What do cooking services include?
Home cooking
Want fresh meals in your home? Your home chef can either offer regular home cooking services where they cook multiple nights per week, or provide a one-off meal if you just need occasional help. Your private chef will ask if you have any food preferences or intolerances, how many people they need to cook for, and what appliances and equipment they can use. They’ll usually plan the meals ahead of time, purchase the ingredients, and freshly cook the meals in your kitchen, and then clean up before they go.
Baking
Want to impress your best friend with an amazing cake for her birthday party? Or perhaps it’s your turn to bring some baking to work for morning tea? Hire a pastry chef or professional baker to create a cake, biscuits, muffins, or something else tasty. They’ll ask you how many people you’re baking for, any flavour preferences, and any special decorations you’d like. Your baker will bake at their place and deliver the finished product to your home or office once it’s ready.
Dinner party chef
If you’re planning a dinner party with friends, why not hire a dinner party chef to help take all the stress out of hosting? Your professional cook will contact you to confirm the number of guests, what courses/canapes you’d like, and whether the event is formal or informal. They’ll usually prepare most of the food where the event is being held (whether at your home or at a venue) and clean up the kitchen after they’re done.
Specialty cooking
Cooking paleo, vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free can be a challenge, whether it’s for yourself, a family member, or for an event you’re catering. Fortunately, many cooks are experienced with a range of different food requirements, including food intolerances, special diets, and allergies. When you hire a cook, they’ll choose recipes and ingredients that are suitable, confirming any dietary requirements before they get started. They’ll be careful to avoid cross-contamination if they’re preparing alternative meals for certain members of your family or party.
Meal preparation & planning
If you struggle to come up with meal ideas and always find yourself short of time throughout the week, why not hire a cook to prep your meals for the week? Your personal cook will confirm how many meals you’d like, the number of people, and if you have any preferences. They’ll choose meals that keep well and are easy to store, and taste great fresh or reheated. They’ll either prepare the food in your kitchen (cleaning up afterwards) or drop your freshly prepared meals off when they’re done, packaged and ready for the fridge or freezer.

I'm wanting to try and save some hours in the week by paying someone to meal prep for me. I'm ideally looking for 200grams of protein and around 2500 calories. Happy to eat the same meal multiple times a day or in a giant meal if it means i'm getting all of my nutrients optimally.

Personal Chef / Meal Prep – Twice Weekly
$35
Burleigh Heads QLD 4220, Australia
13th Sep 2025
( rate added is hourly) I am looking for someone reliable and experienced in cooking and meal preparation to come to my apartment twice per week and prepare meals for the week ahead. The role involves cooking four meals per day, with the same meals repeated throughout the week. I will provide the exact meal plan and ingredients, so there is no need to create recipes or decide on menus. The focus is simply on preparing and cooking the meals to a high standard and ensuring everything is properly stored for the week. Duties include: • Cooking and preparing four meals per day (set menu provided) • Organising and storing meals in containers for the week • Ensuring the kitchen is left clean and tidy after each session What makes this opportunity appealing is the consistency and simplicity. The menu is straightforward, so there is no guesswork. It is also a recurring arrangement, meaning ongoing work for the right person. The days you come can be flexible as long as it is twice per week. This role would suit someone who enjoys cooking and is confident in preparing larger batches of food. Attention to detail, cleanliness, and reliability are very important. If you are passionate about cooking and like the idea of helping someone stay organised and on track with meals, this could be a great ongoing role for you.
