I contacted Samantha through Airtasker as a private chef for a surprise birthday dinner for two. Samantha provided us with a beautiful dinner which was French inspired. The serving sizes were good and the quality of the food was wonderful. Samantha was very easy to work with and really helped to make the evening special. I'd highly recommend her for any catering job.

What does a chef experience include?
A chef service is your key to having delicious, nutritious, and affordable meals in the comfort of your home without the daily grind of planning, preparing, and cooking. Taskers with chef jobs near you can assist you with your everyday meals and can customise them according to your needs! Here are a few of the perks you can have when you hire a chef online:
Meal preparation and planning
Do you love rice meals? Hate onions? Want more garlic? A chef-for-hire learns your needs and preferences for them to create delicious and healthy meals personalised to your tastes and dietary requirements. Whether you’re on a strict diet because you’re looking to improve your fitness or just want to have a taste of different dishes, getting someone to prep and plan your meals is perfect for when you’re struggling to come up with meal ideas!
In-house chef
For those who love having delicious home-cooked meals but don’t have the time to whip them up themselves, getting a personal food chef is truly convenient! They can come to your home with everything needed and prepare multiple customised meals in your kitchen. You can even have a stay-at-home chef when you need a meal or snack any time of the day! They can cook meals ready to be consumed immediately or prepare a batch of meals for the week and store them in your freezer. They will leave your kitchen spick and span, filled with aromas of freshly prepared meals and dishes.
On top of your chef service, you can also get a personal grocery shopper on Airtasker! They can go to the nearest supermarket and pick up your needed items, so you don’t have to step outside.
Parties and catering
Planning to host a dinner party? Book a chef job and let a professional chef take a load off your shoulders! They can handle the prepping and cooking and ensure a smooth dining experience for you and your guests. From intimate gatherings up to big family parties of 30 or more, hiring a private chef can undoubtedly help you achieve a successful and stress-free event.
Besides personal chefs, you can also get a caterer with just one post on our platform instead of spending hours looking up local catering companies. You can even go all the way and hire a baker to create a custom cake! Whether it’s a simple dedication cake or an all-out themed cake, professional bakers on Airtasker can handle your needs.

There are three of us, one trained in the kitchen, one amateur enthusiast, and one birthday boy who is turning 13, who would love to grow his culinary passions and has a massively developed palette. We'd love to spend 3 hours preparing a basic three course menu, learning a few common techniques, and having a generally instructional but fun time! Price would be inclusive of ingredients, with a menu heavy in high-quality meats and low on sugar and starches. Weirder and more creative, the better!

Private Chef for ANZAC Day Lunch

16th Mar 2024
Hi there I will be hosting an ANZAC day lunch on the 25th of April from 1.00pm and would like a private chef to compose and cook a menu (or a high-tea) for 6 pax. Would like three courses, or a fancy cocktail high-tea depending on the suggested menu. The suggested budget should include all labour and ingredients and everything can be done in our (small) kitchen, or prepped offsite and brought in and heated onsite. We have a 4 burner gas fan forced oven (the oven gets quite hot), plus a microwave and Air Fryer. Can provide most cooking utensils if needed as well as a magic bullet, all cutlery, plates and serving dishes - though you may want to do a site visit prior to the actual date to check what we have. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks.
Stanley was so on to it. Everyone had a fab time. Thanks Stanley.
