Would you hire a personal chef to save time and eat more healthily?

[DermalPunch]

I'm thinking of getting someone in twice a week to batch cook a planned menu.

He'd do 😜

[JustinTheGreat]

If I was on my own and I had the money, I definitely would.
i hate cooking lol. I don’t have the patience for it and even when I try, it always comes out horrible. But I’m lucky to be married to someone who has a passion for cooking and cooks the most delicious food ever. I feel like I already have a personal chef 😅

[DermalPunch]

Cuuuute!

[Lionman95]

No, because it wouldn´t save money but maybe time. A personal chef would probably even more costly because I´d have to pay for the food+ the chef.
But because I like cooking I´d rather spend the time cooking.

[DermalPunch]

This isn't about saving money. It is a luxury. It is about saving time which is actually worth more than money!

[DarkCarousel]

Absolutely, if that were something I could afford. I don’t mind cooking but meal planning/making a menu is a pain, especially when you have a large family with a variety of tastes.

[DermalPunch]

Exxxxaaactly! Someone who gets it.

[TransAm85]

Yes I'd love to do that! I am not really a good cook and my husband and I are from 2 separate cultures. I eat too much fried/fast food.

[DermalPunch]

Yes, a lot of cultures have this fried food problem. People used to be so physical in times past so those heavy meals were necessary. We have to have food that works for us not the other way around now.

[Iron_Man]

It’s good to get out and get a lot of hard work in

[whereismyjohnny]

Nope. I like making my own food. As for a time, you can always meal prep.

[DermalPunch]

Yes, so do I. It's really satisfying to get unspired and creative in the kitchen. It just isn't the season of my life right now.

[whereismyjohnny]

If you can afford it and it would help you/make things easier, I'd say go for it. ☺️

[DermalPunch]

Thanks!

[midnightmoon05]

yes, I have. He is the best and cooks really yummy and healthy meals daily!!
and I love him and he is the best! 😘 @lightbulb27

[lightbulb27]

I send that.:) I'm glad my work appreciated.

[Yucy_Gluttony]

I would some top chef and have him cook for me while he says what he does and says why or how and I record everything. I'll learn to cook his specialties :3

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Although I can cook I would hire a personal chef to teach me so I can cook more things.

[Anonymous]

by the way this picture of the chef looks sooo sinister 🥴.
.
But Yes, Definitely! If I had the money right now I would definitely hire a personal chef.

[Aurora1010]

Nah, I like cooking and finding healthy recipes on my own.

[Chiarac2003]

Negative!…. I’d hire a driver… but I’m cooking. 🎀😂

[ChrisMaster69]

You are far better seeing a nutritionist / dietician and working out a diet that works for your specific requirements and exercise regime.

[DermalPunch]

I don't need a dietician or a nutritionis. I have a wealth of information about ealth and nutrition and using food as medicine. It's just having someone organizing it and implementing it for me.

[ChrisMaster69]

Exactly how will a chef (they ain’t cheap) cook healthy food for you.

They will use their own recipes.

If you know so much, then you know how easy it actually is to produce balanced healthy meals, it’s not exactly hard and definitely not having a personal chef level, my house keeper / cleaner sorts mine.

[DermalPunch]

Did it ever occur to you that we lead different lives and what isn't that hard for you presents a major challenge for me?

[ChrisMaster69]

Yes however, been down this route and it’s a waste of cash.

Batch cooking is basically bulk buying produce to turn into frozen meals

Even if it’s fresh fridge meals it’s not hard.

Go ahead waste your cash.

For the question, eat more healthy, not sure how that works.

You pay someone more cash to make u smaller meals….

[DermalPunch]

I was asking a question i don't know why you've extrapolated that I don't know about healthy eating. I do disagree about the batch cooking. When I had was able to do it it saved both time and mo ey and the meals were more balanced. Closer to what I know is nutrient-dense eating. Either way. Nice chat. Take care.

[ChrisMaster69]

Never said you did not know , I said try a Nutritionist/ Dietician, however you have that covered as you do know.
I currently batch food, as I have butcher drop stuff off and also veg shop delivers.

When I looked in to getting a chef in, it worked out twice as expensive as having local restaurant (s) prepare and deliver food - healthy stuff at that.

[4eyes2mouths]

I save myself the most time by not eating at all. Lol I eat like a 5 year old. I'd rather just meal prep than get a personal chef.

[DermalPunch]

Not eating at all isn't the approach im going for. Lol.

[Anonymous]

My cooking skills are better than most professional chefs, so no.

[DermalPunch]

Yes, I hear that. It's more about delegating.

[peedy]

#1) No they cost way to much money
#2) I would rather go to my mothers for dinner its free, better tasting and just as healthy

[RandomGuy1030]

No not after eating/trying what theyve made for someone I know. Only if they were very creative and made some really delicious stuff.

[ThisMexicanGirk]

If I had the money too, yes. But then again if I had money I wouldn’t work and have all day to cook healthy foods and exercise

[DizzyDesii]

I dont need a chef but I’d like a chauffer

[DermalPunch]

Having a driver is a very good luxury service investment. But a chauffeur has other duties too.

[exitseven]

No, it is like hiring a personal trainer. To me it is like hiring somebody to workout with me.

[Iron_Man]

That sounds great how did that work out for you how much are you paying twice a week

[DermalPunch]

That nevwr materialized. Too many other things took priority to even bother looking around to find someone.

[Iron_Man]

Oh ok thanks for letting me know Because I was thinking about that today of hiring somebody. Maybe a nice restaurant would be more cheaper you still have to pay for all the food plus their service Plus they’re gonna require all kinds of special equipment to make all the food from scratch and mix all the ingredients which I do have a good vita blender

[DermalPunch]

I it is for sure a luxury but it is a mundane task generally. Getting in out of the way can really help you if you need to get the most out of your time.

[Stevefiveo]

That's what my wife does.

[DermalPunch]

How is that going? I'd love to know more.

[Stevefiveo]

She's great at it.

[dustybiker]

If I had the means. Hell yes.

[Kkstarzz96]

If I could afford it yes absolutely

[EyeKnowMeNahYou]

That's a possibility, why not

[Babygirl_S]

Sounds like a good idea.

[BeMuse]

For an hour at restaurant... That's about it.

[jennifer_bloom]

Not even if I was a surgeon - they cost too much

[msc545]

Good odea!

[DermalPunch]

I really appreciate your support. I need to delegate something because I have a lot on my plate. I haven't been keeping up with my dietary standards because of so much going on. Also, where I am, human labour is wayyyy cheaper so it won't be a like paying someone in an occidental country.

[msc545]

Where are you?

[DermalPunch]

Morocco

[msc545]

Ah - I've been there. What City?

[courtney06]

Yes I would

[TheMajesticKing777]

No lol

[sheikalana]

Totally.

[LavLavLuv]

Nope

[JadeSkywlker04]

sounds like too much money.

[JesseJayNeak]

When I can afford it
