Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

SnackED connects you with verified local chefs, home cooks, halwais and maharajs who come to your home and prepare snacks in your kitchen, using ingredients you provide. You get homemade snacks without spending your weekend cooking, and you know exactly what's in them.

You do, and that's the point. Before your session, we share an exact, itemised ingredient list scaled to your snacks and quantity. You buy the brands, oils and ghee you trust, so you control the quality of everything that goes in.

Yes, an adult member of the household should be home throughout. Many families enjoy watching, asking questions and tasting along the way.

Usually a gas stove, a kadhai, a tawa, a rolling pin and basic utensils. Baked snacks need an OTG or oven. Each snack card lists what's needed, and we confirm the full list before your visit. Some chefs bring speciality tools such as a chakli press.

Every chef goes through an application, government ID and address checks, local references, a trial cook with our team and a hygiene briefing before their first booking. After every session, families rate their chef, and we follow up on every concern.

Read more about our chefs and how we verify them.

Chefs wash their hands before starting, wear a clean apron and cap, keep their nails short and their hair covered, and leave your kitchen clean and tidy. If anything doesn't feel right, tell us on WhatsApp, and we'll act on it.

Yes. If you loved your chef, let us know, and we'll try to send them again, subject to their availability.

Pricing depends on the snacks, quantity and session length. We share a clear quote on WhatsApp before anything is confirmed. Since you buy the ingredients yourself, you only pay for the chef's time and service. No payment is taken on this website.

Not yet. The form sends us an enquiry. We then check which verified chefs are available for your locality and preferred slot, and only confirm the chef, date and time once that's sorted. We'll never promise a slot we haven't checked.

A few days' notice works best, so you have time to buy ingredients. Around festivals like Diwali and Holi, book earlier, as chefs fill up fast.

Message us on WhatsApp as early as possible, and we'll help you move your session. We'll share our cancellation policy with your quote so there are no surprises.

No. Your snacks are made fresh from the ingredients you provide, with no preservatives or artificial colours. What goes in is entirely in your hands.

Most of our snacks keep for about 2–4 weeks in clean, airtight jars in a cool, dry place. Each snack lists an approximate shelf life, and your chef will share storage tips. Always let snacks cool completely before storing.

Yes. Whether it's Jain, no onion-garlic, less salt, jaggery instead of sugar, baked instead of fried or millet-based, just tell us when you enquire. Please mention any allergies clearly.

Please ask! Our catalogue grows based on what families request. If one of our chefs can make it well, we'll happily include it.

It depends on your household and how quickly you snack. Many families start with a small trial batch, then move to a monthly stock-up. Tell us your household size, and we'll suggest quantities.
