Home Cook Wanted – Regular Meal Prep – Elsternwick
$50
Elsternwick VIC 3185, Australia
10th Aug 2026
Looking for a home cook to prepare simple, healthy meals to be cooked in your kitchen I have some dietary restrictions, so I need someone who is careful with ingredients and happy to follow a clear list of foods My diet is: * Gluten free * Low FODMAP * Low histamine * No fish or seafood You don’t need to already be an expert in these diets. 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. I’m happy to discuss an hourly rate. Please let me know what suburb you’re in, your cooking experience, your hourly rate, and your availability.
Thankyou so much Deb! Deb completely understood my extremely limited diet and made the process so easy. Great food Really grateful.
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.

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!

Brighton VIC 3186, Australia
14th Jun 2026
Looking for someone to assist with preparing cooked meals for my dog. My vet has provided a meal plan with specific ingredients and food groups. I will provide the recipes, portion guidelines and instructions. I'm very flexible and easygoing about exact measurements - I just need someone who can follow the recipe and prepare healthy meals containing the required ingredients.

Ideally meals would be prepared in your own kitchen. I can collect if you're within approximately 20km of Brighton, arrange an Uber Parcel pickup, or delivery would be amazing if possible. This may become an ongoing arrangement for the right person. Please let me know your location, availability, preferences around grocery options etc & delivery, pick up etc and any other relevant information.

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!
