What is BioCheffing?
BioCheffing is personalised nutrition with clean, organic ingredients, made by private chefs experienced in nutrition.
Biospan built the first BioCheffing service and this page defines the word: what it means, what a BioChef does, what the service is not, and where the two names come from.
Why the word exists
BioCheffing is a new word because the service was new. Before Biospan, you could hire a private chef, see a nutritionist, or order meal prep. None of the three gave you clean, organic food cooked to your own nutrition in your own kitchen. Biospan was founded in 2020 and built the first service that did, then named it. BioCheffing™ is a Biospan trademark.
The definition, in three parts
The sentence at the top of this page has three parts, and each one is a standard your BioChef works to.
Personalised nutrition
Your menus are designed around you: your goals, your allergies and intolerances, the diet you follow if you follow one, and your practitioner’s plan if you have one. Most of our clients do not follow a named diet at all. They want clean, healthy food that tastes good, and that is personalised nutrition too. Your service starts with a complimentary nutrition call.
Clean, organic ingredients
Organic, seasonal and local wherever it is available. Meat and eggs come from pasture-raised animals, fish comes from the wild, and the fats are natural: olive oil, ghee and tallow. Your meals are cooked without industrial seed oils, refined sugar or anything ultra-processed. The full standard is on the ingredient quality page.
Private chefs experienced in nutrition
A BioChef is a private chef who works to Biospan’s nutrition and ingredient standards. Every BioChef is experienced in nutrition, and some are full-blown nutritionists. Chefs join the network through the BioChef Grading System, which weighs nutrition experience, private household experience and Michelin experience, and every BioChef is background-checked, insured and contracted before the first visit.
What a BioChef does each week
BioCheffing puts private chef and nutritionist support into one weekly service. Your BioChef plans your menus for the week ahead and you adjust them. Your BioChef shops from local organic farmers, farm shops, butchers, fishmongers and farmers markets. Your BioChef cooks in your kitchen, or delivers, and leaves portioned meals in glass containers with heating instructions. Your BioChef leaves your kitchen clean.
A part-time BioChef gives you 18+ hours a week back. A full-time BioChef gives you 40+.
What BioCheffing is not
BioCheffing is easiest to understand next to the two things it gets mistaken for.
- BioCheffing is not traditional meal prep. Mass-market meal prep and meal delivery cook one menu for everyone in a central kitchen. Your BioChef cooks your menus for your nutrition, and you get the actual food.
- BioCheffing is not a traditional chef agency. An agency places a chef and steps back. Biospan is built around nutrition: your BioChef works to Biospan’s nutrition and ingredient standards, and we replace your chef if it is not right.
Biospan and BioCheffing: two names, one company
Biospan is the company. BioCheffing is the service Biospan created and the category it named. Biospan was founded in 2020 by Maximilian Burrell and operates across the UK, US, Canada and Europe. Biospan is a food and nutrition company: Biospan is not a medicine, and BioCheffing is not a kitchen appliance. Other products share these names and have nothing to do with us.
If you are reading this to check, the service is the one where a private chef cooks clean, organic food for your nutrition.
