Required Family cook

From £25/hour

My name is Amanda, and my husband, toddler and I live in west Hackney. We care about eating well (delicious, healthy and fresh) and sustainably (organic, reducing waste, no meat) but are finding it hard to sustain this with a baby. So we’re looking at ways to do this better. I think what we’d like is someone to come over once a week (preferably Monday mornings) and do a large batch session so that we have tasty and healthy and homemade food during the start of the week. Looking for about 3 dinners with leftovers for lunch, plus other smaller bits and bobs (dressings, snacks, etc.) If that sounds interesting, please let me know.

Required Family cook

From £22/hour

We are a family of three, two adults and one toddler. We would love to have a private chef come over for a few hours a week (we expect 3 hours would be enough, but let us know) to batch cook home cooked meals. We would buy the ingredients and provide equipment (pans etc). We would expect the chef to prepare food, pack them into boxes for us to have over lunch and dinner for the three of us, and leave the kitchen tidy (we have a dishwasher so minimal need to do dishes by hand). We expect that in 3 hours the chef could prepare enough for 2 weeks’ worth of meals. Our toddler’s meals could be the same as our meals with adaptations (e.g. no chili spice, chopped up in small pieces, goes well with rice). We have no dietary requirements, except for me (mum), no alcohol and not too spicy.

From £35/hour

I am currently looking for a talented Indian home cook to join our family as we have specific dietary requirements. My wife and our 11-month-old son follow a vegetarian diet, so we require meals that suit both North and South Indian cuisine. Ideally, we would like the cook to start early in the morning to prepare fresh and delicious meals for the day. Although my husband is a non-vegetarian, we would prefer if the cook can also prepare non-vegetarian dishes. However, if the cook is a vegetarian, we are open to discussing and accommodating their dietary preferences. We are excited to welcome a skilled individual into our home to take care of our meal preparation needs. This part-time position is available for less than 20 hours per week, starting immediately. The schedule required is Monday through Thursday mornings. We are looking for someone who is experienced in cooking Indian cuisine and is comfortable preparing meals for a family. While we do not offer live-in accommodations, we prefer a live-out arrangement for our cook. If you have a passion for creating delicious and nutritious Indian dishes and have experience cooking for families, we would be thrilled to have you join our household. Please reach out to us if you are interested in this opportunity.

Required Private/personal cook, Family cook

We are currently seeking assistance in our home for meal preparation and batch cooking for our family. We have a special dietary requirement for our daughter, who has disabilities and follows the GAPS diet, a whole food/ancestral type diet that requires everything to be made from scratch. We are looking for someone who can help us with this task, splitting the work over 2-3 days to make it more manageable. As a parent, most of my time is spent caring for my daughter, taking her to therapies and appointments. This leaves little time for cooking and meal planning, which is why we need extra help in this area. We have all the necessary recipe books and guides to assist you, but it is important that you have a good understanding of simple home-style cooking. The ideal candidate for this position would be available on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and midday, Thursday mornings, and Friday mornings and midday. Experience in family and dietary cooking would be a plus, as we need someone who is familiar with the intricacies of preparing meals for individuals with specific dietary needs. This is a part-time position, requiring less than 20 hours per week, and we would prefer a live-out arrangement for convenience. If you are interested in this opportunity, we are looking for someone to start immediately. Your support in meal prep, menu planning, and batch cooking would be greatly appreciated in our household. Thank you for considering this position with our family.
