A skilled home cook transforms your family’s evenings. HomeStaff cooks and chefs plan menus, buy fresh ingredients, and prepare daily meals that suit your family’s taste, diet and budget. From everyday desi cooking — daal, sabzi, korma, fresh roti — to continental dishes, party catering and specialist diet food, our cooks are matched to your kitchen. Every cook is police-verified, experienced and used to working in family kitchens with children and elders around, so hygiene and discipline come as standard.
What Our Cooks / Chefs Do
Our cooks work with households of every size across the twin cities. A typical full-time cook arrives before lunch, prepares two fresh meals a day plus roti or rice, keeps the kitchen clean after each meal, and manages grocery lists within your weekly budget. Part-time cooks cover a single meal shift. For events, our party cooks prepare biryani, BBQ and dessert spreads for gatherings of up to 150 guests at your home.

How We Verify
Every cook passes our food-safety focused screening: police verification, identity confirmation, an interview covering kitchen hygiene practices, reference calls with at least two families they have cooked for, and a supervised cooking trial where our staff taste and inspect the food. Only cooks who clear every step reach your shortlist, and each placement still begins with a free trial day in your own kitchen.

FAQs
Can the cook handle special diets like diabetes or gluten-free?
Yes. Tell us the diet at booking and we shortlist cooks experienced with diabetic, low-oil, high-protein and other therapeutic diets. A trial day confirms the taste before you commit.
Who buys the groceries?
It is your choice. Most families give the cook a weekly budget and shopping list; the cook buys daily fresh items and keeps the receipts.
Can a cook cater a dinner party of 30–40 guests?
Yes — our party cooks regularly handle dawats of up to 150 guests at home, from biryani and karahi to BBQ and desserts. We quote per menu.
What if the family doesn’t like the cooking?
Use the free trial day to judge taste. If it still doesn’t work out, our 24-hour replacement guarantee brings a new cook within a day.
Can the cook cook both lunch and dinner?
Yes. Full-time cooks prepare two fresh meals daily plus roti; timing follows your family routine.
