Suggested reads about Home Cooking

What do home cooking services include?

Hiring a home cook can change your overall eating experience. You can have home-cooked meals delivered when you’re craving something similar to your mum’s beef brisket or sticky toffee pudding recipe. Hiring a Tasker to prepare meals for you on an ongoing basis can remove the constant thinking about where to get healthy yet tasty home cooked food near you. Here’s what you can expect when you hire a home cook on Airtasker:

In-house cook

When you don’t have time to cook at home, meals can often be limited to what’s nearby and available. Hiring a Tasker to cook in your home allows you to enjoy hearty breakfasts and flavourful dinners without any hassle. There’s no need to block off portions of your day to slave away in the kitchen when you’re already too busy with work and other things to do on your list. Think of it as having your own personal chef, but the recipes can be more familiar and comforting.

Meals can be prepared one-time when you have family visiting or have batches of food prepared already for the week. Eliminate tasks like going to the grocery, cooking and cleaning up by hiring a Tasker to do all of it for you! Dig in a plate of yummy home-style baked pasta without lamenting about how to clean your oven.

Meal prepping and planning

Healthy eating can require a lot of time and effort when done by yourself. Hiring a home cook means you don’t have to struggle coming up with meal ideas, too! Let your Tasker know your dietary requirements and taste preferences. They can regularly visit to cook, store and freeze your menu for the week. If you prefer they cook at home, delivery of meals can be arranged as well. No more worrying about where to get reliable food delivery every mealtime. Just open up your fridge and take out what your Tasker prepared for that day. Pop it in the microwave or reheat it on a stovetop. Voilà, delicious food that’s ready to eat!

Dinner parties and catering

Get a home cook to cater for your dinner party or Sunday lunch. Instead of spending hours in the kitchen to prepare an impressive meal or bothering about pot luck, you and your guests can sit back and enjoy each other’s company. Your friends and family will appreciate being served meals that remind them of their childhood favourites. You can even ask your Tasker to use a family recipe if you want.

Home cooked vegan meals

Clayton South VIC, Australia

I’m looking for someone who can deliver or prepare for pick up home cooked vegan meals. I’m looking for meals that are able to be thrown in to a pan and reheated then eaten with rice or something which I can make. I’m fairly particular about my food and I like to cook for myself usually but am not finding the time or energy because of work at the moment. If you can prepare for example three meals a week to be heated then I’d love to hear from you. My preference is whole foods with no added sugar or syrups and minimal concentrates. Simple healthy and vegan as well. Cuisines like Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Thai, Mexican would be welcome. Look forward to hearing from you and working with you. If you could talk me through your pricing that would be great. Thanks - Due date: Flexible

Julia was able to work with me and offer many delicious sounding options for home cooked meal delivery. The meals were vegan and she was understanding of me wanting to eat mainly whole foods within that. I haven’t tried the food yet but it looks great, Julia listened to what I was interested in and when it was ready she delivered the food promptly. Highly recommend Julia as she is friendly engaging and easy to work with.

Hi there, We are a time poor couple who wants to improve our nutrition. We are hoping to find someone to cook for us twice at week, enough meals for the whole week (mix of things that can be frozen/eaten fresh) We have meals/recipes we want, but happy for your input. For the first week, food to be provided at our home, where you come and cook it. Moving forward, we are open to paying for someone to do the shopping before bringing the food to our house to cook. Or to pay for the shopping, have someone cook at their house, then drop the meals at ours. Happy to discuss to find something that works for all. We are pretty basic eaters, just looking for some yummy, healthy meals to be ready for us. TIA
