Cooking Services
What do cooking services include?
Home cooking
Want fresh meals in your home? Your home chef can either offer regular home cooking services where they cook multiple nights per week, or provide a one-off meal if you just need occasional help. Your private chef will ask if you have any food preferences or intolerances, how many people they need to cook for, and what appliances and equipment they can use. They’ll usually plan the meals ahead of time, purchase the ingredients, and freshly cook the meals in your kitchen, and then clean up before they go.
Baking
Want to impress your best friend with an amazing cake for her birthday party? Or perhaps it’s your turn to bring some baking to work for morning tea? Hire a pastry chef or professional baker to create a cake, biscuits, muffins, or something else tasty. They’ll ask you how many people you’re baking for, any flavour preferences, and any special decorations you’d like. Your baker will bake at their place and deliver the finished product to your home or office once it’s ready.
Dinner party chef
If you’re planning a dinner party with friends, why not hire a dinner party chef to help take all the stress out of hosting? Your professional cook will contact you to confirm the number of guests, what courses/canapes you’d like, and whether the event is formal or informal. They’ll usually prepare most of the food where the event is being held (whether at your home or at a venue) and clean up the kitchen after they’re done.
Specialty cooking
Cooking paleo, vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free can be a challenge, whether it’s for yourself, a family member, or for an event you’re catering. Fortunately, many cooks are experienced with a range of different food requirements, including food intolerances, special diets, and allergies. When you hire a cook, they’ll choose recipes and ingredients that are suitable, confirming any dietary requirements before they get started. They’ll be careful to avoid cross-contamination if they’re preparing alternative meals for certain members of your family or party.
Meal preparation & planning
If you struggle to come up with meal ideas and always find yourself short of time throughout the week, why not hire a cook to prep your meals for the week? Your personal cook will confirm how many meals you’d like, the number of people, and if you have any preferences. They’ll choose meals that keep well and are easy to store, and taste great fresh or reheated. They’ll either prepare the food in your kitchen (cleaning up afterwards) or drop your freshly prepared meals off when they’re done, packaged and ready for the fridge or freezer.

Ongoing Meal Prep Chef
$350
Macquarie Park NSW, Australia
17th Mar 2025
Looking for someone who can cook healthy meals for my wife and I every week. We both work so it's hard to meal prep and keep the kitchen clean. We are after someone who can come to our place and prep & cook meals on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9am - 12pm. Some meals can be prepared for us to easily cook whilst others can be cooked, ready to eat. Additionally, we would like someone to clean dishes, pots, load/unload dishwasher and wipe kitchen surfaces every session. Long term opportunity. Please share photos of dishes you have made before. We prefer chicken and seafood.
Meal Prep Chef - Healthy

Im looking for someone to come and prepare weekly meals for my wife and I. We're looking for about 18 servings per week ( 3 meals a day for 6 days a week) We can eat the same foods but the serving sizes might be different as I'd be aiming for about 2300 calories and she would be aiming for 1300 calories. For the ratio, looking for 190-210 gm of protein, ~70 gm of fats and the rest can be carbs (ideally with lower glycemic index - occasional rice/bread is okay) The requirements - No added sugar - Even natural sugars is severely limited - No saturated or trans fats - Oils only use extra virgin olive oil / beef tallow - Avoid seed oils - Lactose intolerant - prefer to avoid corn This can be delivered twice a week to our place. We can provide non-plastic containers to store the food. Budget does not include cost of food. We would pay for groceries separately but would want the person to source things for us.

Weekly meal prep at home – healthy & balanced meals for family of 3
$250
North Ryde NSW 2113, Australia
20th Feb 2025
Looking for someone to help with weekly meal prep at our home! We’re a small family (2 adults + 1 toddler) and would love to have healthy, balanced meals prepared for the week. What we’re looking for: • Someone who can come to our home and cook using ingredients we provide. • Preparation of 3-4 different dishes to cover the week. • Healthy, balanced meals – mainly protein + carb + vegetable/salad. • Meals should be calorie-conscious (doesn’t have to be exact but roughly 80% accurate). • Quick and efficient cooking – ideally 2-3 hours max, including cleanup. Meal breakdown: • 3 lunch & dinner options (one chicken, one beef, one fish/lamb). • 1 dessert or snack option. How it works: 1. We plan the meals together ahead of time. 2. We purchase the ingredients based on our discussion. 3. You come over and cook & clean up afterward. Looking for someone who enjoys cooking, understands balanced meals, and is efficient in the kitchen. Would love to find someone for ongoing weekly prep! If this sounds like you, send me a message with your experience and rates! 😊🍽️
