Cook in Gurgaon (Gurugram)

Cooks usually take a weekly off or an agreed number of leaves per month, with festival days discussed in advance. Since meals are time-sensitive, many households agree that the cook informs them ahead of any planned leave. It is worth deciding early how you will manage meals on the cook's off days.

A home cook prepares breakfast, lunch and/or dinner as agreed, veg or non-veg according to your household's preference. The role includes kitchen prep such as chopping, kneading and marination, and cleaning up the kitchen after cooking. Tiffin or dabba preparation can be included if you agree it in advance.

House cleaning beyond the kitchen is not included; a maid is hired for that. Grocery shopping is excluded unless you explicitly agree it, and catering for large events is outside the scope. Childcare and elder-care duties are also not part of a cook's role.
