About Us

Making mealtimes
better since 2020

BexTheChef was founded in May 2020 by husband-and-wife team Rebecca and Calvin Graca Dias, both professionally trained chefs from Silwood Kitchen in Cape Town. Their shared passion for food is what brought BexTheChef to life.

Our ethos is simple: high-quality, delicious meals made without cutting corners.

At BexTheChef, we truly value our customers and believe it’s the small details that make all the difference. If you’d like to hear what others think, take a look at our Google reviews – or better yet, try us for yourself.

"The most delicious and varied meals ! You are able to choose “regular”, vegetarian and low carb options and can add scrumptious “sweet treats” too - all delivered to your door, ready to eat! In addition, many hearty frozen meals are offered too. (I always stock up). Bex and her wonderful team have delivered to our home for years and her meals never disappoint!"

"I've used Bex to cater for 2 of my events this year (kids parties). She offered generous portions with her platters and was happy to customize an order to suit our needs for kids. Extremely helpful. Presentation of the food is also superb. 😀"

"Bex’s food is delicious. Its restaurant quality. You can taste the love and attention that goes into every meal. Its not just home cooked meals, but formulated and prepared by a chef. The portions are big and the price is great! Delivery is always on time. I order the fresh meals every week and keep my freezer stocked with frozen meals ICE. I look forward to my deliveries on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday!"

"Love BexTheChef! We've been getting delicious meals from them for years. Not only is it seriously convenient, but it's affordable and tastes like home-cooked dinners! Without actually having to cook them yourself. 😂 Their platters are fantastic and always a hit at an event! And as a vegetarian, I find that they have great veggie options. I also get their holiday cookie boxes every year for my neighbors. 😁 Def a win whenever you can order from Bex."
- Amy Montalvo
"I can't rave enough about BexTheChef. It's not easy to find quality, tasty freezer-friendly meals, but they have put my heart at ease every single time. They offer an amazing and affordable variety for all kinds of dietary needs without skimping on quality.Their weekly fresh meals menu never disappoints, and you get exactly what is described. They also give you the option to personalise your order, which is the ultimate game-changer. Their meals are convenient, they freeze really well and don't lose their freshness once reheated. Going from browsing the menu to delivery is seamless! I cannot fault them even if I wanted to.If I could have it my way, they would feed me every single day and twice on Sundays! The weekly desserts also sweeten the deal, making it difficult to pass up a great deal.My favourite are their polpetta meatballs, lamb stew, pork ribs, and tiramisu!"
