Weekly Meal Prep – 3 Bulk Recipes + Portioning | Oak Park Area

$150

Oak Park VIC 3046, Australia

6th Oct 2026

*REPOST - PREVIOUS POST EXPIRED + INTERSTATE TRAVELS DISRUPTION WITH TIMING OF TASK COMPLETION Looking for someone reliable and confident in the kitchen to help with my weekly meal prep on an ongoing basis for the task to be completed on a Sunday. I will provide all groceries, containers, equipment needed - it will just have to be completed in your kitchen I will provide all ingredients, containers, recipes, quantities and instructions — you won’t need to purchase anything. The prep is straightforward and consists of only 3 main recipes cooked in large batches. Each week: • Cook 3 recipes in bulk • Portion into 21 full meals (7 of each recipe) • Prepare 7 containers of dry oats + protein powder – weighing only, no cooking • Prepare 7 containers of dry cereal – weighing only, no cooking • Clean cookware, utensils and kitchen afterwards While there are 35 containers total, only 3 recipes actually require cooking. The entire task should take approximately 3 hours from start to finish, including cooking, portioning and cleaning. All recipes and exact quantities will be provided. As this is fitness/bodybuilding-style meal prep, accurate weighing and portioning is important. I’m based in Oak Park and would prefer the cooking to be done at your home. Ideally you’re located in Oak Park or a nearby suburb so collecting/dropping off ingredients and finished meals is convenient. You don’t need to be a professional chef — I’m mainly looking for someone who is clean, reliable, organised and comfortable following recipes and measurements. When applying, please include your suburb, cooking/meal-prep experience, availability and your price for approximately 3 hours of weekly prep. Ideally this will become a regular weekly arrangement if it works well for both of us.

Personal meal prep chef in Melbourne.

$350

Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia

8th Sep 2026

I’m looking for a reliable, experienced cook for an ongoing weekly arrangement. The role is straightforward: shop for high-quality organic groceries, prepare healthy whole-food meals for the week, portion them into containers, and leave the kitchen clean and organised. * Approximately 8-10 hours per week, split across two sessions. * Ongoing arrangement rather than a one-off task. * $60–75 per hour depending on experience. * Groceries reimbursed separately. * Shopping to be handled by you. * Ingredients will need to be organic. * You will shop at farmers markets, organic grocers, quality butchers and other appropriate suppliers. * Cooking style will be healthy, simple and ingredient-focused rather than elaborate restaurant food. * Good quality proteins, vegetables, slow-cooked dishes & nutritious meals that store & reheat well. * Meals portioned into glass vacuum-sealed containers that I will provide * Strong attention to cleanliness, food safety & kitchen organisation is a MUST. Some flexibility with location is important, as I will be moving around a bit. You would be cooking in my home kitchen. I’m looking for someone who can eventually work independently: We agree on the menu, you handle the shopping and preparation, and have the fridge stocked for the week, without me needing to micromanage the process. Professional kitchen, catering, private-chef or substantial meal-prep experience is very strongly preferred. Equally important is reliability, good judgement with ingredients, efficiency and an understanding of healthy whole-food cooking. I’d like to start with a paid trial session of 4 to 5 hours. If we’re a good fit, we can establish a regular weekly arrangement. Please reply with: * Your cooking / chef experience. * Your general availability. * Which parts of inner Melbourne you can travel to. * Examples or photos of the type of food you cook, if available. * Whether you are comfortable doing the grocery shopping as part of the role.

Excellent service, thank you

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.

We are a busy family living in a 3-bedroom home with 2 young children, looking for a reliable, efficient, and proactive helper on an ongoing fortnightly basis We are seeking someone with great attention to detail who takes initiative around the house—someone who notices what needs doing (like stray toys, dry laundry, or cluttered counters) and handles it without needing step-by-step direction. 1. Meal Prep (5 Family Meals)** Prepare a batch of 4- 5 family-friendly meals per visit to carry us through the fortnight ahead. We need dishes that freeze well and can be pulled out easily during busy weeknights to pop straight into the oven. Don't mind if you do this in our house or in your own kitchen and bring here. Need to let us know in advance what we need to buy or give receipt of ingredients for reimbursement. 2. 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. Great Cook: Comfortable preparing wholesome, family-friendly meals designed to freeze and reheat well. $30 per hour (assuming 5 hours per fortnight?) Looking forward to finding a great ongoing fit for our family!
