I am planning a vacation to the Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo) for June and have decided to rent an apartment for 10 days rather than stay at a hotel. I would like to hire a cook to swing by the apartment about 5 days out of the ten and prepare an authentic Dominican dinner for me. My question is, how much should I pay a cook for this service? I don't need anything super fancy but it must be delicious. A couple of those nights I intend to have guest over and the meals need to be slightly larger (about 4 - 6 people).
Would I pay for the week or by the meal?
Should I purchase the food and give the cook recipes I want or let them be creative?
Should I ask the cook to buy the food products, save the receipt, and I reimburse them?
Does anyone know where to find a domestic cook that would be willing to make extra income for a week?
Does this sound complicated and I would be better off eating out the whole time?
I appreciate your replies.
