I need macro friendly, gluten free, healthy meals prepped. 12 per week ( lunch and dinner for 6 days). I need them made with mostly organic produce, grass fed beef, white fish, organic air chilled chicken and whole foods. No seed oils (tallow or ghee preferred), cooked on stainless steel or cast iron, no plastic tools being used, including cutting boards. Portioned into glass containers (I will provide). Open to negotiate this process to make it as simple as possible. I can do shopping if needed and deliver ingredients.

I would like an experienced chef to cook some meals for the week. Roughly 20 meals (3 meals a day over 5 days) Meals are simple Breakfast (Possibly an egg sandwich) Lunch (Grilled chicken, rice and green beans) Dinner (Mince meat, rice, peas/corn) Chef can add their own touch to the meals but that's the general idea

Imesha did an incredible job, food was cooked beautifully, cleaned up after she finished. Very happy with her work, would definitely recommend and use again!

📌 WEEKLY HOME COOK — HEALTHY MEALS, ONGOING ROLE We’re a family looking for a reliable home cook to come once a week for a batch cooking session. We’re all eating healthier to lose of weight — but we still want food that tastes great. Ongoing role for the right person. ✅ WHAT’S INVOLVED • 1 session per week (approx. 2.5–3 hours) • Cook 3–4 healthy dishes, batch-style, for the week • Portion meals into containers so we can just grab, heat and eat • Cook in our kitchen, leave it clean 🍽️ MEALS WE ENJOY (flexible!) Flavourful, home-style cooking made the healthy way — grilled, baked, slow-cooked. Chicken, lamb, goat, seafood. No beef or pork please. 💰 BUDGET Please quote your hourly or per-session rate (groceries on top). 📅 TIMING Weekday preferred, flexible on the day. If this sounds like you, tell us a bit about your cooking background. Looking forward to finding our person!

Really good service. He helped with meal prep. I highly recommend

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!

I’m looking for someone to help with healthy home style meal prep for our family (myself, my husband, and 8 month old daughter- baby doesn’t really much by way of solids yet!). I am hoping to organise a weekly session, where I can source the ingredients, and we can agree upon simple recipes, and you can cook and store away some meals, to be refrigerated and or frozen. What I’m looking for: - Weekly session - Prepare 2-4 serves for 3-5 meals per session (lunches/dinners) - Focus on high-protein, lower-calorie meals (e.g. chicken, fish, lean meats, vegetables) - Simple, nutritious, not heavy or overly processed - Boxing up of the meals into containers, ready to be stored in fridge + freezer - Light clean/tidy up of the kitchen after use (we also have a fortnightly cleaner, so this should only involve the clean up from your cooking session) Logistics: - Location: Port Melbourne - Frequency: once per week - Ideal time/day: Wednesday late morning/early afternoon - Can be done in my kitchen with clean up please - I will cover the cost of groceries separately - Open to meal plan ideas, or I can pick out recipes, happy to be flexible and discuss exact details Ideal person: Reliable, organised, clean in the kitchen, care around hand hygiene Looking for someone ongoing if we are a good fit.
