Less time cooking, more of your week back

This isn't a dinner party — it's the week made easier. One visit to your kitchen replaces the nightly question of what to cook, the last-minute takeaway, and the effort of eating well when you're busy. What's left in the fridge afterwards is real, home-cooked food, built around what you actually want to eat.

Plan your week

Tell me about your household and I'll reply with a rotating menu and a quote.

Rows of stacked takeaway-style containers packed with rice, vegetables and chicken, ready to reheat.

How it works

From your first message to a fridge full of meals

  1. Tell me about your household.

    How many people, how often you want to eat in, and anything you want more or less of.

  2. I design a menu for you.

    Built around your taste, your guests, and wherever in the world you would like to travel.

  3. We refine it together.

    Change a course, adjust for an allergy, add a wine — nothing is fixed until you are happy with it.

  4. We confirm the date and the price.

    In writing, in full, before anything is bought.

  5. I cook in your kitchen.

    I arrive, I cook, I serve, and I leave your kitchen as I found it.

I cook across Cape Town — Sea Point, Camps Bay, Hout Bay, Green Point and the City Bowl, and anywhere else in the city worth driving to.

Start with step one

What it costs

Why there is no price list

There is no price list because there is no fixed menu. What a week of meals costs depends on what goes into it, and quoting an average would be misleading.

Two things move the price, and nothing else does:

  • The ingredients. What the menu asks for, and how far it has to travel to your kitchen.
  • The number of meals. How many portions your household needs to get through the week.

Tell me what you have in mind and the next step is a written quote — itemised, free, and with no obligation. Nothing is bought and nothing is committed until you have read it and said yes.

Ask for a quote

Questions people ask before booking a week

How much time does this actually save me?
The shopping, the cooking, the cleanup and the daily decision of what to eat all happen once, in one visit, instead of every night. What's left for you is opening the fridge and reheating.
Does it fit around how I want to eat?
Yes. Tell me what you're after — more protein, more vegetables, plant-based, or simply what your household actually likes — and the rotating menu is built around that, the same way every menu on this site is written from scratch rather than picked off a list.

Plan your week

Tell me about your household and I'll reply with a tailored menu and a quote. Nothing is confirmed until you have read it and agreed to it.

Required.

Approximate is fine.

When

The earliest date I can take is 7 days from today — a tailored menu means agreeing the dishes, shopping and preparing properly. I confirm availability by reply.

For every guest, if it varies. Leave blank if none — a menu can't be planned safely around this being missed, so it gets its own line rather than living inside the message below.

Who it's for, what you'd like it to feel like, and a cuisine you'd like to travel to — the occasion above tells me what kind of thing this is; this is what makes it yours. The more I know about what you're picturing, the closer the first menu I send back will be to it.

Or reach me directly

If you would rather write or call, both reach me the same day.
