In-kitchen sessions

An in-kitchen batch-cooking session is a visit to your home: I cook a week of meal components from your own groceries, in your own kitchen, then portion, label and pack them and clean the work area. The base session is three hours. The Garraf comarca, province of Barcelona.

The method is the one I run in my own kitchen every week: the same three documents every time — a weekly plan, a grocery list and a kitchen sheet — with different food in them.

The service

What a session includes:

  • Cooking: 5–8 components — proteins, bases, vegetables, sauces — cooked in batches; 25–35 portions in total, sized for a household of three or four.
  • Hand-over: everything as components, not as finished dishes, with a one-page map of how they combine into dinners.
  • Storage: everything portioned, labelled with contents and date, and placed in your fridge and freezer.
  • Pantry: the oils, spices and seasonings a session uses in small amounts are mine and are included. Everything that goes into the food in quantity — grains, pasta, pulses, tinned goods, dairy, produce and protein — is on your grocery list, together with any premium or unusual ingredient.
  • Equipment: I bring my own knives, boards and small equipment. I cook on your hob and in your oven. Packing materials for portioning are included; if you would rather I use your own containers, tell me before the session.
  • Clean-up: the work area is cleaned to my standard at the end of the session.
  • Duration: three hours from the moment I arrive. Extra hours are agreed when the dish plan is approved, before you confirm.

How it works

  1. 01

    Onboarding, once

    Household size and children's ages; allergies, dietary restrictions and foods you do not want; a look at your kitchen and equipment — hob, oven, sockets and power, fridge and freezer space, containers; and your preferred weekly slot.

  2. 02

    Weekly cycle

    Ahead of each session I send you the menu plan; you approve it or swap one or two items. Once it is approved, I send the grocery list, grouped by store section. You arrange the groceries so that they are at your home the day before the session. The day before, I send the kitchen-ready checklist and ask you to confirm the groceries — a photo or a screenshot is enough.

  3. 03

    Session day

    I arrive at the agreed time, check the kitchen against the checklist, cook to the plan, portion, label and store, clean the work area and hand over with the combination map.

Prices and payment

Session, three hours

€150

One visit; everything listed under The service above.

Extra hour

€50

Agreed with you when the dish plan is approved, before you confirm.

Grocery-shopping service

€35

Optional. After you approve the list you pre-fund the estimated basket; I buy the groceries in your name, hand you the receipt at the session and we settle the difference. The groceries are yours and paid for by you — this price is the service only.

Travel fee outside the service area

from €30

It depends on the distance — just beyond the boundary there may be no fee at all. Agreed with you when the dish plan is approved, before you confirm.

All prices are in euros and include VAT (IVA).

You pay after the session, on the same day, by contactless card or phone, or by Bizum. I issue an invoice for every session — a simplified invoice by default, a full invoice with your details on request.

Conditions

The points below are a summary. The full conditions are the Terms of Service, which prevail.

  • Groceries are yours. You buy them from the list I send, or you use the grocery-shopping service above.
  • Kitchen-ready: clean counters, an empty dishwasher, space in the fridge and freezer, a working hob and oven, available sockets and parking nearby. The session time starts when I arrive; if the kitchen is not ready, I cook less in the same time.
  • Allergies and food safety: I plan around the allergies and restrictions you give me at onboarding; a home kitchen is not an allergen-free environment. After the hand-over, storage and reheating are yours.
  • Rescheduling, cancellation and withdrawal: you can reschedule or cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before a session. A booking is also a distance contract and carries the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal; since a session is normally cooked and paid for inside those 14 days, the booking confirmation asks you to agree that the service starts within that period. The Terms of Service set out both in full.
