A method of providing restaurant-quality meals for a home cook is disclosed. The meal kit process aids the home cook by shortening meal preparation time and improves the home cook's technical cooking skills with its detailed instructions and extensive background information. This method comprises the steps of a professional chef offering extensive cultural, historical, culinary, and technical information regarding a meal. The home cook orders a meal kit online, whereupon a professional cook acquires the necessary ingredients, prepares the meal ingredients in a restaurant-quality facility, packages the individual sections into a meal kit, and delivers the meal kit to the home cook's residence. The home cook completes the meal by cooking the protein and the side dish(s) and/or assembling a salad.
