Chef Free's first cooking boxes will be shipped to founding club members in March and newly designed kits will continue to ship to subscribed members on a monthly basis. Recipes and food samples in each kit are promised to remain free from all of the eight most common allergens, gluten, and animal-based products. In an effort to keep the club as inclusive as possible, a database of existing club members' diet needs and preferences will be utilized for each future kit design. Each kit includes recipes, skill tutorials, themed games and activities, culinary tools, products samples and coupons from participating sponsors, and other fun bonuses designed to teach, inspire, and empower future chefs.

- An estimated 39% of Americans are actively trying to eat more plant-based foods, avoiding meat, fish, eggs, and milk.

- The prevalence of food allergy in children increased by 50 percent between 1997 and 2011
