What do cooking services include?
You can hire a cook to provide food for a range of meals and occasions, from home cooking and meal prep to specialty cooking and even dinner party catering. You can arrange cooking services to happen in your own kitchen or your cook can bring the food ready-prepared. Your chef will take care of everything from buying ingredients to cleaning up. Here’s what you can expect depending on your cooking service:
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.

Meal prep at home (recurring)

Snaresbrook, Greater London
5th Dec 2024
Hi all, I'm reaching out from Leytonstone in East London. I'm looking for someone to come to my home each week and prepare my meals for the week. I'm following a healthy diet, so ideally, I'd love high-protein meals with plenty of vegetables and low carbs. I need two meals per day, so roughly 10-12 meals prepared each visit. I enjoy a variety of cuisines: Indian, Arabic, Chinese, Mexican, Caribbean, and Italian. I'm happy to have the groceries delivered beforehand to make things easier. I am happy with two dishes per week (5 meal each) and then rotate the menu the following week. Let me know if you're interested, and we can discuss rates and scheduling. Notes: The proposed pay below is per week for one session (assuming it will take 1-2 hours). I will order the groceries. Feel free to counter with an offer . Thanks!

My son is having a bike-themed party in a few weeks, and I’m looking for someone who can help decorate the kids’ table and cake table with a BMX/race theme. The kids will only be seated for about an hour to eat, so I don’t want to spend a fortune, but I’d love to create a wow factor for them. There will be 11 kids in total.
