Cuisine, trial meal and kitchen expectations
A cook placement stands or falls on taste, so we recommend a trial meal before anything is finalised. The household names two or three dishes it eats regularly, the candidate cooks them in your kitchen, and the decision becomes obvious. This one step prevents most cook placements from being reversed in the first week.
Requirements vary widely: some families want daily roti, salan and rice on a fixed schedule; others need continental dishes, low-salt or diabetic-friendly cooking, or the ability to produce a full dawat menu for twenty guests at short notice. These are different skill sets and we shortlist against the one you actually need.
Kitchen hygiene and grocery handling should be settled early. Whether the cook writes the grocery list, who buys the items, how leftovers are treated and who cleans the kitchen after cooking are the points that quietly cause friction if left unspoken.
Local note for Islamabad & Rawalpindi
Demand rises sharply around Ramadan and the wedding season in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, when households want sehri and iftar timings covered or event cooking for guests. Requests placed a few weeks ahead of those periods are much easier to fill.
Checklist
Decide before the trial meal
- A list of dishes your household eats weekly
- Any dietary restrictions, allergies or low-salt needs
- Number of people cooked for at each meal
- Who prepares the grocery list and who buys
- Whether kitchen cleanup is part of the cook's duties
