Batches of vegetarian meals

$60

Thebarton, South Australia

2nd Dec 2025

I have always struggled to cook for myself. I tried meal kits which worked for a while, but eventually I fell off with them. I just don't have time or energy for everything that cooking entails - from making the decision about WHAT to make, to obtaining the ingredients, to using the ingredients before they go off, to making it. I'm wondering how much it would cost to hire someone to cook some batches of vegetarian meals that I can freeze. And then probably do it again in time on an ad hoc basis. I don't expect anything fancy, just lentils, soups, pastas etc. Food is fuel to me - I tend to eat to live rather than live to eat.

Home Cook/Meal Prep Help - 3 x per week - Glenelg Area

$30

Glenelg SA, Australia

27th Oct 2025

We’re a family of three — myself, my husband, and our 2-year-old — looking for someone to help prepare fresh meals for our busy household. The role involves cooking a mix of repeat family meals and snacks (which I’ll help train you on) as well as some fun, new recipes. We’re a mixed household — my husband is from Ireland and I’m from Asia — so we enjoy a variety of Asian and Western dishes. This would suit someone close to Glenelg, as the hours are light: around 2 to 2.5 hours in the mornings, 3–4 times a week. We’d also appreciate someone who’s happy to tidy up after cooking. If you love cooking and think this sounds like a good fit, please reach out — we’d love to chat!

Custom cake order

Burnside, South Australia

Hi, I’m looking to order a custom cake for my daughter’s 1st birthday on the 9th of November. The theme is petals and butterflies with red and pink pastel shades. The cake will be for around 50 people – I’d like the bottom and middle tiers to be real cake, with the top tier as a fake tier. I’m also considering fresh flowers or synthetic flowers for decoration and would love your advice on what would work best. In terms of delivery, do you usually bring the cake as a single piece or would you need to come and set it up at the venue?
