Cook Services

Domestic cooks must enjoy cooking and know the basics of cooking and preparing meals. They should be well trained. All, however, must be well-versed in basic cooking techniques and be able to prepare meals that meet their clients' needs. In addition, they must also know fundamental kitchen hygiene and be able to maintain a well-ordered and clean facility. Some domestic cooks may be required to supervise a staff of assistants. Management skills are essential in these situations.

In general, domestic cooks are expected to: prepare meals according to their client's requirements; maintain a neat, organized and well-stocked kitchen and pantry; shop and prepare menus; organize dinner parties and other events; and supervise other kitchen staff, if necessary.
