Creating unique, delicious meals for busy people

Enjoy the convenience of freshly-prepared meals with Umami flair 

A lot of us use the word "busy" to describe our lives these days. And rightly so, many of us have lives that are chock-full of work, family, and social engagements. Often there's little time left over for simply relaxing or tackling personal endeavours. 

Established in 2013, Umami Personal Chef reduces the time, stress, and hassle associated with meal preparation and cooking. With over 15 years of professional culinary experience, Chef Michael Schmidt delivers personal chef services to busy people throughout the Lower Mainland who don't have the time to prepare healthy meals, but still want to enjoy delicious food.
