Need takeaway meals vegetarian

Looking for a cook who can come to our home in Docklands, Vic and do meal prep for Lunch & dinner for 5 weekdays. Cuisine: Indian, Asian & Mexican Headcount: 2 adults & 1 baby Groceries will be provided however cook needs to provide a list, they will use our kitchen & utensils. Preferred Meals: 4 curries, 20 Roti, Veg Rice, Chicken Rice bowls etc. Either they can come on weekday evenings 1-2 times/w or Weekend. Happy to pay per hour or lump-sum per visit.

I’m looking for someone with a fitness or nutrition background who can come to my place and help with meal prep, but also explain what they’re doing as we go. I don’t just want meals cooked. I want to learn how to do this properly so I can build a system that works long term. I train regularly with strength training, eat larger portions than average and my goal is body recomposition, building muscle while staying lean. Discipline isn’t my issue. Time and efficiency are. Meal prep is taking me far too long and I want to do it smarter. Ideally, you’d come to my place and cook meals with me or cook while I watch and learn. I want help with batch cooking, portioning, keeping meals filling and moist, especially chicken and mince and understanding how to adjust food based on training versus rest days. The food itself is simple. Chicken, beef, mince, rice, potatoes, vegetables. No fancy recipes, no crash dieting, no extreme restriction. Just real food that works and is sustainable. I’d love someone with a background as a personal trainer, sports science or nutrition student, physique competitor or someone who’s genuinely lived this lifestyle and understands how to eat well while training hard. You don’t need to be a registered dietitian. Practical experience matters more. This would be in home at my place, likely once a week or once a fortnight, with the potential to be ongoing if it’s a good fit. Happy to discuss rates based on time spent cooking, planning and coaching. If you reply, please include your background, any relevant qualifications, how you’d approach meal prep for someone training regularly, your availability and your rate. I’m looking to build a long term setup, not just get a few meals cooked.
