Good questions

Do I need an account?
Not for the free recipes. When you buy the kit, Whop creates your account, and that’s where your files live.
Do I need a stove or an oven?
No. Every recipe needs a fridge. Most need no cooking at all, and a few use a microwave you’re allowed to use.
Is it a subscription?
No. The Starter Kit is $19, paid once. AI Chef will be a separate, optional monthly plan later.
I can’t find my files
Open “Find my files” and sign in to Whop with the email you used at checkout. Still stuck? Email [email protected].
Can I get a refund?
Write to us. We review refund requests case by case, and approved refunds go back through Whop.
Is AI Chef live?
Not yet. The AI Chef page shows a scripted example. Join the pilot list to get one of the first seats.

Every recipe needs a fridge. Check labels for allergens and follow storage and heating instructions. Dorm Chef doesn’t give medical or diet advice.
