About Homemade Today
Chef Mary Kernan started Homemade Today in 2002 as a way to blend her 20 years of business experience with her love of all things food. Today, Homemade Today and its Preferred Chefs are serving dozens of clients all over the Boston area and as far west as route 495. Together, we have built the business and now customers waiting for a chef to cook for them.

We'll provide you with:

You pay a royalty for the client only as you provide the services. There are no up front fees and the royalty decreases the longer you cook for a client.

- Culinary degree from an accredited institution and/or at least 3 years of professional experience in the culinary field
