Welcome to
Pregnancy Chef
Let’s be honest… knowing what to eat and what not to eat while pregnant can be confusing.
That’s why we created Pregnancy Chef – a nutritious, ready-to-eat meal delivery service designed to cut through the many do’s and don’ts of eating when you’re pregnant, breastfeeding or trying-to-conceive.
Where We Started
Pregnancy Chef was born (excuse the pun) when our founders recognised how hard and confusing it can be for new and expecting mums to get their daily nutritional needs, while navigating complicated food-safety rules.
Our mission is to be an extra set of hands for exhausted mums and ensure they, and their growing bubs, are getting delicious and nutritious meals that are super easy to prepare (we’re talking ready-to-eat, delivered to your door kind of easy).
Nutritious and delicious? How did we manage that?
Crafted by Experts
Pregnancy Chef’s seasonal menu is designed by the very clever culinary team at Bitton (delicious) and an accredited practising dietitian (nutritious).
Designed for Mothers
We’ve been very busy in the lab and in the kitchen to ensure our meals consider the nutrients required for each stage of pregnancy, and still taste like something you want to eat.
Seasonal Menus
Our menu is seasonally updated with ready-to-eat meals, including a range of poultry, meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan options.
Safe & Convenient
All ingredients are sourced fresh and carefully prepared in our kitchen. Our meals are designed and cooked to ensure they are completely safe to consume during pregnancy, free from preservatives or food additives.

Our Food Promise
Nutritionally balanced, and
nutrient dense
Nutrient requirements increase for expecting mothers, yet we know that it’s often difficult to get all the vitamins and minerals you need. Our meals have been created with expert dietitian knowledge to ensure they consider the key nutrients needed to support the health of your developing baby. We’ve focussed on ingredients that contain folate, calcium, iron, iodine and omega-3s, which are especially important for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying-to-conceive.
Deliciously tasty and
free from preservatives or food additives
Taste is paramount to our recipe development. All Pregnancy Chef meals have been created by a respected chef, David Bitton, and contain no preservatives or additives. We use fresh ingredients without any hidden nasties.
Safe, reliable ingredients
for every stage of pregnancy
Inhibited immune systems can make it more common for women to fall ill from food poisoning during pregnancy. Pregnancy Chef meals leave out all the foods that are not safe to eat during pregnancy, making it super simple to figure out what’s for dinner without having to Google every ingredient. Pregnancy Chef meals are also made fresh and then snap-frozen. Freezing increases shelf life, preserves most nutrients and is a natural way to keep food safe without the need to add chemical preservatives.
