Welcome to Nomad Cooks! We're on a mission to change the private chef industry for the better: no more relying on agencies, paying commission and lengthy menu debates with clients.

Once you set up a profile with Nomad Cooks you can create your menu which you price yourself. Customers can find your online profile and book you based on your availability. We're making the admin involved with being a private chef as easy as possible so you can focus on the cooking.

We believe having a private chef cook for you at home will be more and more normal. Once it seemed weird to get a taxi ride in someone else's car or stay in someone's house for a week; imagine if booking a private chef was just like renting an Airbnb?

Your profile - more than just a chef CV

This is your shopfront to the world, a page you can be proud to show your menu, reviews and photos. Your Nomad Cooks profile gives customers the best possible overview of who you are and why you are the perfect chef for them.

You can create a menu of five dishes for canapés, starters, mains and puddings. Each option is priced independently. You can also add pictures of your dishes as well as a bio to let customers get to know you.

Manage availability from your profile - this so important for the system to work.

Pay - 0% commission

Customers can book you through your profile. You'll be emailed the request with the menu choice and event details. If you accept, you'll be put in contact with the client.

We make money by charging the client a fee for this introduction to you. The customer pays you directly for the price of your menu plus travel.

Community - chefs helping chefs

As a freelancer, you can often feel isolated. Nomad Cooks is an exclusive community of talented chefs in the UK. We have online spaces to support each other, share tips and chat about opportunities. Covid permitting, we plan to organise meetups at pubs too.

Added extras - insurance and discounts

Every job that you take on through Nomad Cooks you are insured for up to £5 million for product and public liability insurance (Insurance summary). Also, once you're part of the community, you have access to a range of culinary discount and freebies (Discounts).

Opportunities - supper clubs and volunteering
