About Kochdaheim
Freshly cooked. For everyday life and special occasions.
Our story
Kochdaheim grew out of a simple observation: good, freshly cooked food should be a natural part of everyday life, not an additional burden.
Many households want to eat more consciously and better, but struggle with time, energy, or daily organisation. Planning, grocery shopping, and cooking often no longer fit into a busy routine.
At the same time, there are many talented chefs who love cooking for people but don’t find a reliable and fair framework in traditional structures.
Kochdaheim brings these two sides together. We create a clear, personal setup in which households are cooked for regularly or on special occasions, and chefs can work in a predictable, self-determined, and fair way.
This creates a model that makes everyday life easier and enables meaningful collaboration.
What makes Kochdaheim different
Kochdaheim is neither a delivery service nor a traditional catering company.
It’s not about one-off orders, but about a reliable collaboration that fits into your everyday life.
You don’t receive an anonymous offer. You work with people who understand you and your situation. Whether it’s regular cooking or a special occasion, everything is personally aligned with your taste, your rhythm, and your preferences.
Kochdaheim connects you with the right chefs and quietly takes care of structure and coordination in the background, so everything runs clearly, predictably, and smoothly.
This creates a model that clears your head and turns food back into something that supports you instead of adding stress.
How we work with chefs
Kochdaheim works with self-employed chefs. They bring their experience, their cuisine, and their own style, and shape their work independently.
Menus, pricing, and ways of working are defined by the chefs themselves, within clearly set guidelines. There are no fixed recipes or rigid cooking plans, but individually coordinated agreements tailored to each household and occasion.
Kochdaheim handles coordination in the background. This includes the initial request, alignment before the start, and a reliable structure throughout the collaboration. This creates planning security without limiting the chefs’ independence.
For households, this means consistent quality and personal support.
For chefs, it means fair conditions and reliability.
It’s a partnership on equal footing.
A personal note
I’m Serbay. I come from a Turkish family with a background in gastronomy and have been living in Berlin for many years. After more than ten years in the tech industry, I wanted to build something closer to real life and more connected to people.
Through many conversations with families and chefs, I realised how big the gap in everyday life really is. Good food matters, but often there’s not enough time or energy to make it happen every day. At the same time, there are wonderful chefs working with great passion who need stability, appreciation, and reliability.
Kochdaheim grew out of exactly these conversations. Step by step, personally, and with the aim of creating a framework where both sides feel supported and well taken care of.

Frequently asked questions
We know that inviting someone to cook in your own kitchen is a big step. Here are the most common questions families ask, from pricing to our chefs.
Getting started with Kochdaheim
What is Kochdaheim?
Kochdaheim is a marketplace that connects private households with experienced chefs. Instead of ordering food or cooking yourself, fresh meals are prepared either regularly through a weekly cooking plan or for special occasions as a Signature Event.
Kochdaheim coordinates the process and ensures clear, reliable workflows, while chefs work independently and cook directly for you.
How does Kochdaheim work?
You choose whether you’d like to request a weekly cooking plan or a Signature Event. After your request, we suggest suitable chefs and connect you with the right person. The menu, schedule, and any preferences are then discussed directly.
Kochdaheim coordinates the process and remains available as a point of contact, while the chefs work independently.
Who are the chefs?
All chefs on Kochdaheim are independent professionals with experience in private or professional kitchens. Each brings their own background, cooking style, and expertise, ranging from weekly cooking plans to Signature Events.
