How Does It Work?

Consultation

To begin the process we investigate how you are currently eating and how you would like to eat in the future. We discover your food preferences and aversions, allergies and/or special diets through a detailed food questionnaire.

Menu Planning

Roughly a week before each cook day, YaDa Chef creates a customized menu. Upon your approval, we prepare lists and organize recipes.

Cooking

On the cook day, we shop for the freshest ingredients, come to your home/location and cook all day. Before leaving, we clean the kitchen so that you find it as you left it with the exception that you have a fridge full of food and lovely aromas!

And it begins again

We then plan the next service based upon your comments as we work to refine and hone in on menus that make you the happiest. We do not repeat any menu items for at least six months, unless you specifically request them.

Samuel Adams' New Limited-Edition Beer Is Illegal in 15 States

The latest Utopias beer has an ABV of 28 percent. By Jelisa Castrodale Every two years, Boston-based brewery Samuel Adams releases a new version of its Utopias limited-edition beer . Both the retail price and the alcohol content of this high-gravity beer could make your eyes water — but the latter is the reason why it won't be on a single shelf in 15 different U.S. states. According to CNN, this year's Utopias has an ABV of 28 percent, which means that it's legally prohibited from being sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, and West Virginia. Those states each have a limit on the ABV of any beer that can be sold, and it's safe to say that Utopias blows right past it.
