Meal preparation

Redfern NSW, Australia
19th Feb 2026
I’m looking for a reliable Airtasker to handle weekly meal prep on an ongoing basis. Scope each week: Prepare 10 meals total - 2 recipes × 5 serves each Recipes are fully specified by me: -exact ingredients - measurements - cooking instructions - target macros (calories, protein, fibre) Tasks include: - grocery shopping (costs of ingredients re-imbursed weekly with receipts to be provided) - cooking (in your own home / space) - portioning into containers - delivery to my address Requirements: - Comfortable following detailed instructions - Able to weigh/measure ingredients and portions accurately - Clean, organised food handling - Preference for someone interested in a regular weekly arrangement Important Notes: - This task is recipe execution, not menu design or creative cooking. - This role suits someone who enjoys structured, repeatable work and clear instructions. - If you are looking for flexibility in ingredients, creative freedom, or one-off jobs, this is not a good fit. Logistics: - Containers can be provided by me (or included — happy to discuss) - Day of week flexible - Ongoing long term work for the right person Payment: Happy to pay fairly for reliability and consistency. Please quote your weekly rate excluding ingredients. Trial Week: This will begin with a one-week paid trial (10 meals total, same scope as above). If the trial goes well for both sides, the intention is to continue as a regular weekly arrangement. If not, the trial week will still be paid in full and no further obligation assumed. When responding, please include: - Brief experience with meal prep or batch cooking - Availability for ongoing weekly work - Any relevant food safety experience (not mandatory, but a plus) Please only respond if you are genuinely available for ongoing weekly work after the trial.
Cook 3 vegan meals
$200
Bondi Junction NSW, Australia
19th Feb 2026
We need to provide 3 different simple vegan meals for the 10 students participating in our course over the weekend. In the past we’ve made dahls and curries. Simple, delicious and nourishing. My mentor will order all of the ingredients. Just need someone to come by and cook. Need the meals to be ready by 1pm. Usually I do the cooking but I’m feeling sick.
Isha was great! Super helpful and communicative. Food she cooked was absolutely delicious.

Weekly Private Cook / Meal Prep – Lower North Shore
$500
Cammeray NSW, Australia
15th Feb 2026
Hi there, My partner and I are looking for someone to help us with weekly meal prep in our home on the Lower North Shore. We eat pretty clean and are wanting good quality ingredients (non-toxic). So we’re hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys health-focused cooking and understands quality produce. At this stage we’re thinking once per week, with the possibility of increasing to twice per week if it’s a great fit. We’re after: • High-protein meals • Grass-fed meat where possible • Organic ingredients where it makes sense • Minimal processed foods • Simple, whole-food meals designed around performance and general health Cooking standards are important to us. We prefer using cast iron or stainless steel cookware, wooden chopping boards, and wooden or stainless utensils. We avoid non-stick/Teflon. If this is already how you cook, great. If you’re happy to work this way, that’s perfectly fine too. The role would involve: • Collaborating with us on meal ideas • Grocery shopping • Cooking in our kitchen • Portioning meals • Cleaning up afterwards If you have experience as a private cook, personal chef, or have worked with health-focused or performance-oriented clients, that would be a bonus. An interest in nutrition is also great, but not essential. If this sounds like you, please send through: • A bit about your background • Examples of meals you’d prepare • Your availability • Your hourly rate We’re ideally looking for someone long-term if we find the right fit. Thanks so much.
