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.

Home Cook for Weekly Meal Prep – Indian & Family Meals

$160

Rouse Hill NSW 2155, Australia

27th Sep 2026

We’re looking for an experienced home cook/meal-prep person to come to our home in the Rouse Hill area, preferably on Sundays, to prepare meals for our family for the week. We’re particularly looking for someone comfortable cooking Indian home-style food, including: * Dal and vegetable dishes * Chicken, lamb and fish curries * Rice dishes, khichdi and other everyday meals * Simple, healthy home-style food rather than restaurant-style cooking Knowledge of Maharashtrian and/or Mangalorean cuisine is highly preferred. We’d also love someone who can prepare some Western meals such as pasta, baked dishes, soups, grilled/roasted chicken and other easy family meals so we can have some variety. We have a toddler, so some meals should be toddler-friendly — nutritious, mild in spice and low in salt where appropriate. Ideally, the toddler portion can be adapted from the family meal rather than requiring a completely separate dish. We can provide all the ingredients and agree on the menu beforehand. We’d like several dishes prepared during each visit, portioned/stored appropriately, with the kitchen left tidy afterwards. This will initially be a trial arrangement. If we enjoy the food and it’s a good fit, we’d be very happy to extend this into a regular weekly arrangement. Location: Rouse Hill Preferred day: Sunday When responding, please tell us a little about your cooking experience, the types of cuisines/dishes you specialise in, your Sunday availability, and your hourly or per-session rate. Thank you!

We need weekly preparation of vegetables and basic meat to be cooked for my wife and myself. This will include washing, chopping and cooking vegetables and cooking basic meat like beef and chicken. We’re keen for someone who loves cooking - but we’re seeking consistency and someone reliable who can come weekly. We will purchase the food and ingredients, and keen to work with the best person each week on any ideas to change up the upcoming week. We have two kids with allergies that we will manage their meals, therefore this service is just for myself and my wife. Happy to agree on an hourly rate if easiest.

Jayson is lovely to work with, thanks for promptly coming over to our place
