We are a couple living in St Kilda East looking for someone to come and help meal prep for the week, ideally on a Monday. It would involve coming to our house and making breakfast (eg overnight oats) for one person for 4 days, lunch for one person for 4 days that can be reheated in a microwave if needed (this can be the same thing for the 4 days a week), some healthy snacks (eg chopped vegetables, fruit, green smoothie) and dinner for 2 people for 3-4 nights. We like to eat as healthy as possible, with lots of vegetables and free range meat/fish. We can do the shopping or pay for you to do this and will reimburse for the groceries. Ideally you would also clean the kitchen afterwards and use our storage containers to put everything in the fridge. Some of the kinds of meals we enjoy are stir fries, green goddess salad with a protein, Mediterranean bean salad with canned tuna, salmon poke bowl, vegetable soups or soup with some veggies, meat + 3 veg. We love Asian, Mediterranean and Mexican food especially. Prefer that carbs are only a small part of the meal or can be adjusted. If you are familiar with macros and can make the meals with the cals available that would be great too. Happy for you to provide a menu or I can give suggestions.

I am looking for a reliable and experienced home cook to assist with meal preparation on a weekly basis. We are focused on healthy, nutritious vegetarian meals and are looking for someone who can commit to a long-term arrangement. Schedule: • Frequency: 3 days per week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday—flexible on specific days). • Duration: 3 hours per session (9 hours total per week). What You’ll Be Doing: • Preparing fresh, healthy vegetarian meals (lunches and dinners). • Primary Cuisine: Indian. • Secondary Cuisines: Open to other healthy vegetarian options (e.g., Mediterranean, Thai, or salads) for variety. • Basic kitchen cleanup related to the cooking. Requirements: • Proven experience in vegetarian cooking (especially Indian cuisine). • Focus on "healthy" cooking—using minimal oil and fresh ingredients. • Strict adherence to hygiene and cleanliness. • Ability to suggest a weekly menu or follow provided recipes. Rate: Please quote your hourly rate or a total weekly price for the 9 hours. (Note: Groceries will be provided/reimbursed separately).

We're a couple in Prahran looking for someone who already has this figured out. My partner is pregnant and we're both time-poor — we just want to come home to something genuinely good to eat, five nights a week, without having to think about it. We're looking for a weekly cook who comes to our place once a week, spends a few hours prepping 5 dinners and 5 lunches for two, portions everything properly, and leaves the kitchen clean. Each week you propose the meals, I sign off, you shop and cook. The parameters don't change much: High protein, lean — grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, wild-caught fish (snapper, barramundi, salmon — no high-mercury fish like tuna or swordfish) Lots of plant diversity and vegetables in every meal Whole foods only — organic where possible, no preservatives Cuisines we love: Asian (Thai, Japanese, Korean), Mediterranean, Modern Australian, hearty comfort food Pregnancy-safe food handling is important You'd shop for ingredients (budget provided separately, roughly ~$200/week reimbursed on receipt). Labour budget is $180 per session. We're not looking for a one-off. If it clicks, this is a long-term weekly arrangement. When you apply, tell me about your cooking background and send me 3 meals you'd suggest for our first week. That'll tell me everything I need to know.

Come once or twice a week and cook for me and my partner meal prep for our week. Vegetarian food, no eggs My partner has additional dietary restrictions (Jain diet)

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. Please share your ideas and interest :)
