Meet Riff!

Some nights you want something better than takeout, but starting from scratch feels like too much. Riff bridges the gap with chef-crafted dinners that make restaurant-quality cooking feel easy, creative, and entirely your own.

Meet the Founders

Chef Daniel Humm and Mark Ramadan have always riffed off each other's strengths. Daniel knows how to make food extraordinary. Mark knows how to bring extraordinary food to more people. Together, they saw a gap between the food people aspire to cook and what real life leaves time for. So they decided to build Riff, creating a new kind of meal kit that makes cooking easier without removing the creativity, pride, and joy of making dinner.

A Career in Good Taste

Before Riff, Daniel spent decades reimagining extraordinary food. From his first Michelin star, to the world's best restaurant. Now, he's coming to your kitchen.
