Kitchit chefs bring the stellar service and ingredients of a restaurant directly into the home of Kitchit members, who can book everything from cooking classes to casual meals with friends, gourmet summer grilling parties, and lavish, intimate dinners.

Ian Ferguson, Kitchit's head of product development, says "New Yorkers love to dine-out, but we're giving them a reason to dine-in, in the comfort of their own home, and still have an incredible meal prepared by one of the best chefs in the city."
