Suggested reads about Cooking

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.

East Ipswich QLD 4305, Australia

Expression of interest.. Looking for a cleaner - to do some light cleaning and cooking duties every Tuesday starting 10am and pass along some meal prep/cooking knowledge and some recommended recipes. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. Initial bond clean will be completed and carpets cleaned prior to start. Light duties include - * Wash, dry dishes and put away * Wipe down surfaces (kitchen and bathroom) * Vacuum and Mop (kitchen and bathroom) Separate task below - * Preparing 5-7 days worth of meals to freeze (not alone of course) I just need an extra set of hands in the kitchen and someone who knows how to meal plan for healthy eating. I don't have a large space for cooking or a broad range of cooking utensils/pots,pans etc so if prefered to cook at own residence that's also fine with me too. Happy for you to cook whatever floats your boat, I'm not fussy and have no allergies. No I am not lazy I honestly just need to have a clean, organised home and home cooking wouldn't go astray after the past few months I've had. Thanks. Previous task taken down as position has been met. - Due date: Needs to be done on Tuesday, 27 June 2023

Chef/Cook to Meal Prep one week of meals

$300

Deebing Heights QLD, Australia

3rd Mar 2023

I'm looking for someone with some appropriate qualifications to cook a week of meals (5 dinners and 6 lunches). Probably 2 different dishes per meal (for example 2 chicken dishes, 3 beef dishes to achieve 5 dinners). Some can be frozen if needed but a few fresh for the first few meals is preferred. The only dietary requirement is no capsicum. The meals will have to meet some specific macros for protein, fat & carbs. Some wiggle room with those is okay but as close as possible, please. The meals are for a 6-foot-tall, 110kg man. They must be decently large and fulfilling for someone who works out daily. Looking for someone who is happy to share with me the meal ideas so I can agree before they are made. This is a once-off at the moment, however, we are looking for a long-term setup if both parties are happy. I can pick up the meals or we could organise a drop-off. - Due date: Needs to be done on Monday, 3 April 2023
