Caulfield South VIC 3162, Australia

Hi, We’re a busy family and we’d love to see if there was a chef or food lover who could help us meal prep for the week each week! We’d like healthy meals, gluten free, fresh, full of veg and under 500 cals per serve. I’d love someone to lead the way for a few weeks and then show me how to do this ongoing. I can ensure all ingredients are ready to go / the lot and then you could work your magic! We have two ovens, thermomix, all the things so hopefully it would be easier to manage

Twice Weekly Meal Prep for Coeliac/Food Sensitivities

$50

Kew VIC 3101, Australia

14th Oct 2025

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
