Who Are We
As a group of friends it is our long-held belief that food's secret superpower is the ability to bond people; we certainly have spent many evenings cementing our friendship with shared meals. This pandemic has interrupted that, but undeterred we have resorted to virtual meetings that turned our conviction into a start-up. Here was born a lockdown concept. iChefs is an online platform designed to allow home cooks to showcase and share their talent locally.
Home cooks (iChefs as we call them) can be their own boss, work flexibly from home and turn their love of food into both happy customers and a means of income. A team of delivery heroes will allow customers to receive lovingly home-made meals that they can tuck into, safe in the knowledge that they are supporting their local communities of home chefs.
Sounds like a circle of goodness?
Absolutely, connecting people through food is one of our founding values after all.

We all know that person who almost lives at work - my friends and family say I'm one of them! As an Engineer for the last 11 years, there were countless times when I wished home-cooked food was easily accessible. I now want to make this possible for everyone like me.
Akshita Pungaliya
My passion for wildlife conservation and interest in marketing have kept me away from home-cooked food for many years. Despite numerous take away options & ready meals we have today, nothing can satisfy the craving for a homely meal prepared with love!
