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.

Make a Monster Truck themed cake for my son's 3rd birthday
$150
Surry Hills NSW, Australia
1st Jul 2024
I don't need the cake made at my home, but delivery would be appreciated if not close to the inner city. I would like a fondant cake made which is in the theme of Monster Jam 'The Megalodon' A blue/grey cake with a chocolate mound on one side (to rest a toy monster truck against). It would also be great if the Monster Jam sign could be on the side of the cake. And if my son's name can be written on the cake board, that would be fabulous. Cake needs to feed 20-25 ish people. See picture as a reference. I'd need the cake by 12.07.2024.

Bit of a last min request - need a cake baked and decorated for my partners 30th dinner tomorrow (Monday) night! It does have to be dairy free but everything else (including eggs) is totally fine. Basic decoration only (male) :). Something choc based would be ideal since he loves chocolate but open to suggestions too. I can collect!
Was so responsive and understanding when I wasn’t - made it easy thanks Freddy!

Somebody to come over and meal prep low-FODMAP meals for me
$150
Newtown NSW, Australia
25th May 2024
I am an individual struggling with ADHD, depression and IBS. I have to follow a low-FODMAP diet at the moment but I struggle to cook sometimes and have many food aversions. I keep cooking the same thing and I'm quite sick of it, not to mention I'm not getting all my nutrients. I need someone to come over and meal-prep some low-fodmap meals (let's say 10 meals). The catch is that you have to come up with those meals based on very restricted amounts of food I can eat. Maybe we could sit down and work it out together, but I will need you to lead the conversation as I'm struggling mentally at the moment and can't come up with anything myself. Then I could get the groceries, and you'd come over to cook the meals. Another catch is that if you accidentally put too much of something in, I will feel quite sick, so I need to be very responsible and careful. I have no idea how much this type of services should cost so name your price. Please reach out if you can help me.
