What I do

Here to help with

A warm, home-cooked meal without you standing at the stove. I keep it simple, tasty and made with care.

Good to know: I always ask about allergies and food preferences before I start, and who buys the ingredients is something we agree on together up front.

FAQ

Good to know

Where do you cook?

In your own kitchen, at your home off base in Stuttgart and the surrounding area. Christa lives downtown and cannot enter US bases without a sponsor, so base housing is not available.

Who buys the groceries?

We decide that together, up front, before the day. Christa does not run grocery errands as a separate service.

Do you ask about allergies?

Yes. Christa will ask about allergies and food preferences before cooking anything.

Can you cook for the whole week?

Preparing several meals in one visit is something you can ask about. Tell Christa what you have in mind and you can plan it together.

Can you cook for my teenagers while we are out?

Yes, that is a good fit. Tell Christa what they like and when you will be back, and she will make them a proper home-cooked meal.

Can you help with a dinner party?

Yes. If you are hosting and need help in the kitchen, ask. This is home cooking in your own kitchen, not a catering or restaurant service, and you can share your own recipes too.

How much does it cost?

A weekly meal-prep session of about 3 hours is €120, and dinner-party help is €40 per hour. Ingredients are decided together up front. Travel is €5 per 15 minutes of travel time, and new clients pay a 33% deposit.
