Food is important

How it works

Perfect for busy people, the elderly, when you’ve just had a baby or if you simply hate cooking – I’ve got you covered

  • Choose recipes from a handpicked list, ready for me to rustle up 5-6 dishes in a kitchen session (each serves 4 or more) and fill your fridge and freezer
  • We’ll confirm the booking date and I’ll send you the shopping list – check your cupboards for the essentials before you buy in the ingredients!
  • I come to your home (from around 9.30am) and get cooking for the next 3-4 hours – simply show me where everything is and leave me to it 
  • You get a range of individually portioned or family-sized meals and bakes, prepared to your personal requirements (including dietary needs)
