Portion sizes

Our dinners will fill your belly.

Dinner sizes

We offer two dinners sizes.

Size	Serves
2-person	2 adults
Family	2 adults plus 2-4 kids

Each dinner comes with a main and side.
Family is twice the size of 2-person.

Choosing a size

On your appointment page under "appointment details", pick an order size for your dinners (2-person or family size).

💡 Your order size applies to your entire appointment. You cannot order 2-person size for just one dinner.

You can set your default order size for all future appointments on your profile page.

Quantity of food

Your Elf cooks three nights of dinners (main + side) in a cooking appointment from our large menu. For each dinner, you'll receive:

2-person size	Family size
3 containers of mains (1 for each night), each at least 2/3 full	6 containers of mains (2 for each night), each at least 2/3 full
3 containers of sides (1 for each night), each at least 1/2 full	3-6 containers of sides (1-2 for each night), each at least 1/2 full

💡 For family size dinners, mains typically fill 2 containers and a sides fill 1-2 containers. But chefs may provide larger containers than our standard 28 oz ones, so the container count may vary.

Proteins

If you order a meat with our family size dinners, our mains include:

Meat only	Meat/vegetable blend
2 pounds protein (e.g. Crispy parmesan chicken tenders)	1 pound protein (e.g. Teriyaki salmon and broccoli)

If you order a produce-based side (e.g. crispy asian brussels sprouts), our family-size dinners include roughly 2 lbs (4 cups) of vegetables.
2-person size dinners include half the protein size and/or produce.

Really hungry?

If you have a big appetite, order from our casserole menu (see our filter).

Our portions are a bit larger than usual.
