Private Chef for Birthday BBQ – Newstead (6 December) Hi! I’m looking for a private chef to help with a birthday BBQ celebration on Saturday, 6 December, between 12pm and 5pm in Newstead. We’ll be around 20 people, and the idea is to have a relaxed and fun afternoon with a mix of appetizers and grilled meats cooked on the building’s BBQ area. I can buy all the ingredients in advance — I just need someone to: • Prepare and cook the food (both appetizers and BBQ) • Handle plating and basic serving • Take care of the clean-up afterwards The BBQ area is well-equipped, but you’re welcome to bring your own utensils or tools if preferred. Looking for someone friendly, professional, and experienced with private events or catering. Please include a brief description of your experience or examples of similar events you’ve done.

Looking for a Personal Chef ❤️ Allergy-Safe Cooking for Toddler Hi, we are looking for a reliable personal chef to prepare fresh, home-cooked meals for our toddler. They have multiple food allergies, so it’s very important that all meals are allergy-safe, cross-contamination free, and prepared with care. 🔹 Allergies to avoid: dairy, wheat, eggs, cashews, pistachios, rye, barley, and sesame (mild). 🔹 Meals must be: balanced, nutritious, toddler-friendly, and focused on allergy-safe ingredients. I’ll be able to provide recipes and ideas. 🔹 Requirements: • All food cooked from scratch (no pre-packaged meals). • Strict attention to allergies and safe food preparation. • Willing to create a mix of main meals and snacks that can be stored for the week. • Ideally someone with experience cooking for children with dietary restrictions. We’d like meals prepared weekly (or twice a week if needed for freshness), and we can discuss whether it’s best to cook in our home or have meals prepared in yours and delivered. If you have experience with allergy-safe cooking and a passion for creating healthy toddler meals, I’d love to hear from you!
