VidakindPrivate Lifestyle & Companionship

At home

Home cooked meals, made with love.

A kitchen that smells of something delicious makes a house feel like home. We cook the meals you love, exactly how you like them, and we are very happy to be taught your family recipes.

A bright kitchen with fresh ingredients on the bench

Cooking for one can lose its joy. Cooking together brings it back. We can prepare a lovely lunch to share, bake a batch of your favourite biscuits, or fill the fridge with home cooked meals for the week ahead.

Your tastes, routines and any dietary preferences are recorded in your Little Things Book, so every meal feels like yours.

What a visit can include

  • Cooking lunch or dinner together, or prepared for you
  • Baking cakes, scones, biscuits and treats
  • Meal planning and writing the shopping list
  • Batch cooking and labelling meals for the freezer
  • Setting a lovely table and sharing the meal
  • Organising the pantry and fridge
  • Washing up and leaving the kitchen sparkling
  • Recording favourite recipes in your Little Things Book

Good to know: We follow the dietary preferences and instructions you or your health professionals provide. We do not provide clinical nutrition or dietary advice.
