The Story Behind Prepistry

Founded by Chef Callie Renner, Prepistry was born out of years in professional kitchens, food systems work, and teaching everyday folks how to batch-cook like a pro — without needing a culinary degree or a Pinterest-perfect fridge.

Callie started this site to simplify the how of meal prep. She saw too many people falling off track not because they didn’t care, but because their routines weren’t built for real life. At Prepistry, we don’t chase gourmet. We chase done.

What We Believe

Prepistry is guided by a simple mission:
Make meal prep realistic, repeatable, and rooted in everyday life.

We believe:

The fridge should feel like a friend, not a puzzle
Prep can be flexible, even if your schedule isn’t
Batch cooking is a form of self-care, not a chore
You don’t need fancy gadgets or hours in the kitchen
There’s power in starting small — and sticking with it
