working alternative to Chef’d?
Home Chef delivers pre-portioned ingredients and recipe cards weekly; code LUCYF45 applies $4.99/serving plus free shipping on your first box, verified working as of this writing.
