Personalised In-Home Meal Prep
Meet Joanna
I’m Jo, the person behind Taste With Jo. I’ve spent years cooking professionally for families and children, including more than three years as the sole cook in a nursery, where I prepared meals for around 60–70 children every day. That experience taught me something important: good food doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. Families have different tastes, routines and needs, and the food prepared for them should reflect that.
That’s the idea behind my in-home meal prep service. I come to your home and prepare real, homemade food around the people I’m cooking for, not around a standard menu.
Home-cooked meals – Meal Prep Bern, made for your household, in your own kitchen.
Every household eats differently. Maybe your children have their own favourites, someone is selective with food, or you simply want proper homemade meals without spending so much of your week planning, shopping and cooking. I create meals around the way your household actually eats, then come to your home and prepare them fresh in your own kitchen.
I come to your home and prepare a selection of meals for you and your family, using your own kitchen. Everything is cooked fresh during the visit, then portioned and left ready in your fridge or freezer for the days ahead.
This isn’t a meal delivery service and the food isn’t prepared somewhere else and brought to your door. I cook in your home, for your household, which means the meals can be planned around what you actually like to eat, how many portions you need and what works for your family.
Meal Prep Bern, Made for Your household.
No two households eat exactly the same way. One child might love pasta but refuse anything with sauce. Someone else might prefer high-protein meals, avoid certain ingredients or simply have a list of foods they would rather not see on their plate. And sometimes everyone likes completely different things.
That’s why I don’t work from one fixed menu. Before I plan your meals, I take the time to understand what your household actually eats, including favourite dishes, foods you avoid, portion needs, allergies or intolerances and any individual preferences. I then use that information to create a meal plan that makes sense for your home.
The aim isn’t to change the way your family eats. It’s to make having homemade food ready for the week easier.
Always selective, never restrictive.
Who is this service for?
You don’t need a special reason to make life around food a little easier. In-home meal prep can work for many different households, whether you need help every week or simply during particularly busy periods.
Busy families
Homemade meals ready for the days when there simply isn’t enough time to cook from scratch.
Families with selective eaters
Meals planned around the foods, flavours and textures your family actually accepts and enjoys.
Busy professionals
Lunches and dinners prepared ahead, so good food is already there when the working day is over.
New parents
Homemade meals ready in the fridge or freezer during a time when cooking can easily become another job on the list.
Older adults
Familiar, home-cooked meals prepared in your own kitchen and adapted to your preferences and routine.
Individual dietary needs
If you have dietary guidance from a doctor or dietitian, I can prepare your meals according to the instructions they have provided.
How does it work?
Because every household is different, I don’t ask you to choose from a set package or menu. We start with what you actually need, and I build the service around that.
Send me an enquiry
Get in touch and tell me where you’re located and that you’re interested in the meal prep service. I’ll then send you my short household questionnaire.
Tell me about your household
The questionnaire helps me understand what you’d like prepared, how many people I’m cooking for, your favourite foods, dislikes, allergies or intolerances, dietary preferences and anything else that matters when planning your meals.
I create your proposal
Using your answers, I’ll put together a personalised menu and calculate the price for your meal prep service.
We agree on the details
You’ll have a chance to look through the proposed menu and make any necessary changes. Once you’re happy with the menu, you’ll receive your final price.
Confirm your booking
Before payment, you’ll be able to read the Meal Prep Service Terms & Conditions. Once everything is agreed and payment has been made, your booking is confirmed.
I come to your home and cook
On the agreed day, I prepare your meals in your kitchen, portion them into your containers and leave them ready for your fridge or freezer. I also clean the kitchen areas and equipment I’ve used before I leave.
What’s included?
Your meal prep service covers more than the time I spend cooking in your kitchen. I plan everything around the menu we’ve agreed on beforehand, so when I arrive, I know exactly what I’m preparing and how you would like your meals organised.
Something else in mind?
Meal prep doesn’t have to mean only lunches and dinners. If there’s something else you’d like me to prepare, just ask. This could be a homemade cake or dessert, something for the freezer, or even seasonal preserves, jams and sauces.
Every session is personalised, so if it can be prepared in your kitchen and fits within the planned session, we can include it in your menu.
- Personalised menu planning based on your household
- A grocery list for the agreed menu
- Preparation and cooking in your own kitchen
- Portioning meals into your containers
- Basic labelling for fridge or freezer storage
- Cleaning the work areas and kitchen equipment I use during the session
Groceries & Shopping
You can choose whichever option works better for you. I can provide a grocery list for the agreed menu so you can have everything ready before I arrive, or I can take care of the shopping for you.
If I do the shopping, the groceries are purchased fresh for your meal prep session and brought directly to your home. The cost of the groceries is separate from the meal prep service, and you will always receive the receipts.
If you would like me to shop for you
A standard grocery shop at one supermarket is CHF 35. If your menu requires several shops or specialist ingredients, I’ll let you know the shopping cost in advance. The estimated grocery budget is paid before I shop, and any difference between the estimate and the actual cost will be settled using the receipts.
Personalised Pricing
Every meal prep session is different, so I don’t use fixed packages or charge you based on a set number of meals. My meal prep service starts from CHF 65 per hour. Your final price depends on what you would like me to prepare, the number of portions you need and the amount of preparation involved.
Once I’ve received your questionnaire, I’ll create your proposed menu and calculate the price for your individual meal prep service. You’ll see the full price before you decide to book, so you know exactly what you’re paying before anything is confirmed.
No booking or payment is required to receive your personalised proposal.
