    FAQs

    How much does a part-time cook cost per month?
    Monthly plans start at AED 360 for eight 1-hour sessions (twice a week), AED 540 for 12 sessions and AED 900 for 20 sessions. Two-hour sessions start at AED 560 a month.
    Do I need to provide the groceries?
    Yes — you buy the ingredients you want and the cook prepares everything in your kitchen. That keeps you in full control of quality, budget and diet.
    How much can a cook prepare in one session?
    A 1-hour session comfortably covers a fresh meal for a small family. A 2-hour session is better for 3–4 dishes or batch cooking for the week.
    Can I book the same cook every week?
    Yes. Monthly plans run 2, 3 or 5 times a week and we keep the same cook wherever possible so they learn your taste and your kitchen.
    Are your cooks vetted?
    Every cook is interviewed, reference-checked and trained on hygiene and kitchen safety before working in homes.
