Description
Home chefs are catering professionals specialized in preparing and cooking food at the client's home. This service can be offered both to ensure greater customer comfort, which avoids displacement, and to facilitate a more complete gastronomic experience, since customers can also participate and share first-hand the experience of cooking the meals.
These professionals work closely with their clients in order to offer them a personalized service: they are responsible for the provision of food, its preparation and the subsequent cleaning of the kitchenware and the workspace of the kitchen of the home where they have been working.
They must consider their customers' preferences when personalizing and planning meals in order to ensure their satisfaction. Also, they must have nutrition and health knowledge in case a customer follows strict dietary guidelines or has food allergies.
Sometimes, they are specialised in some type of cuisine and, as an added value to the gastronomic experience, they may offer cooking classes or tastings of both local and foreign cuisine. These more exclusive experiences are offered with high quality standards and provide a more specialized service.
These professionals are hired more frequently for events, celebrations or holiday periods.
