I am so lucky that Arianna has responded to my posted task! I could not wish for a more efficient professional service. I cannot thank Arianna enough for her expertise, punctuality, quick turnaround, attention to detail, extreme patience, and above all, great sense of style. Arianna has been meeting every request of mine and asked every question promptly and in detail. She was never short of suggestions and explored every way of optimising solutions, although my kitchen layout was not a straightforward one. From the very beginning, I felt very confident in trusting Arianna to find the best option possible. Arianna's commitment to my project was as high as my own. I highly recommend Arianna for design and draft. I will not hesitate to come back to her in the future. Truly great job! Thank you Arianna! Elena

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.

Ringwood VIC, Australia

28th May 2026

🍽️ What I'm looking for: I'm after a reliable home cook or chef to prepare healthy lunches and dinners for one person, batch-cooked at my home once or twice a week. I'm specifically interested in Ayurvedic-inspired cooking — whole, seasonal foods using warming spices like turmeric, ginger, cumin, coriander and cardamom. Think nourishing dals, kitchari, vegetable curries, soups, grain dishes and simple salads. Food that is easy to digest, anti-inflammatory, and genuinely good for the body. ✅ What I need: • Lunches and dinners for 5–7 days • Batch cooked at my home (fully equipped kitchen) • Fresh, whole ingredients — no processed foods • Meals portioned and stored in containers ready to reheat • Grocery shopping can be done by you (costs covered) or I can provide ingredients • Ongoing weekly arrangement if we're a good fit 🌿 Ideal cooking style: • Ayurvedic, Indian, Sri Lankan, or wholefood plant-based background highly regarded • Experience cooking with therapeutic spices and anti-inflammatory ingredients a big plus • Vegetarian-friendly though not strictly vegetarian 💰 Budget: Open to discussion based on experience — please include your hourly rate or weekly rate in your offer. Please include a little about your cooking background and any experience with healthy or Ayurvedic-style cooking. Happy to do a trial session first.

Looking for someone efficient, reliable and food-safe to help with cooking / meal prepping meals for my dog Sparky over the next day or two while he’s unwell and awaiting surgery. I have a vet-provided meal plan/recipe guide that I’ll provide, but I’m honestly not super strict or intense about exact measurements as long as the ingredients/food groups are covered properly.
