As discussed in message Hey Nina, I loved the look of your profile. I'm looking for somebody to help with weekly meal prep. Healthy, nutritious meals! We've just had our second child so time is very pressed in and around our house. I'd love four meals; (12 serves so three-four serves each meal). They can be simple! I live in Thornbury so not sure how delivery works; but my office is in Footscray so could pick up or drop at the office. Let me know what works!

22nd Aug 2026

Looking for a reliable private chef to come to our home in Melbourne CBD each Monday to prepare lunches and dinners for two people, Monday to Friday. We’d like someone who can manage the full process — meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking in our home, portioning and storing meals in the fridge for the week. We prefer fresh, high-quality and organic produce wherever possible, with a focus on Italian and Mediterranean-style meals. Dietary requirements: * One person: low FODMAP, lactose-free, no eggs, no onion, no garlic, no red meat, and gluten-free pasta * Second person: no onion We’re looking for fresh, healthy, enjoyable meals with good variety rather than standard “meal prep” style food. Please send through your experience, availability for Mondays, how your service works, and your pricing.

Home cook for Sri Lankan / Indian meal prep – Berwick

$100

Berwick VIC 3806, Australia

19th Aug 2026

My wife and I both work full time and we’re finding it really hard to get proper meals on the table during the week. We’re looking for someone to come to our home in Berwick and batch cook healthy Sri Lankan or South Indian style meals for us. What’s involved: • Cooking at our home (fully equipped kitchen — pots, pans, rice cooker, blender all supplied) • We provide all ingredients. Send us your shopping list, or suggest what we should pick up and what you’d like to cook that day • Around 4-5 dishes per session, portioned into containers for the fridge/freezer • Kitchen and cookware left clean • Approx. 3 hours per session Bonus if you can help with our toddler: We have a nearly 2-year-old daughter, so it would be a big plus if you can suggest and cook simple healthy meals for her as well — mild, no added salt, easy to freeze in small portions. Happy to buy whatever ingredients you recommend for her. What we’re after: • Someone confident with traditional Sri Lankan or Indian home cooking — rice and curry, dhal, sambol, veg dishes, chicken/fish curries • Healthy home-style cooking, not heavy restaurant-style oil • Reliable and comfortable working in a family home This is a paid trial for one session. If it works well for both sides, we’d love to make it regular — twice a week, ongoing. In your offer, please tell us your cooking experience, a sample menu you’d cook, and your availability (weekday evenings or weekends suit us best).

I can provide guidance and suitable ingredients. Familiarity with the Monash Low FODMAP app would be a bonus. The cooking itself is straightforward: chicken/meat, vegetables, salads, soups, stir-fries and other simple meals. Nothing elaborate or spicy. I’m looking for someone who: * Lives reasonably close to Elsternwick * Is a confident and capable home cook * Is clean, organised and careful with food preparation * Is comfortable following dietary restrictions * Can suggest simple meal ideas within the guidelines * Would ideally like regular ongoing work if we’re a good fit Hours/rate: Flexible and negotiable depending on experience.

In-home meal prep chef

Port Melbourne VIC 3207, Australia

2nd Aug 2026

Looking for an Ongoing Meal Prep Chef (Weekly) We’re looking for an experienced home cook or meal prep chef to come to our home once a week and prepare healthy meals for the week ahead. This will ideally become an ongoing weekly arrangement if we’re a good fit. What we’re after: * Cook meals in our home once per week. * Shop for all ingredients beforehand (we’ll provide a separate grocery budget). * Prepare high-protein, calorie-conscious meals. * Focus on fresh, whole-food ingredients. * Portion meals into containers ready for the fridge/freezer. * Clean the kitchen after cooking. The meals: We’re still working out exactly how many meals we’d like each week (likely 16-20), so we’d love someone who is flexible and can help us design the right plan. Generally we’re looking for meals that are: * High protein * Lower calorie * Healthy and balanced * Great tasting (not boring meal prep!) * Easy to reheat Examples include grilled chicken, lean beef, fish, rice, potatoes, roasted vegetables, salads, curries, stir-fries, burrito bowls, etc. About us We’re active and train regularly, so nutrition is important to us. We’re looking for someone who enjoys cooking healthy food and can bring ideas rather than simply following recipes. When applying, please include: * Your experience * A few example meals you would prepare * Your availability * Your price for a weekly cook Looking forward to finding someone for a long-term arrangement. Our assumed budget for this is $45-70/hour (depending on experience) and 3-4 hours per session.

Deb is great. Really friendly, and awesome food. Highly recommend.

House Cleaning *Clean the main bathroom. * clean the kitchen area (stovetop, counters, sink, wiping down appliance exteriors). * Vacuum and mop floors ( living areas, bathroom, bedrooms). 3. Family & Household Support (Taking Initiative) * Tidy up toys, kid mess, and general clutter around the living areas. * Fold dry laundry from the line/airer, put away clothes, or pop on a load of washing. * General tidying and organising to help keep our household running smoothly. **Bonus / Casual Extra Hours (Optional)** Big plus if you have a current Working With Children Check (WWCC) and babysitting experience! We would love to find someone who could also offer ad-hoc/casual help, such as: * Occasional evening or weekend babysitting. * Collecting our son from kindergarten on the odd day Ideal Candidate: *Proactive & Independent:Sees what needs doing (e.g., dry laundry, toy clutter) and takes the initiative to get it done.

Weekly Meal Prep Cook Needed — 10–15 Large Meals Delivered

$250

Greensborough VIC 3088, Australia

30th May 2026

Looking for someone in Melbourne/Victoria to cook and deliver weekly bulk meals on Saturday or Sunday. I work long construction hours and need proper filling meals, not small diet meals or packaged gym-style meals. Looking for 10–15 large serves per week. High protein, decent carbs, vegetables, moderate salt. Meals like chicken and rice, beef and potatoes, pasta bakes, curries, chilli con carne, burrito bowls, stir-fries, slow-cooked beef, lamb, etc. Ideally meals would be around 700–900 calories each with 40g+ protein, but I don’t need perfect macro tracking. I mainly need big, fresh, healthy meals that are already put together and ready to reheat. Ongoing weekly work if the food is good. Please include examples/photos of meals you’ve cooked and your weekly price for 10–15 meals delivered.

Awesome service, beautiful fresh meals delivered, way better than going to other pre-packaged food companies and healthier!
