What do meal preparation & planning services include?

Having someone to plan and prepare your meals is an easy way to enjoy balanced, delicious meals while hitting your fitness goals at the same time! You can enjoy the convenience of having every meal customised according to your preferences and dietary needs. Here’s what you can expect from meal planning and preparation services near you:

Meal planning

Running out of meal ideas? Let a Tasker plan your meals and save you time and stress! They can personalise meal plans according to your dietary needs, restrictions, allergies, and aversions. You can have ready meals for a day, a week, or a month, but you can always have it adjusted whenever you want. From vegan and gluten-free to weight loss plans, your Tasker can prep your meals and keep you satisfied! For the health-conscious, hiring someone to give nutritional advice can be an added benefit, so you know which diet is the best for you. You can also get a personal trainer to help you lose fat, gain muscles, and reshape your body!

Meal preparation

For those who don’t have the time or energy to cook their own food, you can let your Tasker do it for you! They can prepare ahead meals based on the meal plan both of you have agreed upon. Your Tasker cooks your pre-prepared meals in either their kitchen or your own, and the meals should last depending on your agreed time frame. To make it even easier for you, you can get someone to shop for your groceries, so you can tick off items on your shopping list without having to step out of your house! Feel free to have fresh meat, veggies, and fruits delivered if you want to have your meal made with fresh ingredients.

Meal delivery

If your breakfast and lunch are cooked and prepared in your Tasker’s kitchen, you can have your meals delivered to your door. Your ready prepared meals are sent to you in freezer bags or oven-safe boxes, all set for reheating any time. Make sure to store them properly in your refrigerator or freezer to avoid getting them spoiled! If you need healthy meals delivered right away, a Tasker can also bring you healthy takeaway from your go-to restaurant so you can enjoy freshly-cooked food while sticking to your diet.

Looking for a private chef/cook to meal plan and cook for our family on a weekly basis. This is ongoing work for the right person. We're based in Hallam, VIC. We're after nutritious, healthy meals that are genuinely delicious. If you take pride in your cooking, we want to hear from you. What we need each week: - A weekly meal plan focused on healthy, balanced meals (we'll approve it before you shop) - Grocery shopping (halal meat only, this is essential) - Cooking at our home, and cleaning up the kitchen after - Lunch and dinner for 2 adults, 7 days a week (14 meals), plus baby-size portions for our toddler (low salt, simple ingredients) - We may add breakfast as well, depending on price and meal options Open to the meals being cooked at your place and delivered instead, if that works better for you. We're looking to start ASAP, ideally within the week.

Home cook for Sri Lankan / Indian meal prep – Berwick

$100

Berwick VIC 3806, Australia

19th Aug 2026

My wife and I both work full time and we’re finding it really hard to get proper meals on the table during the week. We’re looking for someone to come to our home in Berwick and batch cook healthy Sri Lankan or South Indian style meals for us. What’s involved: • Cooking at our home (fully equipped kitchen — pots, pans, rice cooker, blender all supplied) • We provide all ingredients. Send us your shopping list, or suggest what we should pick up and what you’d like to cook that day • Around 4-5 dishes per session, portioned into containers for the fridge/freezer • Kitchen and cookware left clean • Approx. 3 hours per session Bonus if you can help with our toddler: We have a nearly 2-year-old daughter, so it would be a big plus if you can suggest and cook simple healthy meals for her as well — mild, no added salt, easy to freeze in small portions. Happy to buy whatever ingredients you recommend for her. What we’re after: • Someone confident with traditional Sri Lankan or Indian home cooking — rice and curry, dhal, sambol, veg dishes, chicken/fish curries • Healthy home-style cooking, not heavy restaurant-style oil • Reliable and comfortable working in a family home This is a paid trial for one session. If it works well for both sides, we’d love to make it regular — twice a week, ongoing. In your offer, please tell us your cooking experience, a sample menu you’d cook, and your availability (weekday evenings or weekends suit us best).
