This is incredible! I have just thought about doing the same thing with chefs. As in: you order a (not the Michelin-star kind) chef who'll come to your house and teach you how to cook some tasty meal, without worrying about buying ingredients, tools etc. We learn from plumbers and technicians, why not learn from chefs?

There was a few offerings around this idea in the past few years. Kithensurfing being another one of them. They've all burned out due to lack of demand.

Pretty much explains it.

Friend of a friend launched kitchit that did almost this. You should check them out and figure out why they shut down.
