Book a cook: Culinary homedulgence

Oxford, United Kingdom – With top restaurants still expecting us to pay over the odds for a meal despite the recession, it seems fitting that cooks are now offering their services to people at home. Book a Cook is a new venture offering customers the chance to hire a cook to come to their home for an evening of culinary delights – but this is for homedulgence, rather than catering for a special occasion with guests.

As the number of out-of-work professionals increases, more people are going freelance and offering their services as lone businesses. Other examples include Dave Hampton, who has channelled his expertise into becoming a Carbon Coach and can come to your home or business to offer consultations on reducing your carbon emissions.
