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.

Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia

8th Sep 2026

I’m looking for a reliable, experienced cook for an ongoing weekly arrangement. The role is straightforward: shop for high-quality organic groceries, prepare healthy whole-food meals for the week, portion them into containers, and leave the kitchen clean and organised. * Approximately 8-10 hours per week, split across two sessions. * Ongoing arrangement rather than a one-off task. * $60–75 per hour depending on experience. * Groceries reimbursed separately. * Shopping to be handled by you. * Ingredients will need to be organic. * You will shop at farmers markets, organic grocers, quality butchers and other appropriate suppliers. * Cooking style will be healthy, simple and ingredient-focused rather than elaborate restaurant food. * Good quality proteins, vegetables, slow-cooked dishes & nutritious meals that store & reheat well. * Meals portioned into glass vacuum-sealed containers that I will provide * Strong attention to cleanliness, food safety & kitchen organisation is a MUST. Some flexibility with location is important, as I will be moving around a bit. You would be cooking in my home kitchen. I’m looking for someone who can eventually work independently: We agree on the menu, you handle the shopping and preparation, and have the fridge stocked for the week, without me needing to micromanage the process. Professional kitchen, catering, private-chef or substantial meal-prep experience is very strongly preferred. Equally important is reliability, good judgement with ingredients, efficiency and an understanding of healthy whole-food cooking. I’d like to start with a paid trial session of 4 to 5 hours. If we’re a good fit, we can establish a regular weekly arrangement. Please reply with: * Your cooking / chef experience. * Your general availability. * Which parts of inner Melbourne you can travel to. * Examples or photos of the type of food you cook, if available. * Whether you are comfortable doing the grocery shopping as part of the role.

Excellent service, thank you

Elwood VIC 3184, Australia

Weekly Meal Prep Cook – Apprentice Chef Preferred I’m looking for a reliable apprentice chef or experienced home cook to come to my home once a week and prepare fresh, healthy meal prep for the week ahead. I’m ideally looking for someone who enjoys cooking and can bring some creativity to the menu rather than preparing the same meals every week. What I’m looking for: * Weekly meal preparation at my home * 3–4 different dishes each week * The 3–4 dishes should provide lunches and dinners for two people for the week * Healthy, balanced meals that are high in protein * Variety across different cuisines and flavours * Meals prepared in bulk and portioned for the week * Someone who can come up with new menu ideas each week * Approximately 2–4 hours of cooking, depending on the menu and quantity * Kitchen cleaned and left tidy after cooking Ingredients I will purchase and provide all ingredients. Once the weekly menu has been agreed, I’ll organise and have all ingredients ready for you when you arrive. Ideal person I’d particularly love to find an apprentice chef looking to earn some extra money and build experience outside of a commercial kitchen. You should: * Have a genuine passion for cooking * Be confident preparing healthy/high-protein meals * Be creative and happy to suggest new dishes * Have good food hygiene and kitchen practices * Be reliable and consistent with a weekly arrangement Payment: Hourly rate preferred. Please include your hourly rate and any relevant cooking experience when applying. This is intended to be an ongoing weekly arrangement for the right person, rather than a one-off job.

2nd Aug 2026

Looking for an Ongoing Meal Prep Chef (Weekly) We’re looking for an experienced home cook or meal prep chef to come to our home once a week and prepare healthy meals for the week ahead. This will ideally become an ongoing weekly arrangement if we’re a good fit. What we’re after: * Cook meals in our home once per week. * Shop for all ingredients beforehand (we’ll provide a separate grocery budget). * Prepare high-protein, calorie-conscious meals. * Focus on fresh, whole-food ingredients. * Portion meals into containers ready for the fridge/freezer. * Clean the kitchen after cooking. The meals: We’re still working out exactly how many meals we’d like each week (likely 16-20), so we’d love someone who is flexible and can help us design the right plan. Generally we’re looking for meals that are: * High protein * Lower calorie * Healthy and balanced * Great tasting (not boring meal prep!) * Easy to reheat Examples include grilled chicken, lean beef, fish, rice, potatoes, roasted vegetables, salads, curries, stir-fries, burrito bowls, etc. About us We’re active and train regularly, so nutrition is important to us. We’re looking for someone who enjoys cooking healthy food and can bring ideas rather than simply following recipes. When applying, please include: * Your experience * A few example meals you would prepare * Your availability * Your price for a weekly cook Looking forward to finding someone for a long-term arrangement. Our assumed budget for this is $45-70/hour (depending on experience) and 3-4 hours per session.

Deb is great. Really friendly, and awesome food. Highly recommend.
