THE COMPANY
ABOUT CHEF IN BOOTS, LLC
.jpg)
Chef in Boots was unofficially founded in the summer of 2016 when Rebecca began offering her culinary skills as a way to earn extra income while settling into Colorado Springs. What started as a part-time Personal Chef role at a family’s vacation home quickly became a passion. Cooking in an intimate setting, building connections, and crafting personalized meals made her fall in love with the experience.
As the family grew to know and love Rebecca’s cooking, they brought her back each summer, and her reputation flourished. By 2018,
Chef in Boots was officially established.
When the world changed in 2020, Rebecca saw an opportunity to give back. She transitioned Chef in Boots into a full-time business, providing affordable meal prep to support her community.
What sets Rebecca apart is her dedication to customization. She believes every event is unique, and her strength lies in creating tailored menus and memorable experiences that reflect your vision. With Chef in Boots, you’re not just getting a meal. You’re getting a personalized culinary experience made with heart.
Let’s make your next meal unforgettable!

Want to make your life a little easier; try Chef in Boots, you won't be disappointed!"

"It's so nice not having to think of what to cook each week. Rebecca takes care of that and all the meals are healthy. She does breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She just added snacks."
— Carmela R.
"I've used Chef in Boots now for over 6 weeks, for their home delivery meal prep service. It's literally saved our sanity in the last few months of pregnancy and now postpartum. I've used several other local services and Chef in Boots is the superior business for four reasons: quality and taste of food, price, and customer service. We will continue to use them as life gets hectic and when we need help in a pinch!"

At Chef in Boots, exceptional food starts with exceptional standards. From ingredient sourcing and meal preparation to kitchen organization and sanitation, every part of the process is approached with care, consistency, and attention to detail.
That commitment was recently recognized when Chef in Boots received a perfect score during a routine health inspection—becoming the first meal prep business featured in the Restaurant Roundup report to earn a top score. This achievement reflects the high standards that guide every meal we prepare and every service we provide.
