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

Korean/Asian meal prep

Elsternwick VIC 3185, Australia

23rd May 2026

We need someone to come and help prepare lots of Asian and Korean style banchan and vegetarian dishes. Here and then we will include meat. We don’t need MSG and focus on cleanliness (for example vegetables must be cleaned thoroughly and all counters wiped before and after prep). We would be happy to do all the shopping - you just need to tell us what we can get and make a menu. Specific vegetables from Asian stores can be purchased by you and we will reimburse upon receipt. Some dishes need to be soy free. No dairy in all dishes. We are looking for a long-term weekly arrangement if things work out. Each week, you can come in for 2 hours to start.

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!).
