Regular Meal Prep – Healthy, Allergen-Friendly Cooking for Busy Couple

$5

Brighton VIC 3186, Australia

21st Jun 2025

Hi, we’re Aaron & Zoe — a busy working couple who love good food but don’t have time to cook during the week. We’re looking for someone who enjoys preparing clean, flavourful meals and can help keep us well-fed and on track. We’re after 5 different meals per week (10x portions each = 20 serves total) to cover our weekday dinners and lunches. Meals can be cooked in our home or delivered — we’re flexible. We both have dietary needs that must be strictly followed: • Coeliac (strictly gluten-free) • Milk allergy (no dairy or animal milks/products) • Low fructans (no onion, garlic, asparagus, cauliflower, etc.) • Low fructose (no honey, HFCS, apple, pear, mango, melon, etc.) ✅ Garlic- and onion-infused oil is fine ❌ Please avoid high-fructan legumes like baked beans, red kidney beans, black beans, and split peas ✅ Ingredients like firm tofu, canned lentils (rinsed), and canned chickpeas (rinsed) are okay Meals should be portioned individually — Zoe eats smaller serves than Aaron. We’ll provide glass containers with wooden or BPA-free lids. We enjoy variety — favourites include stir-fries, herb-roasted proteins with veg, tamari beef bowls, satay chicken, Asian noodles, and tray bakes. We’re happy to collaborate on weekly menus and will shop from Coles/Woolworths/Aldi with a list from you. Any specialty items can be sourced separately. Open to weekly or fortnightly prep with freezing to save time and cost. No set day required. Please share your experience, food style, and estimated pricing. We look forward to working with someone who enjoys making food that fuels people. Warmly, Aaron & Zoe Example dishes we enjoy: •Basil Chicken Stirfry with Capsicum, Carrot & Jasmine Rice •Beef & Broccoli Stirfry with Tamari and Black Rice •Lemon Herb Roast Chicken Thighs with Pumpkin & Broccolini •Pork Carnitas Bowl with Quinoa, Capsicum & Guacamole •Dill & Lemon Baked Salmon with Sweet Potato Mash & Beans •Ginger Prawn Stirfry, Mexican Beef Bowls, Asian Noodle Dishes

Looking for someone to provide organic and gluten free meal prep - breakfast, lunch and dinner for 5 days. See attached image for desired daily protein/fats etc below.

Officer VIC 3809, Australia

10th Jan 2025

I am looking for someone to assist me in meal planning and preparation that caters to my dietary requirements. I am allergic to all dairy products and peanuts (tree nuts are ok) and try to be low FODMAP as possible for gut health. If I could sign up to something like Lite n Easy, I would but I can't. I need to get back to a healthier weight and lifestyle and someone to take the above in consideration, plan the meals and ideally prep them so it is really clear to me what I eat and when, this would be life saving. I know I have put down Officer but I am also available in Caulfield as well. Price is negotiable

Tabatha was a cut above the rest who responded to my Airtasker request. She was great at communicating what was included in the offer and kept me in the loop at every stage and was able to cater to my specific dietary requirements. I have yet to try the meals but they look delicious!
