*REPOST - PREVIOUS POST EXPIRED + INTERSTATE TRAVELS DISRUPTION WITH TIMING OF TASK COMPLETION Looking for someone reliable and confident in the kitchen to help with my weekly meal prep on an ongoing basis for the task to be completed on a Sunday. I will provide all groceries, containers, equipment needed - it will just have to be completed in your kitchen I will provide all ingredients, containers, recipes, quantities and instructions — you won’t need to purchase anything. The prep is straightforward and consists of only 3 main recipes cooked in large batches. Each week: • Cook 3 recipes in bulk • Portion into 21 full meals (7 of each recipe) • Prepare 7 containers of dry oats + protein powder – weighing only, no cooking • Prepare 7 containers of dry cereal – weighing only, no cooking • Clean cookware, utensils and kitchen afterwards While there are 35 containers total, only 3 recipes actually require cooking. The entire task should take approximately 3 hours from start to finish, including cooking, portioning and cleaning. All recipes and exact quantities will be provided. As this is fitness/bodybuilding-style meal prep, accurate weighing and portioning is important. I’m based in Oak Park and would prefer the cooking to be done at your home. Ideally you’re located in Oak Park or a nearby suburb so collecting/dropping off ingredients and finished meals is convenient. You don’t need to be a professional chef — I’m mainly looking for someone who is clean, reliable, organised and comfortable following recipes and measurements. When applying, please include your suburb, cooking/meal-prep experience, availability and your price for approximately 3 hours of weekly prep. Ideally this will become a regular weekly arrangement if it works well for both of us.

So basically, I have a meal plan already developed and I need someone to prepare the meals. Preferably someone who works in hospitality. Measurements and ingredients are all on the meal plan. I can even provide a shopping list & food containers to make things easier. Ideally, I’d like to come and pick up my daily meals every morning. It will probably be an ongoing task if it works out well. We can discuss rates and also grocery budget arrangements

Heya! I’m used to meal prepping, however, I want something personal and custom. So I’m looking for a personal chef, to come for a few hours once a week and prepare 28-30 meals. Because this would be a weekly recurring activity I’m hoping to lock something in for a particular day of the week every week (unless if sick of course). Building a friendship is important to, he/she must be friendly as well. Thanks.
