I live in LA. I have friends who do this. They're usually very highly trained and completely in tune with the foodie inner circles...but they opt out of traditional restaurant work because they are pursuing something else, like art. If it weren't for the fact that I find a lot of pleasure in cooking, I'd use their services. They save you in the long run because they do the shopping and know where all the good deals are. I mean what normal person will travel to the next county just to pick up lobter at $5 per pound?

Lauren Conrad it’s such a great concept

Lauren Conrad it’s my business and I’m happy to say it’s going so well. And I get so much joy nourishing people’s bodies for them so they can focus on their mind and soul ❤️

this is not genius. just work from 1 location make multiple batches and supply your clients. you can do more clients with less time

You were great on the Eric Andre show

Paranormal Seeker that’s such a great idea!

It would be great for me too. But for the quality of the food she is making I wouldn't be able to afford it. As I don't work because I can't! Anything I eat in the day has to be microwavable as I sometimes forget I left the oven on with food in it 🤦(part of my illness). Everything she makes looks so fresh though 🙂

@@lucya3359 I understand that. Sometimes I can't leave my bed because my legs won't work. But it would be nice to have so I'd actually eat during the day. Plus Proper nutrition is a huge thing for helping manage the bodys pain and the mind. I feel the best when I have proper nutrition. Also dinners would be nice for my fam on days I can't stand long enough to cook and the hubby is working 16hrs a day 6 days a week. I use to meal prep dinners for the freezer with my mom and sis in law. We would get together and cook all day.. I'd make 3 different meals for 3 family's and they'd each do 3 different meals for 3 family's, then we'd swap. It worked out nicely. I just can't do all day cooking anymore.

@@imablank9701 I completely understand, I hardly leave my bed (chronic pain) and am in a wheelchair. Proper nutrition is so important

Or just use skip the dishes or any other food delivery service, order from healthy places, for sure it's cheaper then having a private chef.

Bella Biddle go for it!

You can start next week.

Yes, I encourage you to get into it if you enjoy cooking! It doesn't have to be a dream. You just have to learn how to obtain clients.

Yeah that s what I thought

Billie is my life stealing isn’t that hard 🤭

Mine were free with my phone. So were my daughter’s. Neither of us use them!

If you have literally any job, you can save $100

@@powerpuff4ever I need six figures before I can try to convince myself to pay someone $100 to snip the wires off some earbuds

AMEN

Girl. Same.

I would do it if someone bought me the groceries

You are hired!

Yea ….? You’d be paying yourself. How much money you’d be saving every week

it should be in a hairnet though

There's a whole business in cooking for seniors actually! This is a luxury service, so luxury prices are recommended. Not all seniors are living off low incomes.

Egg farts on the bus are so wrong 🤣🤣🤣

lol

That's smart! 2 eggs a day

Yeah, I was wondering the same. She seems to have a nice place, so it must pay decently.

Wondering the same, also because she doesn't have prices on her website (Checked because I was curious)

I guess it depends on dietary needs, portions, and such

its probably pretty expensive, you have to count the money spent on grocerys too, and groceries are not cheap to start off

so I basically do this for the family I nanny for. Except I cook dinner. Instagram aesthetic, restaurant/casual/healthy stuff but indulgent. Tonight I did lettuce cups with half ground turkey, half Smart Ground some popcorn shrimp and made potstickers with various sauces I made. If I had to charge for the cooking dinner alone it'd be at least $100 a night plus groceries. So I guess I'd charge the same for 5 days of meal Prep. (I don't recommend more cause the food gets kind ehh by day 5 in my opinion) The wife is pescatarian and the husband is a major carnivore but he has gout and really shouldn't eat a lot of meat. That's why I used smart ground for the wife's lettuce cups and ground turkey mixed with Smart ground for the husband and child! I typically spend $20-50 per meal to feed 3* adults and a child (*they encourage me to add a portion for myself and take any leftovers, though I've gotten better and usually only make enough for one portion of leftovers which the wife likes to eat for lunch the next day). Cost is not an issue for this family so I get to play with fun ingredients and basically have no restrictions so sometimes I spend $60 on Sea Bass alone or get Lobster just 'cause. However, I usually try to see what they have in the fridge and add on from there. I always photograph the food because I think I'd like to eventually like to make an instagram for it and do it like this girl. It's awesome!

This has done the opposite and made me want to hire a meal prepper or maid lol

@South I will give a tip whenever you are watching a cooking video and there is annoying music,but they are not talking just open another tab and listen to your own music

Agreed!

Saekoa ikr

Yoir user name is so true tho

Yah

Can't you meal prep during the weekend.

​@@timowthie i get almost no free time during the working week, I even have to work a lot during the weekend, so every minute of free time I get i want to spend enjoying myself or socialising.

@@tipsycat27 let me guess you live in America?

@@timowthie i live in the UK

@@tipsycat27 why do you have to work so much? Do you live in London?

She cooked things, so all the client has to do is simply reheat the dish.

I guess the two things apply to meal prep, but i would call the "preparing the ingredients for cooking later on" action "mise en place" more than meal prep.

@@saraangel6696 mise en place is prepairing a workplace in gastronomy.

Same i thot she wil just prep it

or her nose.

Ha! I thought the same thing lol

Girly AK could u let me help get a job in this????

So cool :)

@Maria Barrera If your good at cooking, I did allot of keto and low carb meals, I started at $11.50 an hour and after 3 months she loved my service, cooking, doing laundry and cleaning she gave me a raise to $12. Talk to a potential customer and hash out your skills and what is expected and be timely. I used the website care.com to find clients but there are many websites you can use

Interesting how your culture varies, in the US someone who meal preps and cooks for a client like that is usually revered, if not slightly famous in their circles. However, cleaning people are still looked down upon, because it is a low paying job, and thought of as low skill.

Yeah same in India

It's very hard to prepare and cook when disabled. I completly understand. I'm looking into my areas technical career school for students to come prep meals for me and my fam.

Alison Edwards ok my name is allison edwards and it just freaked me out because i thought i commented! 😂😂

yeah basically

Victoria Marz fucking same

Usually you calculate out total acquisition cost, and then you have to decide what rate/percent you think is fair to be payed. Something similar to a florist.

@@ItsWhoIAmItsHowILive acquisition as in purchasing the required ingredients? i assume most of the cost comes from the labor aspect so you'd be charging quite a bit if this was a big part of your income... sounds hard to find clients

also how tf does she get into their houses?

@@KD-dr3gy she probably has a key 🤷 like a nanny or housekeeper would. Especially if it's a regular client, it just makes it more convenient.

@@shawneeherendeen haha yes I figured. I am a nanny and didn't have keys till about a year in and they were loose family friends. I guess there are a lot of apps and services now that require home access so it's not as weird for people to give a kinda stranger access to their house.
