WHAT WE DO
⤵

HealthyHomes assists a family in delegating home chores, most specifically cooking and food preparation, to their domestic worker.

The idea is to train the domestic worker in basic meal preparations for all members of the family (parents, toddlers, babies) to allow for more free time in an otherwise busy daily schedule.

It is a ‘win-win’ situation - the domestic worker is upskilled in an area other than basic housework, the family has more time for themselves and their basic daily diets can be modified to allow for optimal healthy food intake.

Our Goals

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well”
​Virginia Woolfe

To train and delegate kitchen jobs to the domestic worker.

To free up time for the family members trying to juggle work, children and quality family time.

To encourage a healthy family diet by ensuring all members of the family are eating a well-balanced, nutrient-rich meal plan.

To start from the very beginning with children having the correct outlook on food and mealtimes, ensuring they understand the importance of eating right.

To provide simple, tasty menu ideas which centre around health, free from preservatives and unnecessary additives.

By choosing nutritious, well thought-out and planned meals, we take away the need to purchase unhealthy, quick and easy, convenience foods and allow families, without any extra effort on their part, to practice the art of Slowfood.

HealthyHomes is not a full-on cooking course,
instead it aims to train your domestic worker to do all the tedious kitchen jobs that make cooking and preparing a healthy meal challenging and time-consuming.

HealthyHomes should not take away housework time from the domestic worker.

It assists them in learning to multitask.

While potatoes are roasting or a batch of vegetables are being steamed, a load of washing can be hung out to dry.

HealthyHomes teaches simple meal preparations that don't take away too much time from the home chores environment.

Your domestic worker could learn to make homemade (freezable) burger patties, a jar of pesto or mayonnaise and a side salad.

All you need to do is defrost, grab a few rolls, assemble and enjoy.

Fill up your freezer with a supply of butternut, sweet potato and carrot puree or a batch of mashed “daily greens”, take out a few jars for the day and your baby’s meals are sorted.

Your fridge could be stocked with healthy snacks for your toddler to pop into their lunch boxes before the school rush begins.

Imagine going to bed on a Sunday night knowing that the
​weeks' meals​ have been prepared for the
whole family.

​These are meals that are tasty, nutritious and sourced from good quality produce.
