Suggested reads about Private Chef

What do private chef services include?

When opening up private chef jobs on Airtasker, you can fully customise the task depending on your need. You have control over the inclusions and budget so that personal chefs can prepare all food based on your preferences or requirements. This means that you can enjoy any cuisine without worrying if it meets your dietary needs. Here are some things to expect when booking a private chef near you through our platform:

In-house chef

Having a private chef at home can give any meal an upgrade. Hire a Tasker for special occasions like anniversaries or birthdays. Treat a loved one to a spread of all his breakfast favourites topped off with home-baked dessert. A professional chef can dedicate a day to create a menu and dining experience that rivals a fancy restaurant. The best part is you don’t even have to leave your home or bother with dress code restrictions. Have a candle-lit steak and wine night in your sleepwear if you want!

Meal prepping and planning

A private chef can also cook for you regularly, either preparing meals fresh daily or batch cooking a few dishes for the whole week. Feel free to let them know about your dietary requirements and preferences. They can even handle the grocery shopping for you and get quality ingredients for a full-course meal. Booking a personal chef service means your Tasker can also work with your fitness trainer or consult with a licensed nutritionist before creating a bespoke menu based on your current health status and goals.

Lastly, there’s no need to worry about cleaning up after cooking. These can all be handled by your Tasker whether they cook in your kitchen or prepare the meals in theirs and deliver it to you instead. All you need to do is sit back and savour your delicious food!

Dinner parties and catering

You can also hire a personal chef for group gatherings and events. Why bother slaving off in the kitchen to create an impressive feast? There’s also no need to arrange for pot luck any more for private dinner parties and Sunday lunches. Having a private chef for a dinner party will surely make event planning a breeze! You can enjoy your guests’ company without worries because a highly-rated Tasker has the kitchen under control. You can book catering for a small family reunion or a huge get-together with friends! Gone are the days when decadent dishes and fine dining is reserved for five-star restaurants. Transform any space into a food haven with a private chef on Airtasker!

Private chef for dinner for 2

Clayton VIC, Australia

17th Aug 2022

I'm after a private chef to cook at my home a dinner for myself and my partner for her birthday. I'm open to all menu ideas, but we especially do like our meat, carbs and desserts. We're after the novelty and convenience of having dinner prepared for us at our own home while also enjoying some high quality meals. The date must be Saturday 8 October and can accommodate common dinner times in the evening. The budget I'm looking at is $300 - $400 for everything included (ingredients, cooking at my home) and is not the amount after Airtasker fee (so I will be paying this total amount rather than this + fees). I am open slightly more expensive options if they're the right option. Thanks! - Due date: Needs to be done on Saturday, 8 October 2022 EDIT 17/08: - I would prefer an earlier start (~5-6pm) - We are not interested in alcohol except for maybe a little bit of wine if it pairs with food well - I have a 900mm 5 burner gas stove top and a modern oven

Pleasant and approachable communication, great food choices and well cooked. Excellent cleaning. Thanks!

I'm from Holland a d my friends emigrated 12 years ago to Australia. Now de male one (his name is Marco) is turning 50 on September 21st and some friends from Heemskerk (the Netherlands) want to surprise him on his bday with a chef. Now I understood that with the lockdown people can not have visitors etc, but maybe it can be delivered and his wife Sher can do the finishing touch or so? Hope to hear from you Kind regards, Renee from the Netherlands ;)
