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.

family cook / meal prepper
$400
Sydney NSW 2044, Australia
15th Aug 2026
We’re looking for a reliable family cook / meal prepper to help with meals in our Sydney home on an ongoing basis. We’re a family of four and like simple, tasty, family-friendly food rather than gourmet meals. Think Simple Home Edit style — everyday ingredients, familiar flavours and food the whole family will actually eat. Meals we enjoy include mild curries, fried rice, salmon, spaghetti bolognaise, Italian dishes, schnitzel, roast dinners, lemon chicken, pasta bakes and Mexican/burritos. One child is a selective eater, so we need someone comfortable keeping meals mild and familiar and discreetly adding vegetables into sauces, mince, pasta and curries where possible. We’d also love homemade snacks each week such as muffins, banana bread, slices, savoury muffins, oat/muesli bars, fruit, vegetables, cheese and biscuits. The role would include: * Preparing family dinners * Batch cooking for later in the week * Preparing homemade snacks * Helping plan a simple weekly menu * Creating a grocery list * Portioning/storing meals * Leaving the kitchen clean and tidy We’re initially thinking 2 days per week, around 4 hours per visit, with the possibility of increasing to 3 days. We’re looking for someone who is a confident home cook, organised, reliable, comfortable cooking for children/selective eaters and interested in an ongoing arrangement. Budget: $40–$50 per hour depending on experience. We’d like to start with a paid trial session. Please tell us about your cooking experience, the types of meals you prepare and any experience cooking for families or children.
