Hi there! I’m looking for a private chef or experienced home cook to prepare 8 healthy, delicious, and filling meals per week — ideal for someone who enjoys cooking with real, fresh ingredients. What I’m after: 2 different meals (4 portions of each — batch cooking welcome!) Meals should be individually portioned, suitable for lunch and dinner Each meal must include a good source of protein Meals must be: ✅ Healthy ✅ Air fryer friendly (reheat-friendly, not overly saucy) ✅ Made with real, whole ingredients ✅ Dietary: no pork ✅ Organic preferred, where possible I'm happy to pick up the meals from your location if you're within a 20-minute radius, or you’re welcome to deliver them to me directly — whichever works best for you. Let me know: What kind of meals you enjoy making or could offer?

I’m looking for someone to make my 21st birthday cake, wanting a simple round design, however I can’t seem to find somewhere that can do the Colour I want. I’m wanting a sage green/army green/Kaci Matt colour, with black writing. Have photos for examples. For about 60 guests. So nothing too big!

Task price is for initial consultation to plan out meals. Any further work to be paid at same hourly rate (negotiable). I am seeking a careful, health-focused meal prep cook for twice-weekly batches (for perishable food). Work can be done at my home in Abbotsford, or off-site if you have a strictly coeliac-safe kitchen and can deliver ready-to-eat meals. About the diet: I have multiple dietary sensitivities. Requirements include coeliac safe and zero gluten, no added sugar, no added salt, mostly vegan with occasional paleo-style protein options, simple whole foods, minimal additives. I also have ARFID: Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. This means strong sensory sensitivities and a very specific profile of safe foods and textures. I need predictable recipes, consistent textures, and no surprise ingredients (including seasonings). What you will do: • Plan a small rotating menu that fits the rules, confirm ingredients by text before cooking. • Shop, or cook with groceries I provide. Read every label for gluten, sugar, and additive risks. • Batch cook mains, sides, and snacks, portion into labelled containers with ingredients and date. • Deliver to Abbotsford if cooking off-site, put items away neatly, leave the kitchen tidy if on-site. • Keep a simple log of what was cooked, portions, and reheating notes. Good fit: • Meticulous about cross-contamination and food safety, ideally with Food Handlers certificate. • Experienced with coeliac cooking and special diets, comfortable following strict rules. • Calm, organised, good communicator by text, able to repeat successful recipes for consistency. • Happy to adjust texture, seasoning, and prep method to meet sensory needs. Examples of foods I like: • Smoothies • Salad wraps • Buddha bowls • Vegetable soups • Mixed greens (bok choy etc) with seasoning

Need to get a bottle, helium balloons (gold with 3 and 0) and a cake. I’ll pay separately for all 3 things
