An everyday home cook who handles daily or weekly family cooking in your kitchen — a lighter, more affordable alternative to a full private chef.

It's a lower-cost, informal alternative to a private chef, popular with families, working couples, new parents, and elderly or recovering household members who want reliable, healthy home meals without the daily grind of cooking.
